The good ol’ days of RollerCoaster Tycoon

Before it was 3D, before it had a sequel..there was pure bliss.
The Internet’s been finicky today so I set out playing RCT while trying to look busy doing math homework. I’m not a very good park designer and I suck at roller coaster building but I do enjoy the micromanagement of the finances and every [...]

It looks like my laptop is reborked

…the keyboard stopped responding (liquid damage). On the upshot, everything else works. This has happened before but this time it didn’t sort itself out.
Good news is the replacement isn’t that expensive and I don’t have to send it in for repairs. Bad news is of course that it isn’t free.
Either way I finally know how [...]

Remember the old trinket that babes used to sit and gyrate on?

That was the spam in my inbox yesterday. It is by far probably the worst subject line I’ve ever gotten. What’s worse is…I can picture it in my head. You know what I see?
Pigs rotating on top of a Precious Moments statuette. As described by an old lady reminiscing about the “better days”.
More coming tomorrow, [...]

Odd Gadget of the Day: iPosture

I have a feed subscription to 100shiki, which is a Japanese blog showcasing a website of the day. And a couple days ago, they posted a page for…something really strange.
It’s called the ‘iPosture’ and it’s a tiny little disc-shaped..thing that’s supposed to detect when you slouch and beep to remind you to sit up, not [...]

Ubuntu MID Edition

Probably waaaaay old news.. but I just found out that there’s a new Ubuntu project called Ubuntu MID Edition.
‘MID’ stand for ‘Mobile Internet Device’ and that should give away most of the functionality already. Essentially Ubuntu customized for the Internet and squeezed into a smaller space, it offers “full Internet, no compromise”.
It’s designed to be [...]

The first step to confidence is to stop being a selfish bitch

If you’ll nose around my comments a bit, someone by the handle of “laughingyouth” has presented an interesting point.
I got offended at first, but just take a listen (look?)
The problem with teenagers is that they all deal with the same kind problems and fears while being absolutely sure they are the only one feeling that [...]

I wanna switch to another Linux distro

…but I don’t know which one. I wanna try to avoid being singled out because Ubuntu is the Windows of the Linux world. Plus, the more Linux experience the better right?
I heavily considered Fedora, heck maybe DSL (Damn Small Linux), but I’m worried it won’t work with my wireless. I’d be sooo lost without Debian [...]

Why is Language Important?

You know, before I started studying foreign languages, I wouldn’t give that question much thought. I’d throw out the usual “Language is important because it’s how humans communicate” and get on with it. That, of course, is definitely true, but when I seriously started studying languages, I discovered a more involved answer.
Language, in all its forms [...]

Encyclopedia Dramatica reaches its donation goal

Well I just found it out like 3 seconds ago.
318 people donated
Some poor, brave soul lumped together $2,500..wow.
I’m glad to see they’re healthy again. Healthy as STD inflicted 4chan memehunting butt-sniffing /b/tards can be anyway. (How’d you like that? I don’t even know what I’m saying but I learned all about that from [...]
