PS3, XBOX 360, Revolution, which to choose?

9 June, 2005
I’m going to have quite the time deciding which next-generation game system to purchase when they all come out. The XBOX 360 comes out first; around Christmas 2005. The Nintendo Revolution and the Playstation 3 come out sometime in 2006. The XBOX 360 is going to have removable hard drives for all your saved games, stuff you’ve downloaded from XBOX Live, and anything else you can think of. You can even hook up your XBOX to your home computer network and share files that way.

Chain Letters

7 June, 2005
AAUUGH! Okay, so today I got 16 emails. I think maybe 3 or 4 of them were actually worth while. At least 10 of them were stupid CHAIN LETTERS! There was only 1 that I actually thought was funny: See it here I mean, if people can send me 4 or 5 every day, then they must forward every single one they get, or they must get at least 10 a day!

Say NO to Microsoft

31 May, 2005
Well, I’ve been doing a little research. Turns out, it’s not just me that doesn’t care for Microsoft. I found a cool page that talks about how the dominate about every technology market you can think of: Just Say No to Microsoft Plus, why get a PC when you can get a Mac Mini for $550? Or, CompUSA is having a special right now, you can get a Mac Mini, plus a keyboard and mouse, and a 17” LCD monitor all for $700.

iTunes

29 May, 2005
Hey, are you still using Windows Media Player? Yeah yeah; I know. They just came out with Media Player 10 and all but, have you seen iTunes? They have it for PC’s now! It’s about a bazillion times better! It’s a lot easier to create play-lists. You can create a smart play-list: All you do is enter the artist or album, and it creates a play-list with everything you specified in it!

Firefox Google Toolbar

27 May, 2005
Okay, so I was doing some news browsing the other day and I found a article about the new Google Toolbar 3.0. The article was asking why they haven’t come out with a toolbar for Firefox. I’ll tell you why: It doesn’t need it! The only reason Internet Explorer needs it is because it doesn’t have any built in search box, and, if you don’t have SP2, it doesn’t block pop-ups!

YANB - Yet Another New Blog

26 May, 2005
Well, it probably won’t be updated very often but, I’ve started another blog. It’s a blog of pictures I’ve taken with my digital camera. You can look at it here. There is currently only one post but, hey! You have to start somewhere, right?

Blogging

24 May, 2005
Well, hmm. I haven’t really been keeping up with this blog very well have I? I don’t have an excuse this time; I haven’t been busy at all. It seems these past few weeks my social life has died. Everything I was involved in ended for the summer. Plus, there’s nobody in my age in this neighborhood. Oh well. There is one thing to report though: I now am the proud owner of a digital camera!

Belief-O-Matic

11 April, 2005
It’s very interesting. You, at least I didn’t, come up as the religion you think you would. The religion I have sorta-kinda been was second to last on the list! Hmmm. Maybe this is a sign… :) Take the Quiz

Opening Night

18 March, 2005
Well, it’s come at last. Opening night. Of my play I mean. “Bye Bye Birdie” opens tonight. Everyone gets that kinda nervous/excited feeling on opening night. Being at least a little nervous is a good thing though. It keeps you on your toes. It’s going to be awesome. I love doing musical theatre. You build such great friendships and meet such great people. Also, you get to wear silly costumes, put on hideous make-up, sing, dance, and act!

TUMBLEWEEDS!

13 March, 2005
AAUUUGH! Today has been absolutely insane. Pure and utter insanity I tell you. We had some serious wind yesterday (gusts over 40mph!) and it brought the tumbleweeds. You couldn't see the front door, you couldn't walk on the deck or the front path, the orchard in the back looks like a secret garden because it's completely covered. I tell ya. I spent my day uncovering the front door and the deck.
