thank you amazon. you made my day.
I’ve never had a hard drive fail, and yesterday I decided that since a lot of the critical data for my project is stored on my laptop, I’d better start backing this up. I bought the original 17-inch powerbook available from apple so I was blessed with Firewire 800 (twice as fast as the original firewire 400)… and boy was it time to start using it.
I was originally planning on...
how long do YOU have to live??
yeah so according to www.DeathClock.com I’m underweight and I’m going to die in 2061… August 23, 2061 that is. At this time of posting I have about 1,787,556,240 seconds left to live!! maybe I shouldn’t be watching this dumb movie…. it’s wasting precious seconds! oh no!
the screen savers...nope.
everybody was quick to bash the G4TechTV merger when it first went down, but I held off before the results were clearly visible. I decided I’d give the new hosts a shot, check out the changes, and then make appropriate comments a little later on. Here’s my rant.
I wouldn’t call myself the most diehard TSS fan, but it wasn’t a bad show. I remember buying a ReplayTV just to...
new apple store being built
I was at the mall buying some kicks and I noticed that Apple was building a new store at a nearby mall, South Shore Plaza in Braintree, MA. Sweet. Now maybe I can score a job while working on my latest project. Better update my resumé…

ipodlinux installer 0.3a
I saw a post on slashdot about the latest version of iPodLinux being reviewed on xlr8yourmac, so I’m giving everyone a heads up that you can dual boot into linux mode and keep the original Apple iPod OS on there… a good call. Hoorah. I’ve got it on my iPod… it’s got some neat features. Check out the linked review for download locations and other features.
moby tracks
I’ve been listenin to some tracks by moby lately, and I can really recommend several on both his “18” and “Play” albums… including the originals and the “B Sides” remixes. check out some previews on iTunes:
Play: Porcelain Natural Blues Inside 18: Fireworks Extreme Ways Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday) Play (B Sides): Flower Sunday (Remix)...

new blog... a new chapter.
oh boy, a site that I don’t have to design! right now I’m using a pretty slick template from the blogger selection to power the GUI of this new project, but I’m not sure how long it’s going to last. Don’t expect anything, but you never know what I’m working on in my free time.
very rarely do I mention anything from my offline life in the public, but recently...
