What's an intel chip doing in a mac?

2006-01-16T04:37:00.000-05:00

Okay, we've all heard the line... a whole lot more than its ever done in a PC. Last week Apple [<3] pulled an unexpected move and threw some intel chips into the iMac and the new macbook, but what does this mean? Apparently these new computers are around five times faster than the previous ones with powerpc chips, but what kind of drm is on these chips, thats what I'm waiting to find out.I really

Futurama to Return.

2005-12-21T16:15:00.000-05:00

Futurama is going to be making a Family Guy-esk return to television.... Which has been a long time coming, in my opinion. This is such a good show, I can't believe it took so long to come back. I am so happy about this news.Link.

Counting Change.

2005-12-11T01:13:00.000-05:00

So over the past month I started working in the store as a cashier at my job at a gas station-call it a promotion from full surve-but I have realized a few things. The main thing I realized is that pennies have no monetary value. If you pump $19.97 or $20.03 worth of gas either way you are going to hand me a $20, and neither of us are going to ask for change.So my suggestion? Drop the penny, and

Bite the Bullet.

2005-12-02T12:46:00.000-05:00

As we progress in this world it has become clear that there are two sides, the DRM people, and the anti-DRM people... unfortunately the drm people are the people making the products I use all the time, and the anti-DRM people are the consumers like myself. This means that soon enough everything will include DRM, so we are all going to have to bite the bullet and find ways around it.

Quest for the Perfect Idea...

2005-11-21T03:16:00.000-05:00

So for a couple of years now I have wanted to write a cartoon tv show, but I am stumbling with the idea for the show. I wrote a pilot [I guess you could call it that] of a cartoon for my grade 12 english class final project and got a really good mark on it about a beverly hillbillies style plot where a redneck white trash family comes into some money and moves from a stereotypical southern united

Apparently Apple reads my blog...

2005-11-18T04:11:00.000-05:00

...or maybe not, but check out this old post I made way back on June 1st of this year about my suggestions for the new iPod. I go on to say "What about the ability to connect your iPod to your TV (or other screen) and play the movies you have saved on it." Wow did I hit the nail on the head with that one, it kinda creeped me out when I went back and read it yesterday.On a similar note I went to

Years of google.

via Digg, Link.The above is a link to a post on a message board where someone put up many of google's logos over the past few years. Check it out and see how many of them you can remember, my personal favourites are the salvador dali and the one of the guy drawing hit own hands.Update: apparently google also has an archive of these logos.

When all the cold pizza is gone...

2005-11-18T01:52:00.000-05:00

Okay, so it's 2:00 am on a saturday night and you're staving... all that's left is those burgers you thought you could eat earlier that week. Ewww, gross, soggy, slimey, disgusting buns on cold meat with gross vegetables and stale fries; I don't want to eat that, but it's all I have. Well if you're in this situation, single guy [or girl] with an empty stomach and similar fridge then you should

The Aristocrats

2005-11-17T21:12:00.000-05:00

So last night I saw one of the funniest things in my young life. Honestly I am not exaggerating, this is the single funniest thing I have ever seen [in the past week, I can't remember anything before that]. There is this movie-The Aristocrats-about this joke that 100 comedians tell in their own way, I am yet to see this but this is the joke as told by cartman of southpark.Link.Warning: WILL

2005-11-16T18:20:00.000-05:00

I would like to apologize to any readers who are not members of blogger.com, I was getting too much comment spam so I had to make it so only registered users can comment. I also had to put in a picture verification box so a computer cannot post comments and it requires an actual person if they wish to spam me.

I heart the Ladies

2005-11-16T18:01:00.000-05:00

Via BoingBoing! [link to article]Some fellow Canadians, the Barenaked Ladies, are planning to do something really cool, which is releasing an album on a 128Mb USB jump drive.They even say the flash drive is an easy way 'to share music, videos, pictures and other data'--not the kind of sentiment you'd hear from most bands.Personally I think this is one of the greatest things a band can do, and at

2005-11-11T18:43:00.000-05:00

Today I was reading my dad's blog and I came across this post about google, and if you would pay for google, such as $5 per month. I don't know about you, but this would be quite a predicament, but in the end I would probably give in and pay for this great service.In my dad's post he links back to another blogger who is trying to give up google for a week, to me this is a seemingly impossible

2005-11-11T18:28:00.000-05:00

Well, I have had my powerbook for around three months now, and I love it. I can't believe it took me so long to switch...I remember a mere 2 years ago when I didn't like Apple, wow, I was so wrong. Remember all those jokes about Apple being the idiot's computer, today I would say that couldn't be further from the truth [and not because I am a biased Apple user]. Even my dad, a PC user since

Well now that i have had my computer for a few days i am trying to do all this cool stuff with it. right now i am trying to connect my phone to my computer via bluetooth.I have had luck connecting the two, but not yet through iSync - and i believe the reason is that my computer thinks my phone is a laptop, and i have no idea why.I heard that it might be in the firmware, but i dont really know how

So I've got this pretty cool idea going, and I have decided to share it with all of you...I've got this music setup going in my bathroom so I can rock out in the shower...this is my setup, I have some old sony computer speakers hooked up to an old cd player, and the reason for this is that I am not limited, like if I used a large boom-box that takes up a lot of space. I can also hook up my iPod

I actually have one of the craziest ideas brewing in my mind right now, it would be the coolest thing if i pulled it off, but it seems a little out of wack...i am not going to let the idea out right now since it seems so implausable right now, but soon i will release some details.on a side note: i am buying a boat, er, car for $300, its huge.

Okay, so i am going to get my liscence soon, and i want to buy a car - an SUV or truck to be exact. DOes anyone have any suggestions? I am a student and therefore have a low budget, like 3000CAD, so does anyone have any suggestions for a large SUV/truck that can go through the tough canadian winters?So far i have been looking at some old stuff including a 93 suburban, a 90 range rover, an 88 ford

Ok, so i haven't checked if this exists yet or not, but i have a cool suggestion for the new iPod.What about the ability to connect your iPod to your TV (or other screen) and play the movies you have saved on it.this means that it would have to be large enough to store multiple dvd's, or the compression must be incredible.i dont know how exactly this would work, but i assume it would have to be a

Okay, I dont know how many of you watch the simpsons, but there have to be a few people out there who have seen every episode.If you have seen most episodes then you must have seen the one where homer gets a website and calls himself Mr. X. Tell me what you think, but I think that his website was a blog. Just the way he set it up and kept updating like that seems like a blog.Furthermore, they

If flickr was a person i would... well lets not get into that, but lets just say that it would be happy afterwards.

So there is this thing called Internet2 (I am sure most of you have already heard about it) that is so much faster than our current internet, but it seems as id the RIAA wants to stop that. Due to the fact that this super-high-speed internet is much better for P2P the RIAA doesn’t like it.It seems to me that they are stopping technology from proceeding (I have had many a conversation with my

Recently I got some new Mozilla Firefox extensions, so I will take a bit of time to talk about how good they are.The first one is TabbedBrowser, it doesn’t do a lot, just enhances the tabbing feature in firefox (which is one of the best features I have ever seen). It adds a new tab and close tab button, and has settings so you can have it open links from another program in the same tab or in a

This is a definite must read, as I said it is one of the best personal blogs I have

Cool Advertising.

2005-04-05T01:28:00.000-04:00

This commercial is intense, something along the lines of the writers taking acid then thinking this idea up, it is friggin incredible! Even the music that is synchronized with is suits it perfectly. You can view the commercial here. (but when you click the link you have to go 'enter website' then scroll

Why can no company make a product worth buying? I mean, there are a lot of cool things out there [mainly my iPod, which is possibly the best thing ever] but even that has minor flaws [it scratches too easily, but that can be covered by the use of a case]. I work under the theory that no company makes a product good enough for me—that way I will never get let down by them—and by good enough I mean

Every time he screws up a line I think to myself, if it were Jon Stewart saying the lines it would be so funny, so now is when I suggest to the producers of AFV to fire that other guy and hire Jon Stewart, he would

I also have about 7 filesharing programs that I use, and when I go to school I get an incredible download rate. Currently I suggest Ares and Bitlord as the best d/l'ing programs, Ares is like Kazaa, P2P

Praise to Television, again. Sorta.

2005-02-09T01:29:00.000-05:00

So, its about 12:30, and I have been watching TV since about 8:00, and I have to say, it was a good TV night. It went from a new That 70's Show, to a repeat of That 70's Show, followed by a new Scrubs, then a new Committed, and then there was a small pause where a repeat of Seinfeld was viewed. But that low (I say low because it was a repeat, not because Seinfeld is bad, that is untrue, Seinfeld

Annoying Censorship

2005-01-29T09:10:00.000-05:00

I don't see why all the music channels feel the need to censor half of a rap song, there is no point to censoring a synonym to a drug or gun. I just watched a video by The Game called How We Do and there is about 150 words blanked out that are by no means swearing, ie purple haze, rocks... can't remember much more, but about 95% of the words that were censored are by no means cursing. I know

2005-01-22T01:47:00.000-05:00

I love TV, I am addicted, it is one of the best things on the planet, and what makes it so good is some of the programs that us it as a medium. I find that a) ALL REALITY TV SUCKS and b) a good TV show is a scripted TV show that applies to real life, and has much comedy in it. Shows like seinfield, you can be doing something and you will realize that it relates back to seinfield, that is the

Bad Advertising

2005-01-17T10:01:00.000-05:00

In my opinion the best way to sell something to a customer is NOT to annoy them, that it why I do not get those radio and TV ads that annoy the listener/watcher. I am talking specifically about those ads which include an annoying noise such as an alarm clock buzzer or something. The broadband internet people are also big on annoying ads, they can make a dial up internet noise sound 100 times

I Hate Pop Culture

2005-01-14T15:54:00.000-05:00

As much as I despise pop music, it is everywhere, and therefore I am force to hear about the ‘beef’ between Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan. This is when I realized that they don’t hate each other as the media says they do; their PR people push this ‘fight’ because they see the publicity 50-Cent gets from his fights with Ja Rule. Those girls are just tools anyways; they can’t sing [cough::Ashley

"Smart" Cars

2005-01-14T15:35:00.000-05:00

Mercedes-Benz has been bringing their co-brand Smart cars to North America, and I have heard that the base price is in the $26000 (CAD) range. Who would buy this crap? It is smaller than a Geo (in my opinion one of the worst cars around) and it is more expensive than some of the decent/good new cars on the road (not to mention what you can get used for that much coin). Furthermore it looks like

Anyone who watches South Park would remember the episode where Cartman dressed up as hitler for Halowe'en, that episode taught [the dimwitted people who didn't already know] that it is wrong/taboo to dress up as a nazi.

I am an avid user of MSN Messenger and there are just a few things that tend to annoy me when I am using it, mainly people with annoying MSN screennames. After seeing these names for a while I have decided to make my own MSN screenname etiquette, this is more a set of guidelines for me to use but I wouldn't be mad if it caught on. -Avoid using own name.
