I've been slowly but surely ripping my music collection onto my computers over the past few months, ever since buying an mp3 player that can handle such a load. For some reason, I encountered an mp3 that wouldn't open in Windows Media Player and thought, what the heck, I always meant to download Winamp again, so I looked it up for the first time in ( Read more... )

I guess this is the point where I acknowledge Script Frenzy is a no-go this year. I've been exhausted even with full nights of sleep and my homework is difficult in a different way than usual. Usually it's just hard to get the work done. Now I have to go to campus to borrow PhotoShop in the computer labs, or try to figure out what a disorganized ( Read more... )

LiveJournal? Enough of the full-page video ads! I do not watch them, I just shriek and hit whatever it takes to get away from them, including the little X button in the upper right corner of Firefox. Seriously, talking ads + blocking me from even browsing the website until the ad is finished = refusal to use said website. Don't make me abandon you ( Read more... )

I should think it's fairly obvious by now that I have a weakness for small, shiny electronics. The netbook, the PSP... Though I loathe phones in general, I even enjoy the thought of a really shiny phone. (Mine is only sorta shiny, because I really, really, really did not want a phone with buttons on the outside of the flip, but those don't seem to ( Read more... )

I got a Playstation Portable for Christmas. I am adoring it.

I find it a little obnoxious how much needs bought for it -- memory card, battery upgrade, USB cable -- but I think that's a given for most gaming systems right now. I'm just not used to this from handhelds. That said, I think this system is hands down better than the DS and I've only ( Read more... )

Domestic PSP 3000 is $170-ish. Domestic PSPgo is $250-ish. Japanese import of a "vibrant blue" PSP 3000 is $220-ish.

Oh, come oooon, why does it have to be in my price range? If it was more expensive than the Go, it would be so easy to shrug off, but it's not! It's blue and less than the Go and not that much more than a domestic console. It's ( Read more... )

Canned air ftw! My laptop was overheating last night, so after I turned it off (and let it cool a bit) I got out a screwdriver that failed to open the back on account of the screws being too tiny. Then I blasted canned air into the vents anyway, because why not? Also blasted the keyboard, which had too much gunk in it lately. Couldn't see that it ( Read more... )

Is this love at first sight? No... just a really cute computer. Alas ( Read more... )

eBay is all kinds of weird. I've been using it since I was eleven, so I know a few things about when the best time to bid is and how to tell whether something's a good deal or not, but this is just strange. I'm looking into getting an iPod Nano -- maybe, provided I can find a good deal, otherwise I'll get another brand of mp3 player that's got the ( Read more... )

I cannot breathe through my nose. It is a very unpleasant feeling. It took me a little while to realize why eating was suddenly such an unpleasant experience, as I couldn't breathe while chewing. I've had to cancel multiple plans with friends because I'm just too tired from the constantly changing cold symptoms -- from sore throat, to coughing, to ( Read more... )
