Radiohead In Rainbows

If a band can sell their album online and keep the label’s out of it then I fully support that. I just bought a copy of this album out of principle. I paid 3.45 pounds for it ~$8. I think that is what an album is worth. I will update this [...]

Apple OS X 10.5 Leopard Leaks, Hackintosh Community Close Behind

What is believed to be the Leopard Gold Master version 581 disc has leaked onto the web days ahead of the scheduled release of Leopard.  Hopefully the leak will not cut substantially into Apple’s sales as it is now only hours from launch time and many hardcore OS X users prepaid for their copies of [...]

OS X Leopard Drops in 2 Days

OS X Leopard will be coming out in two days. After reviewing Ubuntu 7.10, I plan on doing a review of Leopard some time in the next week when I get my hands on a copy.
If you’re curious about Leopard, Apple just put up a great video on their site which talks about it’s [...]

Reliable Source: Adam Drury has gone missing/killed

Please digg this up so we can help find Adam Drury. If we all look, then we might find his body for a proper burial. It is quite possible that he succumbed to Cholera after he bartered his last three sets of clothing to an Indian at a river crossing. Please [...]

Ubuntu 7.10 Delivers

Edit: Here are some pics of my desktop.  The left one shows the transparencies in the window borders and the simple and efficient layout.  Every panel is customizeable so I made mine similar to Vista.  The right picture shows Ubuntu’s ability to run two desktops side-by-side.  Most of the time you see this in videos [...]

Magnets, pins, and tradition: Patriotism is not a symbol, it’s an action

I recently heard that Obama had stopped wearing the American Flag pin which senators wear.  I thought that was kind of strange, so I decided to do some investigation to find out why.  You can read the story here at Fox news:

What a refreshing perspective this is.  Listen to what I have to say, not [...]

7th Guest Lives On

When I was 9 and cd-roms were fairly new, a game came out called “The 7th Guest“. You may have played it. It was very common at the time as a showcase of cd-rom’s ability to use crude video (remember that thing called sega cd?). At any rate, a few years [...]

Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon

I am actually excited about the new Ubuntu release.  I’ve used the beta and it looks pretty good.  I am looking forward to built-in NTFS support (read and write to Windows drives).  Also, Compiz fuzion (A windows manager that combines Compiz and Beryl) will be standard.  If you want to check it out, no strings attached, [...]

EMU: Everyday Misdemeanors Unnoticed

I never realized how bad the crime was in Ypsi. I used to read the blotter all the time for amusement, but the truth is that EMU is one shady place. When you read the Echo blotter, it’s like you’re warped into this world of fanciful stories. It’s hard to believe all [...]
