Somewhere between both jobs and slowly packing I found time to buy the ASUS WL-330gE. I plan to use it as a replacement for my Encore ENRXWI-G which broke on me a few weeks back. Actually I couldn't reconfigure nor reset it to work with my 360, so I tossed it across the room and that was the end of that. For a while the product had been ( Read more... )

The last week or so has really gone by quickly. Actually it's felt more like a blur of double shifts, chores, (some) video games, and problems with the phone service (thanks to the DSL). I suppose I'll start with the highlights from the last week or so ( Read more... )

Other than a brief intermission with a friend coming over to chat for a bit, setting up the DSL and the router was an extremely quick and easy process. The wireless connections all work fine, and the internet seems fast enough. I did a speed test, and my connection is several times slower.

I joined in the Firefox 3 Download Day yesterday. Considering how slow Firefox 2 ran on my system I wasn't sure that I would like 3.0. I then read an article at Wired.com where Firefox had been tested and many of the problems of previous browser had been fixed, including memory leaks. That sealed the deal for me and I downloaded the browser with ( Read more... )

Thanks to a link from geofflb I spent the entire day reading Malstrom's Articles, a site dedicated to discussing the Nintendo business model. All of the articles that I've read thus far were pretty interesting and informative, even if I didn't agree with all of Sean Malstrom's points. The articles that analyze why the Nintendo Wii is so popular and why ( Read more... )

A few days ago giza left a fantastic comment in my journal that got me thinking about LOLcats. I'm not a huge fan of LOLcats or their captions, but I do enjoy reading an amusing one from time to time. To be honest Giza suggested that one of the pictures in my "vacation" entry deserved a caption. So I'm going to swipe his idea where he has people ( Read more... )

Time sure does fly. With my spring break just about over I have a weekend filled with homework. Luckily I've already started on it. I expect that Flash slide show to be done by Sunday if I give it everything I have. I plan on spending tomorrow working on it, and taking the last picture I need on Sunday, which involves a trip back to the church down ( Read more... )

I can't believe that I found it after so many years! This was one of the funniest things I've seen on TV, and even after eight or nine years, I still remember it:

Sun Fizz, aka a Sprite commercial.

Whenever I ask people about this commercial they've never heard of it or seen it. Did any of you see this when it aired in the late 90s?
