Thanksgiving? No Thank You

How you can tell one of your hard disks is dead.

When this happens: That bad. Luckily the drive is less than a year old, so I will RMA it. Also luckily I burned the important stuff off of it last night.

the mustard of your doom

Yes, I got my first speeding ticket ever this weekend. And I didn’t get off easy. Suckage. I got my latest order of cool very 3rd-party GBA stuff from Success. Including a new F2A 256Mbit flash cartridge and linker. Now I can finally put a 128Mbit game as well as a ton of other stuff […]

crap.

BBC NEWS | Europe | Serbia bloc folds after key role – c’mon, guys, you really don’t want to elect another insane right-wing nationalist government again. Remember the last time? Civil war happened? Civil war bad.

my head hurts.

Woke up this morning with a pounding headache. I’m trying to make sure that this cold I’m getting / have gotten doesn’t take over and reboot my system. This weekend we watched a few good movies. 28 Days Later, directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting). What a bloody wild ride that was. I found myself almost […]
