I've been using it for like 15 minutes and I'm blown away by how much they streamlined things.  Apps load faster, stacks are gorgeous, icons show previews for all files so its so easy to find shit quickly.  Love the look of new QuickTime but I'll probably never use it cuz I use VLC for the playlists.

What ever happened to a separation of church and state?

Marriage is a culturally and socially relative term.  What right does a government have to enforce it's definition and limitation of marriage on a nation of people with diverse cultural and social backgrounds?  Government should only be concerned with government matters such as taxation, health ( Read more... )

Every year when superbowl comes around this question comes to my mind. Why the fuck do people care about sports? I just don't get it. Why do you care how far someone can thow a ball or how many guys someone can tackle? It's not like those are actually useful skills.

I'm a very competitive person and I love to win but I'm only interested I'm ( Read more... )

Westheimer block party was lots of fun.  Saw some old faces, met some cool new people.  Saw some badass bands.  What more can one hope for in one night?

It was especially awesome to see Adrian as we hadn't hung out in FOREVER.  Also, Adrian and Brandon's new band is amazing.  Can't wait to see more songs from them in the future.

Fucking database class at school has me brainwashed.  I am constantly finding myself thinking of ways to make various databases in use at my office more efficient and sexified.

I think I have reached a point of ultimate nerdiness for which their is no return!

Ugh, my head hurts ( Read more... )

So as hugely inconvenient as Ike has been, I really didn't fare too badly.  We got power back Monday and ever since, I've just been chillin around the house and/or helping out friends and family who needed help cleaning up their house or just needed a place to shower or get a good nights sleep in some AC.

I'm going to Specs in a bit to get some rum and juices to make Hurricanes. I don't even like rum but what the hell, I might as well drink some to appease the Gods of Destruction ( Read more... )

I don't think I've ever been so excited about a game before but Guitar Hero World Tour is supposed to have 3 Tool songs: Parabola, Schism, and Vicarious. And anyone who knows me should know I'm practically obsessed with Tool so yeah I'm hella happy about that. Also worth mentioning, they will have a L'Via L'Viaquez (Mars Volta) and Santeria which ( Read more... )
