Give Her a Break, It’s a Tough Question

My consumption of political news in the past month has been reduced to “find out what stupid shit Palin said today.” I really, really did not think that the Republican party could come up with somebody more unfit to run the country — any country — than Bush, but they’ve truly outdone themselves this time.

Great Success

I was pretty sure the title of this blog was going to be “How to Turn 300gbs of Lost Data into 600gbs of Lost Data” but the transplant worked; I switched the logic boards on the drives and it booted right up. Never have I been so moved by the Windows startup chime. I immediately [...]

My Computer, the Prankster

Hey, remember how back in March 2007 I bought a new hard drive to put my most important shit on? Well apparently if I had actually backed my data up onto it then, I wouldn’t have learned a lesson.
After months of non-use, I finally transported my computer over to my GF’s last night and on [...]

O’Reilly Hacked

So now that it’s hit the mainstream media (which means it’s Old News online), I’m sure you’ve all heard about Sarah Palin’s email getting “hacked.” I say “hacked” because the perpetrator didn’t really hack anything so much as know two or three easily obtainable pieces of information about a public figure. Palin should know know [...]

Selling Things Online is Fun!

I’m buying my GF and I new laptops, so I’m selling my old Fujitsu Lifebook. I’ve sold some NES games recently on Craigslist, so I figured I’d use it to unload my laptop as well. So far all I’ve gotten is a bunch of responses from “Nigerian bank account”-type scammers. It’s pretty obvious which mails [...]

Bored.

In the time it took me to photograph and blog this, it quit being funny to me.
