My computer at home for some reason has major issues with DVD Studio Pro and Compressor right now. Since I was putting together my DVD reel I ended up using remote desktop to my old work computer (first informing my friend who still works there of course), uploading files to my FTP, downloading them to [...]
With the exception of receiving no raises in the last two years I made it through this economic downturn relatively unscathed. That is until now. As of Friday last week I am no longer amongst the gainfully employed. The good news is that I’m very happy about this! For various reasons it’s been a very [...]
I have a friend who I think has some nerd shame which is the reason he’s trying to find someone interested in non-nerd stuff (and pretending to not be a nerd) because that would be “cooler.” Myself and his other friends are of the opinion that this is something you do when you’re in high [...]
So did you figure out what the problem is yet? If you did then you’re better at deciphering my mom’s computer terminology than I am. Turns out my mom had made her Firefox Google search field really large and as a result shrunk her location bar down until it was very tiny. Her location bar [...]
#6003 reason the internet will make me seem old is remembering the beginnings of streaming video. Back when the choices were janky Realplayer and Windows Media which I couldn’t use because there wasn’t a Mac version for the longest time.

But it basically went off without [...]
I was looking for reviews for the phone I’m getting and found this treasure trove of reviews by people who are simply excited for the phone. This is a new category of useless reviews on the internet. The first one that irritated me were the rollover ones on amazon.com.
When a new DVD being released soon [...]
Yesterday I spent a bunch of time on Youropenbook.org which lets you search facebook statuses of people along with their profile picture, and in most cases you can view their profile pages. The page has its most frequent searches built in so if you just go to the site there’ll be some sort of search [...]
Last week we got our blood test results back from our physical checkups. I haven’t had a checkup in several years, but I think I’m in good health. Still there was always this nagging paranoia in the back of my head that maybe even though I’m at a normal weight and feel like I eat [...]
I’ve been working on a project that requires me to rename a lot of files, but since it’s not like I”m working on a document there’s no Apple-S at the end to give me that deep sense of security and satisfaction. It’s kind of weird, the act of saving is almost like a refreshing drink [...]
