Here’s a look at the 8 artists that I’ve listened to the most.

Hit With Malware Again 01.24.10

I’m not exactly sure when or why, although I have my suspicions of links in emails being clicked, but my computer has been hit with malware once again.  It’s been turning off my Windows Live OneCare and giving me occasional popups in FireFox.  I really wish I was skilled enough to scan through the report [...]

Super Mario Bros. Wii 01.03.10

Yesterday my brother picked it up at Best Buy while we were up in Chattanooga, and he forgot it here when he went home yesterday.  Needless to say, today was mostly spent playing it.  I’ve been wanting to try it out since seeing that it was released and watching some video reviews of it.  I [...]

Pink Ball From SocialVibe 09.04.09

If you earn 2,000 points for your cause on SocialVibe, they send you a pink stress ball.  I’m at 4,132 points so far, so with 100 points equaling 457 gallons (according to their Facebook app), that’s over 18,000 gallons earned for charity: water so far by me.  I’m hoping they add in some type of [...]

Sending Ringtones To Verizon Phones 09.03.09

I’ve always tried to avoid the ringtone sites where you choose your carrier, enter your phone, and let them send it directly to your phone because I never feel like reading the terms to see what kind of hidden charges there may be.  It turns out that sending a ringtone via email to your phone [...]

Joined SocialVibe 08.20.09

Yesterday I signed up for an account at SocialVibe, which is social network that allows you to raise money for causes that you want to support by choosing a sponsor and displaying a badge of that sponsor that they give you.  I’m not a huge ad guy, so i like to avoid them as much [...]

Tweaking CSS 08.15.09

CSS has always been a weak point of mine.  I’m more of a visual learner, so looking at just the code doesn’t really get me very far.  Pretty often I either tweak or add something to my blog, which in turn requires some CSS to make look right.  For example, just a few days ago, [...]

Nikon Coolpix S550 05.11.09

Even with already having a DSLR camera, I’ve been wanting a high megapixel compact camera that would easily fit in my pocket that I could take on bike rides. My D200 would be awesome to have with me all the time, but there are times when I’d rather be a bit more discrete and others [...]

Enjoying My 2GB RAM Upgrade 05.07.09

My new 2GB worth of RAM came from Crucial today and I didn’t waste any time installing it.  I think it actually took more time to plug everything back into the back of the computer than it did to install the RAM.
