Sapiens is what I'm trying out right now. It has replaced quicksilver for the moment, but I haven't gotten to do much with it yet.
I know that quicksilver is more than just an application launcher, but because of all that extra cool stuff (that I never use) it is ...

My friend Sir Robert got a Wii. It is pretty frickin' awesome. I have only played Wii Sports, and about 1 minute of the Zelda game.
Zelda looks alright, but is probably not the kind of game I would like. Okami (PS2) seems like a similar type of game, and ...

My Sony Camera broke a while back.
Later I get an email that I almost delete that ended up being a notification of a class action suit against sony because their digital cameras break. I didn't do much with it for a while, but I decided to look at it the ...

Consoles seem to be on a 6 year cycle. 05-06 has been the latest cycle, so we are looking at 11-12 before new consoles come out.
I actually remember when the PS2 came out... only one of my friends got one because Sony purposefully limited the supply to drive up the ...

Kind of...
Apparently there was a class action suit against Sony because of the displays on my camera model (and others) breaking... I haven't looked too much into it, but I'm planning on sending in the letter (I have until next October.)

Blockwriter
Software concept (dang, no free download) that allows you to write like you would on a typewriter. (i.e. no delete)
Thomas told me once that that was good for writers (or something).

I haven't liked any of the word processors that I have used since Word 5.1. Since then Word has grown into a half-text-editor-half-page-layout-all-crap monstrosity, and every alternative tries to be like Word.
This is what I want:
•Formatting (bold, italic, font type, font size, alignment (left, right, center, justified) line spacing ...

My Sony DSC F-717 spoiled me in three ways (or is this just how a camera should work?)
1. I could take pictures w/o flash in low light circumstances by concentrating on keeping the camera still while it was taking pictures.
The Canon seems to jump to 1 second exposure a lot ...

I can't really afford it, but I can't really afford to not have a camera:
I also picked up a waterproof case for it... something I have always wanted. Now I just gotta get to a place that has underwater photo opportunities...
At some point I'm going to get a Digital SLR, ...

Take it!
I got "60.74951%- Extreme Geek"
Although, some of the questions like: "I want to be..." I creatively shifted to "I have wanted to be..."
If you pressed me on the "I know who X is" questions I might fold... But I have heard of them and knew who they ...

What is the point of even letting me download for OS X something called "Real Player" or "Window Media Player" from your respective sites when 9 times out of 10 they do not play Real or Windows media?

How come I can run for 45 minutes and almost 4 miles on an elliptical machine and never feel winded, but when I run about 100 feet out to the mail box and back, it takes me 30 seconds to get back to breathing normally again?
and what does "how come" ...

So I left for work at 12:30... completely oblivious that it was not 11:30.
"But Dwight," you say, "It isn't fall-forward or spring-back time even in the least!"
"Au contraire," I might say, if I knew what it meant if it applied in this situation.
"You, my good sir, are correct." ...

So the great Virtual Network Client, etc. experiment is over. Do not try to use VNC, Timbuktu, or the like if you want to use the host computer to view streaming video on the client computer.
