Excellent customer service

As it is probably apparent, I'm a bit addicted to my new hobby and bought another helicopter. This time it was a Blade mSR. I flew it a few times and it flies pretty well. However, after those flights, I started seeing a problem where the helicopter looked like it was periodically losing power during flight.

Automator to the rescue

This past week, I finally upgraded my wife's MacBook to Snow Leopard (yes, I realize it is a year late). The upgrade went fine, but last night my wife told me that her DYMO Labelwriter 4XL wasn't properly printing PayPal shipping labels. I wrote a few months ago about printing labels on the DYMO. I'm not sure what happened to my wife's machine, but I had to solve this problem. I went down the path of scripting it and sending the label to DYMO's software. Unfortuantely DYMO's software is junk and threw exceptions when I used their demo AppleScripts. So, I had to find an alternative.

Review: Blade CX3

First off, I have to admit that I'm getting addicted to RC helicopters which if I don't watch myself is going to get quite expensive! Now that I have that off my chest, I've now purchased my third helicopter, this time a Blade CX3. This helicopter is a huge step up in terms of size from my Blade mCX2.
