  • My second computer

    Yesterday, I took apart my second computer to get it scrapped.   It was built by a small computer shop on Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena. It no longer exists.   I remember helping picking out the parts- a 500 mhz Pentium 3 CPU. 20 gigs of storage. Two optical drives in it. The green case,…

  • The BlackBerry switch.

    The Razr I’ve had for about five years now finally gave out. The thing couldn’t send out text messages properly, and placing a call would just force the phone to reboot itself time and time again. I got pretty pissed off at the thing, and so I finally decided to give it up. I wanted…

  • The Used iPod

    I’ve been the only person in my household with any sort of MP3 player, my classic ipod mini still serving me well on my drives out and about. With my mother receiving a gift of an unopened iPod video, the only person left in my household was my sister, who had resorted upon mix CDs…

  • Another Beta- Dropbox

    Yeah, I’ve been in a beta-spur as of late, and the latest is Dropbox, an online storage solution that syncs folders across computers with online access. I have 10 invites. Anyone want one?

  • skitch (yet another mac app)

    Oh yeah, I’m talking about yet another mac app. I don’t know what it is, but i think the OS X system as a whole has generated so many small, yet great applications for people to use. I’m having fun just trying to figure out how to utilize all the small cool apps that are…

  • Ratchet and Clank Signed

    So I got a signed copy of Ratchet and Clank: Future from the guys at Insomniac, thanks to a friend who works there. I have a bunch of cool stuff i have signed now… I’ll write a more lengthy post when I have a time. This proposal I’m writing is currently killing me.

  • Evernote

    I’m currently in the process of playing around with the Evernote site, currently in Beta. Does anyone else want an invite? (I have 19 left atm…) Leave your email in the comments, or a good way to get rid of commie infestations.

  • To which he muses tech crap

    In the end, the Cornstalker forums are completely done. The upgrade itself was relatively short in comparisoin to the preparation and cleanup of the forums. I attempted to prepare myself for this upgrade, but in the end, as well prepared I was, the problems I encounctered were server specific. My original plan was to access…

  • Recommended Mac Apps

    Okay, I’ve been promising a list of my favorite apps on the mac for a week or so now, and with midterms finally over, I’ve finally finished the list of my favorite apps for Macs, both freeware and paid software. All the programs are available for OS X 10.4 or later, and are Universal programs…

  • twitter

    i have slowly started to use Twitter more and more now. Follow me now, on the twitterz. Anyone else here have it? Midterms still going on. I’m still going insane.
