      Moving games in Battle.net

      Bysherwin March 1, 2014

      Blizzard created a new gaming client called Battle.net. It’s just like the clients from Steam and Origin. It manages the games you have purchased/installed from them.

      Lepow Moonstone 3000

      Bysherwin February 26, 2014December 31, 2021

      It’s been a while since my last blog post. We’ve been on a brief hiatus. During our hiatus, we’ve found ourselves needing a portable charger when electricity isn’t available. After coming back, I checked out what was being offered. Newegg put the Lepow Moonstone 3000 on sale for $12.99. I figured it’s worth a try…

      Upgraded my 2011 MBP with Samsung 840 EVO 500GB SSD

      Bysherwin December 2, 2013December 31, 2021

      Amazon recently has the Samsung 840 EVO 500GB SSD (MZ-7TE500BW) on sale. I decided to pick one up andupgrade the Samsung 830 256GB SSD on my 2011 MBP (MC721LL/A). The 256GB is still running great, but I just needed a larger drive. I wanted to run Windows on bootcamp. I only had 20GB useable space…

      Target iPad Trade-in

      Bysherwin November 14, 2013December 31, 2021

      Last week Target had a great deal with the trade-in programming involving iPads. The value of iPads were increased to $200, even the 1st gen iPad. This was perfect timing as I was ready to get rid of my 1st gen iPad. My son uses it and it’s gotten so old that many of his…

      Macrovision semi-fix

      Bysherwin November 6, 2013December 31, 2021

      With new technology available, I’m able to capture old home videos from VHS and save onto digital format. I’m currently using a Canopus ADVC110. I got a good deal on a used one off eBay. It’s worked great for me. But what about videos with macrovision? Unfortunately, the ADVC110 will also capture the macrovision and…

      Just upgraded to Windows 8.1

      Bysherwin October 18, 2013December 31, 2021

      Shout out to Jeff from JBTech for reminding me about the release of 8.1. I’ve been running Windows 8 for a while and I recently successfully got a Hackintosh running. So lately I’ve been on my Hackintosh rather than my Windows 8 machine. You won’t find the update in Windows Update. It’s actually found in…
