On Our Way
We're on our way to the Maker faire in San Fransisco. We have set up a roving wireless network through my phone and using my computer as an access point. That way we can get Internet on the way out (as well as anyone else who is driving near us). So I'm in the middle of Nevada and I'm still connected. Holla ( Read more... ) -
Maker Faire
We leave in the morning for the maker faire. We actually still have quite a bit of work to do, but meh - we'll do it on the 13 hour drive out to San Fransisco. We will be sleeping in Jake's truck. So, you know, if anyone in SF area has some floorspace available - let me know. :) -
Plagiarised!
I was about to submit one of the stories I wrote on DIY happy to digg.com and I noticed a duplicate submission. I thought - "Oh cool, someone has already submitted my story!"

New Macbook
I got a new macbook yesterday - traded in the old one. It doesn't have any of the problems I mentioned a few posts ago, and it also doesn't have any dents in it from being dropped (yet?). I will be more careful with this, my second chance at life.
I'm going to my aunt's for Easter. -

Sam now weighs in at under 200 lbs. And I did it all without the help of exercise. -
Problems with my Macbook
Problems with my macbook (and why it's being returned for a newer one):
- Make high pitched noises when there's no processor load
- Screen brightness changes by itself sometimes
- Gets incredibly hot (like, I cooked an egg on it today)
- The sound clicks and pops (sometimes even when no audio is being played)
- Tonight it started "mooing" like a cow.
