More Memory

2006-09-23T01:37:15Z

Just installed more memory on the MacBook. It's up to 2GB now. I wouldn't have picked 2GB, but I didn't want to upgrade to 1GB only to have to upgrade again. With the 2 SODIMM slots, that would mean throwing away perfectly good memory. Besides, 2GB wasn't that expensive.

FrontRow

2006-07-23T17:52:09Z

So, I have to say that I really think FrontRow is great. For those of you who don't know, FrontRow is the media app made by Apple that ships free with new Macs. One of the great features of FrontRow is that it works with shared media. All of the media can be stored on a server on you can stream the content to FrontRow. I definitely agree with Hoopes that there should be some sort of TiVo capability built into a mini. I would definitely buy one to hook up to my TV.

For those of you who didn't know, the keyboard shortcut for FrontRow is Cmd-Esc. (Some of us don't want to travel with the remote)

You really are the best man

World Cup 2006

2006-06-09T18:51:34Z

The World Cup 2006 is officially underway. Germany defeated Costa Rica 4-2. It was a great game, even if the German defense didn't play well. The offsides trap isn't the answer to everything.

The goal by Torsten Frings was amazing.

Seriously!?

Who asks for half a glass of soda? Why can't you just ask for a refill? Does the wait staff really need to worry about whether it's half, two thirds or three quarters?

This concludes the Rant du Jour. What is the Rant du Jour you ask? Why, it's the rant of the day!

Catching up with an old friend

2006-05-08T02:35:54Z

I know that I should keep in touch with old friends better than I do. Tonight, I called Ryan, one of my college friends and caught up. Somewhat random, but totally worth doing. You know people are worth talking to when they recognize your voice -- after not talking in months. Now, time to play the game of remember the time when Ryan...

Hosting Hiccup

Sorry about the brief outage. I had some web hosting issues that have now been resolved. Hopefully, it won't happen again any time soon.

What's this? Another photo?

2006-04-08T17:44:32Z

Yes, yes, I know. I do like taking photos of flowers. Here's another shot that I think came out well.

I think someone mentioned that pink and green didn't pair well. Looking at these flowers, that doesn't seem to be the case.

It's not Christmas anymore

I know it's not Christmas anymore, but the cactus is still blooming. I thought this shot was interesting. Enjoy!

Wait, I thought you said you were just thinking about blogging

2006-04-04T03:32:05Z

I know it has been a long time since I blogged last. It's not that my interest in blogging in waning.

I think this photo summarizes how things have been going for me. Everything is coming a bit too fast to process while my life is about to take slight curve.

As always, I will try to write more, but we'll see what happens!

Update: No, the blur doesn't symbolize a drunken stupor!

Halloween Pumpkin Carving

2005-10-30T18:36:29Z

We had a great time carving pumpkins last night. Here's one quick shot of the group!

I'm having some problems with the cropping of this photo. Hopefully, I will be able to get this fixed soon.

Update:
The cropping issue has been resolved. 8p

Fall is Over

2005-10-29T13:04:32Z

I guess fall is really over. I guess that I should start getting ready for winter, but I can't help but look at this photo from Labor Day weekend and wish that the weather could have stayed like that.
