First I had to call 911 'cuz my mom couldn't breathe, or walk, then Gonzaga loses to UCLA at the very end of the game. Mom turned out to be ok, she spent most of the day in the emergency room waiting for a doc. If I had to choose a loser, I'd like Gonzaga to lose a game before my mom loses her life. Much rather see Adam Morrison crying than my Dad, Sis, nephew, or nieces.

I don't think this is the same one reviewed by PC Mag. This one features a Geode processor. Anyway, might be a good puter for cheap. 199.99 computer. Some info on the processor. And here's a link to the original Digg post about a cheap PC from Fry's.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose sucks so bad. Read this review, I won't waste the energy to write my own. A true piece of shit movie. Gambutrol, epilepsy, possession, boredom, how about a bar where lawyers hang out called "The Side Bar"? "I'll only take the case if I get to have my name on the door, next to yours..." I hate this movie! It's almost so bad it's funny, but not quite.

I really wanted to fake being sick so I could stay home and watch the first round of the NCAA Basketball Championship. Even found a how-to site with guidelines. Turns out I really am getting sick, and won't be able to get off work even if I wanted to. Well, I've got the TiVo, better schedule some recordings. Kinda pissed that the DirecTV listings aren't at all accurate as to what teams are playing when, the brackets have been out since Sunday...now that I'm adding the games to my todo list, I guess DirecTV has updated their listings.

Almost had a heart attack, drove by a construction site that had a sign stating they were hiring for managers for a SONIC drive-in. I can't wait to drink one of their Fresh Lime drinks. It'll be on Division, near one of the Staples.

My iTunes library is full of podcasts I'm never going to listen to again. How about an automatic removal of a podcast after ... 60 days? Tivo manages file space as needed, you can flag things "keep until I delete", but for the most part they get overwritten. Maybe Apple should think about this issue. I'm too lazy to manually delete files, I want my computer to decide if I want to keep a file or not.

I love me some free on purpose Mp3s! And free on purpose movie trailers. Anyway, the South by Southwest Festival is a fantastic source of neat stuff. My bittorrent will be going for a few days to get the over 3 gigs of Mp3s offered up for free. A link to sxsw stuff.

What was I thinking? If the mini-ITX had firewire I could try to boot from my external DVD burner, alas it does not. Guess the only thing I can do is borrow the DVD drive from my XBOX. Not in the mood to take the XBOX apart right now.

Go ZAGS! WCC Champions yet again!

I'm tired of people saying Macs are too expensive. I really want to buy the new Mac mini. Hook that fucker up to a HDTV... After I do my taxes I'll figure out which one I'll buy first. Leaning towards the mini... Goddamn, I'm so excited about the duo-core Mac Mini!

Do pugs ever stop shedding? Sheesh, hair everywhere. Staying at my folks place for who knows how long and they've got a couple of pugs. I would think that in the cold weather they'd keep as much hair as possible. Maybe when it gets colder.

iPhone glass replacement kit showed up today. The glass in the kit was broken. Shoot.

Dummy at work told me that today. He voted, but didn't vote for president, just local elections. All because of the electoral college system we have, his lame state of Idaho only has 4. He claims that he hates the electoral college system and would rather that the popular vote would prevail. Hey dummy, you didn't vote for president, so yours didn't count period. Obama won the popular vote as well.

The movie still sucks, but it looks a lot better in Blu-Ray. I will say that you can sort of tell the bad guys from the good guys in the higher def version. Viewing the DVD version I couldn't really follow the action, or tell which robot was which. To be honest I was catching up on email and stuff during the heavy CGI scenes. Just wanted to see what's her name in a belly shirt and short skirt in high def.

I've seen that people take credit for my work. Not difficult work, took me 15 minutes or less to do it, squeezed it out before I left on Friday. Emailed the result of my work to the coworker that requested it. Subsequently read an email where that coworker claimed that they created it, they may have edited it, but don't take full credit. Just gives me more reason to hate on folk. This particular coworker couldn't have created it ever. Best to move on if able. Will be with some folk this weekend that might have some options.

It's obvious. Why even debate it? If you look at Kristen Wiig's nose in "Walk Hard" and how it looks on the most recent episodes of SNL, it's clear that she had a nose job. I personally think she looks better.

WTF does "opposed defending marriage" mean? Does that mean he or she thinks homos should be able to get married? Fucking christians need to learn that America isn't a theocracy yet. Are there any non-religious congresspersons or senators?

I just bought a new glass screen and tools to replace it off eBay. Shit is coming from Hong Kong. Why do they call it 2G? That 2G stuff confuses me. Anyway, even if it's the wrong size it was only around 14 bucks. Isn't the 3G iPhone the second generation? They claim it fits a 4 gig iPhone, so that would be a first generation iPhone.

A local company can replace the busted glass screen on my iPhone for "... $65 (parts), $10.88 Shipping, and $35 labor...", so hmm, math, let's see 110.88. Cheaper than sending it back to Apple. Too bad I don't have some other phone lying around I could put the sim card into during the repair time. They say 5-10 days turnaround. Would they need to have my iPhone the whole time? Need to find out what it would cost to get out of my ATT contract. Then go T-Mobile and G1, depending on what it costs to dump ATT. Although, I'm liking an App on the iPhone called GasHog that helps you track how many miles per gallon you get, and what the fuel costs per mile.

That G1 looks goofy, has no standard headphone jack, doesn't play video, not truly open thanks to T-Mobile, has a 2 year contract like ATT.

Fuck it, I'm stuck. Maybe I'll get the 3G iPhone instead and sell the busted one to help offset the cost. I'll have to make sure to take blurry pictures of it.

It was very easy to setup the first 3 times. Why 3 times? Well, I'm trying to use Boxee on it and that requires some work, not really, but I tried it over again when samba wasn't working. Still need some work to get samba shares to load. All the iTunes stuff works great, I can stream any media in my iTunes library fine, movies I've bought, podcasts, music I've bought. What I really want is samba shares to work. That will involve some ssh and ftp work. NitoTV may be the answer. Not a novice to ssh or ftp so I'm not scared about it, just too late in the day to tackle it tonight.

BTW: Never knew I could boot from a USB card reader.

BTW 2: The 2.2 Apple TV update included 1080p.
