I swore I had something relevant to blog, but I can’t remember what for the life of me. Nothing interesting going on personally, and since I have a week off, I doubt anything worthwhile will come up. What the hell did I want to blog about?

This isn’t my lightbulb, it’s my boyfriend’s.
Last night he confronted me with the truth. Bottom line: he’s been treating me like shit for the past six months because it was his way of staying on top in the relationship (side note: he didn’t want to feel vunerable like he did in his last relationship). [...]

I’ve recently been feeling out-of-sorts, like I’m not completely happy with my situation. And for some reason, I’ve been thinking a lot about Morgan, but that could have started when I listened to Usher’s CD two weeks ago. I remember Morgan telling me that he was always happy with what he had but [...]

My boyfriend gave me this book about…5 months ago, and I just finished it this past weekend. I’m not a slow reader, I just found the book slow to read. In his book The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell explains his theory on how information and trends spread like viruses. He introduces three key players [...]

We’ve been getting quite a bit of thunderstorms lately, and it was too bad that it pretty much rained this entire weekend. My boyfriend and I did finally decide to venture out Sunday night to watch Click, and wouldn’t you know it, it was POURING after the movie. Well, we had planned on [...]

Customer: I don’t have a ‘7′ key.
Support: It’s between the ‘6′ and ‘8′ key.
Customer: I don’t have a ‘7′ key.
Support: Do you see the ‘1′ key?
Customer: Yes.

Customer: ‘3′, ‘4′, ‘5′, ‘6′
Support: What’s the next key?
Customer: ‘8′
Support: It should be to the left of the ‘8′
Customer: [...]

I had a little trouble embedding this video.

The instructions say to extrapolate the long URL from Google Video’s “Put on site”…which doesn’t exist anymore.

It’s now called the “Embed HTML” feature under the “Share this video” button, and the URL is not nearly as long anymore (which confused the hell out of me). So I [...]

I woke up again last night at 11PM because it was unbearably warm in the bedroom. As I was trying to gain conciousness, I noticed a bright light flashing outside my window. At first I thought it was the light emanating from my phone, but then I remembered that my phone wasn’t on [...]

I’m a little skepitcal about the Wii-mote. Nintendo die-hard fans swear by it, saying it’s better than the traditional controller because it provides better precision and is easier to use. I don’t quite agree, because precision (especially in FPS) depends not on the type of controller, but the user. I know gamers who are [...]

From Neowin:
In light of recent security concerns and a lawsuit, the popular social networking site, MySpace, announced it would be increasing it’s efforts to protect younger users. While MySpace already prevents children under the age of 14 from signing up, there has been a lot of pressure for them to do more in keeping predators [...]
