Bowl Preparations

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

After today’s announcement of the student ticket lottery for bowl tickets talk of the trip is finally turning serious. Well, serious for a larger number of people. I’ve known for a few weeks now that if the bowl is Orange, then I will be there. Janos had the foresight to order Orange Bowl tickets while [...]

Top Music

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

Thought I’d pass along what iTunes tells me I’ve listened to the most. This takes probably from the last 2-3 months, whenever I got my Mac. If you have not heard any of these then you need to get to work. I was pretty impressed with the list.
1. Straylight Run - The Tension and the [...]

VLC 0.8.4

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

I have some time so I’ll keep catching you up on things you should be downloading.
VLC Media Player is just that, a media player. What is so nice about it is that you don’t need any codecs. If you have a video or audio file, odds are this will play it. It also is available [...]

The new version of Firefox is out today. I’ve been using what is not 1.5 for a few months now and haven’t had any problems. Its faster, safer, and has a couple of new features.

Some that I agree are terrible that I’d like to mention:

The Hot Seat (I’d include [...]

Notes

Friday, November 25th, 2005

Its been a while. How have you been? Really, thats too bad. Anyway. I haven’t had anything that I’ve felt was worth its own post. However, over the past few weeks I’ve been jotting down some notes of things I’ve thought of or come across online in hopes of after getting a few that I [...]

More Arrested Development Stuff

Tuesday, November 15th, 2005

One my the blogs that I check out regularly, Lost Remote, has a very interesting article today on how Arrested Development should use its popularity to change television. The idea is to make new content freely available On Demand and online and then charge for old content via those mediums and sell DVDs. Read the [...]

Sixers Game Last Night

Saturday, November 12th, 2005

I was given tickets to last night’s Sixers game so I took Ahad down to the Wachovia Center. The Sixers pulled it out 85-81 in a very sloppy game that ended with a lot of excitement. AI2 (Andre) locked up Kobe making him pretty inneffective. If it weren’t for Chris Mihm the Sixers would have [...]
