Yes, the saga continues. After waiting about a month for parts, I got a call earlier this week that the needed parts for the repair have arrived at the repair center. A few days later, they called back again to confirm a time to come over for the repair. The repair guy showed up promptly;…

Got My Mac On! Finally…
Been a little busy with week with work and chores this week so I’ve been kinda quiet on the blogfront (well, except for that iPhone post.) I finally pulled the trigger and bought an Apple; a nice shiny white MacBook from the refurbished department in the Apple online store. I was watching their offerings for…

It also persists across sessions, so next time you fire up Firefox, it brings back your permanent tabs automagically. Sweet, now I won’t keep…

Heard about a guy who tests his hard core kitchen blenders by blending items that you normally wouldn’t on one of the Twit podcasts a while ago. Finally saw a link to the site go flying by on digg. willitblend.com is a riot. Golf balls, hockey pucks, light bulbs, cell phones, and ipod? You name…

‘nother Heavy Metal String Band
A while back I found Apocalyptica, good stuff. Today (via fark), I stumbled on Judgement Day (sic). Same idea, but equally interesting. Their trailer video on youtube rocks. Looking forward to some good stuff from in them in ’07.
