Hey there readers.
I recently decided to drop the akaRaff moniker that I have been hiding behind for the past 4 years so I will no be updating this site. I have started a new site behind my real name, Dave Raffaele, that will continue the tradition of sharing things that keep a 30 something guy […]

I bought an iPhone about 3 weeks ago and I am still wasting 4 hours on a Sunday playing around with new applications. It does everything I have been trying to do with my past smartphones and completely solves the major problem that I have been trying to solve for years…i am able to walk […]

Every July 3rd, Plymouth opens the beach for 4 hours, lights 6 or 7 HUGE bonfires, and let’s people drink and shoot off whatever fireworks they want to. Trust me…it is as nuts as it sounds. I recommend experiencing it for yourself next year. Click here to see some more shots of the Insanity.
Enjoy.

I have been getting a lot of traffic to this post which I originally wrote back in November of 2005. I thought I would share it again since it still works and is one of the most important digital music listening assets I have. Re-Enjoy.

I signed up for Seesmic a little while back and today I decided to actually check it out. For those who haven’t heard about it, the service is basically a video version of Twitter. Since I know I am not ready to unleash a video version of this mug to the world quite yet […]

I have been having horrible luck with my work laptop so I am about to implement a way to automatically back up my hard drive.
What happens when you combine random music snippets with a stream of random Flickr photos? You get something amazing called Islands of Consciousness. The result is stuck between creepy and beautiful.

This is just pure genius.
There are a ton more like this on Youtube. Just seach for “AMV Comedians”. The Chappelle one is great too.

My work laptop died yesterday morning. It was acting very odd on Friday (i.e. very slow and a lot of “not responding” going on) and finally yesterday morning I got a fatal Blue Screen of Death. My boot file was corrupt and I was up shit’s creek. I hadn’t backed up my stuff in months […]
