MIA - Paper Airplanes Ringtone

2008-08-20T18:45:00.001-04:00

I kept hearing it in the trailer and couldn't get it out of my head so I made aringtone of the song from Pineapple Express.

Racing

2008-08-18T17:41:00.003-04:00

The results from my autocross event. I came in 4th - not too shabby for my first time!

Photoshop & Video (Back to You - and ALF!)

2008-06-26T19:11:00.005-04:00

I submitted a photoshop to'day. It's only using paint... so I guess it's a paint-shop. In any case check out the submission. I've also got the original. Only 3 more days to watch "Back to You" on Hulu! I found I really liked it once I checked it out - turns out it's because it comes from the creators of Frasier and Just Shoot Me, working together. Don't get too attached to Gracie... I still

Past Performance

2008-06-17T19:38:00.002-04:00

I went back today and found some previous 3DMark06 Scores since I was finally able to get my 3DMark06 up and running. I still had my old VISTA x64 install on my extra HD (haven't needed to reformat it for space yet) so I installed everything (didn't work) and then copied over all the OpenAL32.dll to both system32 and syswow64 directories. I removed 3DMark06 and reinstalled from my Crosshair

New SLi Comparison

2008-06-15T21:43:00.003-04:00

I picked up another card to do SLi this weekend. I wanted more, I wanted 2560x1600. I priced out what it would cost me to get a 9800GX2 including the trade-in from EVGA and it was going to be like $350+, so I instead spent $170 for another 8800 GTS - which were getting scarce so I moved on it. I tested using 3D Mark Vantage (for VISTA) as my existing 3D Mark 2006 is not working in VISTAx64

Learn How to Create Web Applications in Visual Studio 9 - Virtual Lab!

2008-06-08T08:48:00.003-04:00

I found a virtual lab for Visual Studio 9. This particular one is for building web applications, but if you're interested in teaching yourself you can get your start with the virtual labs and then even download Microsoft Visual Studio Express for free!

Gas-ma-geddon

2008-06-05T22:01:00.004-04:00

I just paid $4.19 for Super using CASH. I could have paid $4.39 if I used credit. Separate cash and credit prices?? Way to go back to <1984. I was amazed, I guess they just started this tdoay and it's just weird. I understand saving $2 for 10 gallons (in my particular case) but that could ammount to 5 to 10 dollars for SUV owners, and even more for truckers. I listen to Bubba the Love

First Look at FarCry2

2008-06-01T09:24:00.003-04:00

If you thought Crysis was cool: Video: First look at FarCry2 They did it even better with FarCry 2, without aliens. Top 100 Best Tech Products - top 10 are right on... minus a few (like Facebook, XP?!!). I had never heard of the SD card that turns your camera into a wifi device.

Interestings

2008-05-08T17:45:00.004-04:00

So I'm working from home today, collected a few tidbits durring my hours upon hours of meetings: There is still no concrete info on the Wii pole dance game EA PR is spinning, Tech is confirming they suck Ever wonder if your local sewage treatment is up to snuff? Holyoke's isn't. Kind of a dramatic image of an old Iraqi woman not quite the caliber of the Afghanistan girl from Time, but still

Hulu

2008-05-08T07:18:00.002-04:00

Miss the Simpsons? how about the Family Guy? They're all here on Hulu for free... with like 1 commercial if you don't skip around a lot.

2 Weeks of Josh

2008-05-04T08:37:00.003-04:00

After a long time of being unable to find a chance to hang with anyone the past 2 weeks have been great. I think I can finally hunker down and maybe do some work. After seeing what Justin has been able to do with his free time, I'm inspired. It started two weeks ago when I was able to finally get together with Josh & Katie, of course Nicole had a previous engagement she realized after we made

GTAIV (GTA 4) for PS3 Not Using 1080p

2008-04-29T09:32:00.003-04:00

I picked up GTA IV this morning, and by some odd cooincidence also had today off. I popped it in, it did a file copy to the HD (about 5 to 10 minutes) which is like 3+ Gig. I got in it and it looked blurry... I checked the box, 720p, 1080i, 1080p... and then I checked the TV - 720p. There were no settings in the game (guess I'm too used to PC games) so I went out to the main PS3 menu. There

Raflemaffle

2008-04-08T20:28:00.004-04:00

Graff. I'm finally back online. let me just start with the fact that Virtual Machine 2007 started this... wait... maybe MixMan DM2 started this... yeah... I've recently gotten a bit of DJ gear. Nothing special, a turntable, then a mixer with the phono on one side and MP3 player or MiniDisk player on the other, followed by a SB Audigy FAT4L1TY. I'm really craving a way to have samples within

Cicada Ramada

2008-03-06T19:58:00.003-05:00

I was practicing some scratching this evening - have a listen... Cicada Ramada (50% VBR 10mb) Cicada Ramada (320k Constant 25mb) (a la roach motel) I cut it up a bit... I'm thinking my hard drive needs a defrag because right as I was hitting it up style the recording goes all wanky. In any case most of it was still good so I got creative with what I had.

now for a bit of lighter fare: 10 Futuristic Computer Designs - some make use of connectivity, but the impressive stuff makes use of flexible organic displays. 10 unusual places to stay on vacation - includes a giant dog, underwater, and cave dwellings.

"a slogan among New Yorkers"

2008-03-02T09:07:00.005-05:00

The USS NY was christened yesterday and I saw an article on MSN about it that angered me. So matter of factly they state that the bow hull is made from scrap steel that was salvaged from the World Trade Center and what's emblazoned where. It was the statement about: "Never Forget" - which is "a slogan among New Yorkers" that really flustered me. Among New Yorkers?!! They were attacking AMERICA,

BitComet

2008-03-01T11:02:00.002-05:00

It's been a long time since I needed to download something I couldn't find on a web page, and I guess that's why I've stayed away from Torrents. I am digging through my pile of older games now and after trying Gothic 3 again (yes, it did the same stuttering crap - guess it's not compatible with the 7950GX2) I tried Aliens VS Predator 2. I had the CD along with the insert that has the serial key.

GTA IV

My Song

2008-02-12T22:39:00.003-05:00

So I was forwarded this little utility for finding random music. I'm still not sure of the full story behind it but I've tried typing in many a random song name and it found something. I'm not sure if it's similar to what I searched for but it's rather difficult to not have something come up. Hint: Try Song Name - Goose, no Author Also - I am posting this because I got it to turn out remotely

Hillary is Tracy Flick

Did you know that Hillary is Tracy Flick?

Playing with VISTA dictation

2008-02-09T15:22:00.000-05:00

Some random stuff for today. I was trying to use the VISTA dictation but it's very difficult. It types when you want to select something on the screen and it selects something on the screen when you want to type. It always seems to assume the opposite of what I actually want to do. A creepy message to Scientology ~ where do I sign up? Newsweek article about it.

Clarissa Explains It All - Drinking Game

2008-02-06T20:44:00.000-05:00

Nicole and I couldn't find a Clarissa Explains It All drinking game so we made up our own: Keep in Mind: ~ Both the DVD and the real show (should you see it somewhere with commercials) still have commercial bumpers. ~ you shouldn't try level 2 unless a) you're only watching 1 episode b) you're so super hard core, there's no need to pull punches c) glrealjrlj .... get nakked! blrgl.. *

Video: Ferguson From "Clarissa Explains It All"

2008-02-06T20:38:00.000-05:00

I got Clarissa Explains It All S1D1 in the main today from Netflix and we were wondering what happened to Jason Zimbler... after finding nothing I discovered the following cameo in a recent music video: Video: The XYZ Affair - All My Friends ...look for all your favorite red-headed actors such as the guys from "Pete & Pete", "Salute Your Shorts", and "Clarissa Explains it All".
