Blog Notes 11/28/2005

>> We got a dusting of snow this evening, combined with a touch of ice. I found out tonight that the way to the apartment is pretty much all uphill. Hills + Cougar x Snow = No Bueno. Meanwhile DB is probably living it up with 80 degree weather, and bikini babes on each arm. I guess I should be thankful that I don’t live in the middle of the state, where they received a big-assed blizzard.

>> Friday night I went to Best Buy to see if RAM sticks for my laptop were on sale. A few weeks ago when I checked they had them for around $75 apiece. Friday night, the same stick, a Kingston PC27000 512 mb stick, was $199. That’s nearly three times as much as what it was selling for. I was blown away. I went back tonight, (looking for something else) and saw, again the same Kingston stick, for fifty dollars. I snagged it up for the iBook. Makes you wonder how many people got screwed on Friday. When I got home I installed it. Everything is definitely nice and snappy, now that I’m running at 640 mb. Now I just gotta figure out what to do with the 256 mb stick I pulled out.

>> As seen in the Miniblog (over on the right, scroll down a little, below the Moblog. I love the nifty things I can do with K2 in Wordpress), The I Love My Mac song is a song dedicated to how much this girl loves her Mac. Of course, it was made in Garage Band. Granted, the song kinda sucks, as does everything else she’s made. It all suffers from MIDI quality music, and karaoke quality vocals. But still, she loves her Mac.

>> Fox is cancelling Arrested Development. For those who haven’t seen it, it’s the best show on tv right now. It was almost cancelled after the first season, despite winning 5 Emmy awards, and at the end of the second season, it was unsure until mid-summer whether or not it would be returning for a third season. It did, albeit moved to Monday night. Apparently the move didn’t garner it much ratings. Perhaps because the move was stupid. The kind of people who watch the show are the same kind that watch The Simpsons and Family Guy. Instead, at 8:30 we get The War at Home, a show which many people switch away from for half an hour after the Simpsons and until Family Guy comes on. I would not be surprised if they moved it to Monday night with the intention to kill the show, so they can use the poor ratings as an excuse. Who knows though, maybe it will be saved again. The remaining unaired episodes that have been produced will begin showing up in December.

>> The other day at work, I won a pie-eating contest. I had to eat a regulation sized slice of pumpkin pie, including crust (I hate the crust) in less than the previous champion’s time of 54 seconds. I did it in 30 seconds exact. I rock. Kyle came in second place at 48 seconds, and Katie in third with her 54.

>> There’s some more links in The Family block on the right. I’ve set up the podcasting site anew, as well as the forums, a whole new gallery (for my non-moblog pictures), a wiki that I’m not sure what I’m going to do with yet, and a calender using a nifty tool that imports from my iCal settings. Now you can see what I’m doing when I’m not around.
