  • I’m not a Mac whore.. honest!!

    At least that’s what I’m telling myself. In truth, Steve Jobs has wooed me with promises of media capability and social standing. Yep, I just bought a Mac.

    A Macbook to be more precise. I’m starting school again in a little less then a month, so to allow myself a little more freedom in writing papers, doing research, and wasting time between classes, I decided I’d get another laptop. I’m a little leery of learning a whole new operating system, but Aaron assures me the biggest hurdle is figuring out all the functions of the command button. We shall see, we shall see.

  • Video – 300 – Lego Style

    It isn’t the greatest Lego video of all time, but it’s pretty funny.

  • An Illustrated Guide to Coffee

    caffe mochaI love coffee, but that doesn’t mean I have a clue what goes into most of the drinks I consume.

    Well, now you can find out at a glance just what was in that Caffe Mocha you just ordered, thanks to Lokesh Dhakar’s “Coffee Drinks Illustrated” an illustrated coffee guide. Simplistic, yet brilliant work. Even if you don’t drink much coffee it’s worth a look, pretty interesting stuff.

  • Free Internet Anywhere (cell reception required)

    Today, I present to you, in it’s entirety, the quick and easy (mild case of nerdiness required) way to rock the free internet scene with your cell phone.

    And now, after building up your hopes… I shall cruelly dash them against the sharp rocks below! Here’s what you’ll need to get this to work.

    • Phone: Motorola E815, Razr v3, V710*,
    • Computer: Any Mac running OS X 10.4 with Bluetooth
    • Provider: Alltel (although rumor has it that a Verizon account/phone with mobile web service does the trick as well)

    Note: Verizon ships its phones with dial-up networking disabled, due to the fact they are jerks. To enable it, enter ##DIALUP on your phone. That’s ##342587. You’ll need to type it in as quickly as possible for it to work. The phone will show a confirmation once you’ve successfully enabled dial-up networking. As logic would dictate, doing this again will disable your new found dial-up networking. This only works with older versions of the firmware, so if you have a newer phone with current firmware you’re out of luck (unless you want to downgrade your firmware).
