Full time

In preparation for moving out, I’ve switched to the Mac full time.  I’m trying to sell the desktop, so if you know anyone interested, please tell them.  I bought a few things to make life easier though.  First, a dual sata drive firewire800 enclosure.  I put my 200gb and 250gb drives in there and now I have plenty of storage.  Second a USB hub/card reader.  I can’t live with only two USB ports, since I carry around three flash drives.  Third, another gig or RAM.  I think I may give parallels a try and if I do I want to have enough RAM for it.  And finally an iMic.  It’s an analog to USB sound converter.  Since the laptop only has a line level input, my headset didn’t work with it.  Now it works fine and sounds good.  Plus I have extra inputs now to play with and using SoundSource it’s crazy easy to switch between the inputs and things.
I’m going to keep my monitor, so I have it setup with dual monitors, which is totally sweet.  I’m not usre about the setup of it though, because the laptop screen is lower than the desktop screen.  It’s a little weird, but I think I can get used to it.  If not, I’ll build  a little stand to rest the laptop on to raise the screen up.

Baby drop box?

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/05/16/baby.drop.ap/index.html Are you serious? I’m not worried about the fact that they have a baby drop. Whose genius idea was that? How did they figured it wouldn’t get abused? The kicker is that it’s not child endangerment or abuse because they’re leaving the kid in a safe place. I [...]

Paramore

Here’s my band of the moment: paramore.
I saw a quick clip of them on MTV2 doing an acoustic song. I found the song on youtube and man can she sing.

 
I think I like the song better as an acoustic than normal, but I’m a sucker for a good acoustic. Here’s their [...]

Catchy Jingle

You know those BP commercials with the catchy jingle? It goes, “Make the world a little better, say hey” *whistles*. It’s an awesomely catchy little diddy.
I just found a slightly different version of the song, but it’s still cool. Anyone wanna buy it for me?
