Summarize The Wind Waker in one sentence or more.
Terrible piece of crap.
Okay, a little harsh. The Wind Waker is an alright game, but as a Zelda game it’s terrible. Chris told me that he’s replaying it. I don’t know why he wants to put himself through this kind of torture again.
For one thing, Link is [...]

I’ve learned not to be so upset about having a job or career that isn’t 100% related to what I studied in school.
When you were at your High School graduation, did someone in your graduating class say something like “YEAH! No more studying! No more learning!”? I bet that somebody did, and I’m fairly sure [...]

Chris gave us a tour of his hometown and of Buffalo. We all caught up with each other. Andrew prepares for his new life in Chicago.

I called them back today, explained the situation, and got things resolved. The service conditions have been mailed and were even emailed to me.
As far as customer service reps, seems like they need to add a little quality control there. The one today was like “I have no idea why we wouldn’t be able to [...]

About a month ago I got a Cingular phone. Rather, I was granted a Cingular phone through my employer – family business kind of deal.
The phone is a Nokia 6012i. It’s alright I guess, although it isn’t recognized by iSync out of the box. You have to download an add-in that somebody wrote to get [...]

Seems to be a little more elegant than Ecto.
It feels more Mac-like, although it seems that Ecto is more customizable than MarsEdit. Both offer trials that last about a month.
Ecto costs like $5 less than Marsedit.
Over the next month I’ll use both and see what’s what.

I’m going to try a new blogging program called Ecto. Macjournal doesn’t really do quite a good job with HTML formatting, so I wanted to see other alternatives.
Ecto seems pretty cool. You can choose to write your posts in plain text or rich text. It will integrate with pretty much every blog service known to [...]

So why even get it?
Tons of people, including myself and friends of mine, have “acquired” Photoshop in one way or another. We have heard that Photoshop was the solution for image editing. It was the ONLY way to do it
But, to a young person who does this sort of thing as more of a hobby [...]

Scenario 1: Author

Salesperson: Awesome. So, to get started you’ll need a Mac or a PC and a Word Processing program, such as Microsoft Word.
Customer: That’s all I need?
Salesperson: Yeah…the [...]
