UNC CAUSE – Apple Session, Cont.

Several of the Apple fans present at the Apple session have already purchased iPhones, and many of the UNC schools are having issues with the iPhones being incompatible with their current wireless APs on their campuses. One of the Mac geeks present suggested a good justification for purchasing an iPhone and making it work on…

UNC CAUSE – Day 1

We made it to Asheville uneventfully; traffic was mild for a Monday morning. Conference registration was at 10:30am, so we registered, and then made early rounds to see what Vendors had just started setting up their booths. I picked up some nice shwag from Sun, CDW-G, Epson, Gateway, and a few other smaller vendors that…

Sweeny Todd

Has anyone seen the preview for the Sweeny Todd movie with Johnny Depp in it? It looks pretty darn spiffy. I haven’t been a huge fan of anything of Johnny Depp’s other than the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy and Corpse Bride. Anytime he’s teamed up with Tim Burton I think I’m going to hop…

I Shot a Guy Once

You know what’s fun? Lying. It’s totally a sin and I understand that, but lots of sins are fun. I don’t think I even need to elaborate more on that. Sometimes, when I meet new people, I like to shock them immediately with some sort of horrendous lie. Depending on whether or not I might…

Be Prepared… For Zombies

That’s right. It could happen one day. The way we play around with science and nature so casually. We’re eventually going to make zombies. And when that happens, you better believe the currency system is going to straight nose-dive into the ground. You may have thousands or millions of dollars locked away in an off-shore…

I Need More Sleep

The only reason I wake up on time most mornings is that I can somehow keep a running total of what time it is based on my last “Snooze” button whack. The alarm goes off every morning at 6:42 am. Because the “snooze” button goes off in 9 minute intervals, I know I can hit…

Grandma has Cancer

Anyone, everyone who reads this: My grandmother has breast cancer. She just found out yesterday. It hasn’t metastasized to anywhere else in her body, so she should be okay. She has opted to have the breast removed rather than go through chemotherapy. The doctors say that removing it entirely should eliminate the cancer completely. I…

On TVs

So, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I have a pretty big TV. Fifty-five inches of Hitachi HDTV goodness. I had been eyeing it online at Circuit City for a few months when all of the sudden, it drops $500 in price over Memorial Day weekend, so I snatched it up on…

Back in Black

You know you missed me! I’ve been busy lately, what with playing my used copies of Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II on my Playstation 2, going to Halloween parties, trying to get my self-employment gig started back up again, and evil diabolical plans and all. My new business is called “The Raging Tech,” –…
