out with the crap, in with the new

For the first time, umm, ever, I finally have a cell phone with the features that I want instead of the best thing I could get for $0. On the left: my crappy old Motorola V101. Goodbye, sweet stupid bulky box with a full keyboard. Why didn’t you have a WAP browser? On the right, […]

Nothing like some wackos on a Tuesday.

Steve Currey’s Expedition Company – Voyage to Our Hollow Earth – This sounds like it’ll be one helluva trip. I mean, just look at the itinerary: Day 1 – Depart your Hometown to Moscow. Day 2 – Arrive in Moscow. Transfer to Hotel Russia. Sightseeing Moscow. Overnight in Hotel Russia front of St. Basil’s. Day […]

phones phones phones.

Seems like Nokia still has the most phones that have an actual infrared port. Given the cheapness of the hardware I don’t understand why all phones don’t have one. Anyways. I’m seriously leaning towards getting either a 7210, 7190, or 8390. The 7210 and 8390 are still current models, while the 7190 is older and […]

If you are running Windows right now…

… I urge you to do these simple things right now to protect your machine: RUN WINDOWS UPDATE. Install any and all critical updates. If necessary, install the latest service pack, reboot and re-run Windows Update. It’s so darn easy to do and yet people don’t know about it. Get a decent piece of anti-virus […]

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 […]
