A wireless optical notebook mouse. Because on the laptop, the clitmouse is annoying, and the mouse with ball was also annoying, and it was only $30 so whatever ( Read more... )

1) Last night I replaced my wired router with a hybrid wired/wireless router (the D-Link WBR-(numbers), if you care ( Read more... )

I've fallen in love with this word. I didn't make it up, although if you've never heard it and know me, you will think I have, because I love yelling cow noises. Nonetheless.The word is "Mu", pronounced like an onomatopoeic (a word I really don't know how to spell) cow noise. It means, for those who don't care for the wikipedia entry linked ( Read more... )

As I believe I mentioed a few days ago, I ordered a laptop. Because I wanted to compute in the A/C.

Dante and I saw X III Saturday night. I am here to tell you - DO NOT SEE IT. Well, I should go into a bit more detail. It has a few beautiful moments, and a lot of mediocre moments, and it shits all over the mythos and traditions of X Men. So if you have no affection whatsoever for the stories already written, or the characters included, then go ( Read more... )
