My girlfriend has started selling and buying stuff on a Facebook "Buy Sell Trade" group. There were a few people that talked her down on a few things, but thankfully it wasn't too much. Buying stuff in that fashion isn't bad either. If you are in college and you need a book, you are better off buying used from a…

I gotta go with Chrome here. I used to really like Firefox back in the day, but it was always slow. I loved how customizable it was with its addons, but after loading it up, once I restarted the browser, it would take a good 30 seconds to start the browser up. These are load times that rival programs like Adobe…

I like to work out while listening to music. It gives me something else to focus on. I will often focus on the rhythm of the song and time my breathing to coincide with it. It's like meditating. At least it's more so like meditating than what the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles did in their first feature length movie.

Perhaps even more lucrative and even more evil than getting into Congress is to get into congressional lobbying. Why be the dummy when you can be the guy pulling strings? With politicians, you have to deal with elections and the general public. Congress gets the bad rap and individual members of Congress get voted…

That would be awesome. I'm using CM right now, actually. I'm really looking forward to better battery life :-P. I can kill my phone quite quickly. Considering how popular the gnex has been, I wouldn't be surprised that much if Google did release it for gnex.

I remember another reason I didn't switch from WEP right away was that I had a Nintendo DS. The original Nintendo DS didn't support WPA and if I wanted to use it to connect to The Internet, I would need to either be completely open or use WEP. And no, the original DS did not have the capabilities to flash to a newer…

For that matter, you can open a Master lock with a beverage can, a pair of scissors, and a pair of pliers. I personally haven't tried it yet, but I have seen videos on YouTube of people doing just this. I have also seen how it works. Master has updated the design of their locks to make this more difficult to do,…

Wedding Crashers, anyone?

I heard that they were rolling out a newly designed $100 bill. Apparently there were more changes than I realized. One of the changes is swapping out Franklin for Franken (not Al).

First off. I find it amusing that in the URL it cuts off the T in diet so it says "...help stick to a die". This amused me. Anyway, my girlfriend and I switched to eating vegan a few months back and occasionally, we have BAD influences on one another. She might say "forget it... I'm eating this with cheese." This…

I used to use a blank page for my start page. Then, Google rolled out their iGoogle page. I used it for a few months and it was ok. After a while, I realized I didn't really read the news feed or the quote of the day or play the sudoku that I added to it. Basically, once the novelty wore off, I stopped using it…

Yeah, so I looked around on and there are several articles that say that Google has indeed confirmed that KitKat will not be available for the Galaxy Nexus. I guess it'll be about time for me to upgrade my phone soon. This is too bad. I like my Galaxy Nexus. She has served me well these past couple of years.

I noticed that you mentioned my suggestion that I had before I read this. That is to install Windows on your Mac. However, I would suggest you do as they said and not as they are showing. If you want to optimize your Mac for gaming, or really anything, for the love of all that's holy, DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS VISTA! …

Is this like a Windows version of rsync with a gui? I have used rsync to back stuff up quite a bit. It is also very good in that you can set it up to run periodically and automatically back up your files and keep them up to date. rsync is a very powerful program that can even back up data over ssh or a smb…

I have spent $15 on an app that a colleague of mine recommended. I don't really regret it. On the other hand, I think I spent like $20 or $30 for an anti-virus program that includes a 1 year subscription. Aside from that, I haven't spent more than $4 or $5 on an app. I don't think I would unless it was highly…

If I accidentally close a crapload of tabs, when I open it back up, I go to the Recent Tabs option and look for where it says that I closed like 10 tabs. I click on that and voila, it reopens them.

I suppose it's possible, but I haven't seen any evidence of that. I haven't seen anything about any posts made by "me" that I don't remember posting. My girlfriend didn't tell me about anything that seemed suspicious like signing in and not saying anything to her when she messaged me. And usually, I sort by latest…

Has anyone else noticed that FaceBook seems to have you "like" random crap pages that you know you haven't liked? I know there are some that I have seen that I haven't liked that they show stuff for. I understand that it suggests some pages that it thinks I might be interested in, when in actuality, they are flat…

Uhh, my spare is buried under all of the stuff I have in the trunk of my car. I'm not likely to dig through the trunk of my car to get at the spare tire until it is needed (i.e. when it's too late to check the pressure anyway).

CrashOverride, eh? I see what you did there. Well played.
