Palm Z22 - Don't Hate!

Ok, so I went to Burning Man a few weeks ago, and re-discovered the value of carrying a notepad around with me. With the chaos that inhibits my memory, it helps if I'm able to write things down as I think of them. Once back in the real world, it hit me that a geek like myself wouldn't carry a notepad, how antiquated. Instead I bought a PIM (Personal Information Manager), more specifically, the Palm Z22. It's small, only cost about $100, and doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles. There isn't any Wi-Fi, MP3 Player, Camera, or slots for additional memory. What it does do is hold notes, phone numbers, pictures, and the like. It does everything you'd expect it to, and is way cooler than a notepad. :)

Once Again..

.. My three month ADD kicks in, and my attention comes back to my poor neglected blog. I'll attempt to catch up on here. As this seems to be my only blog that I consistently updated, for a time. :)

Usher loves AIM

Ok, I finally figured it out. AIM kept playing an ad that would randomly play a clip from an Usher song. Took me about 2 months to figure out which program it was. How annoying, no? Just imagine, trying to sleep, and you hear Lil' John bust out with a half second "Yeah!". Gah!

So anyway, I disabled the ads on AIM, shouldn't be any more trouble. :)

** Update **
Apparently in AIM, you can assign your own sound, that plays on others computers when you log in. THAT was the problem. I blame Peaches. :)

Problem solved permanently though. I'm using Miranda.

Buy the Force.

Craptop - Acer Aspire 3680

Ok, so I decided that I really enjoy having a laptop when going to school. My recently deceased Sony VIAO did this cool magic trick of 'not working', so I decided to pick up another laptop. Needless to say, ALL I'll be doing with it is surfing the net, and writing papers; MAYBE listening to music. Through Dealnews.com I found the absolute most inexpensive laptop available. Turns out it's the Acer Aspire 3680, from Best Buy. Grand total after tax was roughly $486. Not bad for a new operating system, 80gig HD, 512 RAM, WiFi, and a Celeron M 520. I haven't road tested it yet, but we'll assume the battery sucks. And I'll obviously need to adjust to using Vista. Overall, though, a good deal.

Cheree's 21st Birthday

Not a lot to say here. Plenty of drinking. Good times. Happy Birthday Cheree!

Tickets!

Oh yeah, who's got suite tickets tonight. This guy, that's who. Suns vs Lakers. Should be good. :)
