windows 7

i know i'm late on this, but i'm really alright with that. after about 14 failed attempts with firefox, safari, and opera on my macbook, i finally got the download on ie on my mothers winbox. and soon i was on my way to installing the windows 7 public beta. the first time, there were some issues with windows exporer, but a second install down the road and everything is great. there really isn't much to say about it that hasn't already been said, it just seems to be a more stabler, efficient version of vista. so microsoft released vista too early (probably to try and fight that huge [and still going] mac push that seems to be happening recently), fixed it, and should have made it an sp2. i plan to keep it installed until my beta runs out, and use it while i'm at school, but windows still hasn't shown me anything worthy of switching, and now that i have a 360, there is really nothing i need windows for. It seems like a great new version of windows. if your a windows user you'll get it when you need a new computer (i would advise waiting till it comes out [this july i believe it's set?] to buy one if it's not necessary). and if you bought vista, my regards.

also, when the beta first came out, it was going to be limited to only the first 32 million downloaders. the demand was there, and the servers crashed. by the time it was back up, it was a full public beta, available until jan 24th (this saturday, so hurry up if you've missed out). i think they planned this the whole time. they said it would be VERY limited just to see the demand there would be for people eager to try the new windows.


there is just something about os x, that makes me feel at home.

backflip.

"the deep south? isn't that the place where all the black guys are lazy, and the white guys are just as lazy, but they're mad at the black guys for being so lazy?"

clock.

i got a clock for christmas, and i guess the box got hit too hard, but the minute hand was loose. today i opened it up, and fixed it (which was surprisingly easy).
look:


thanks holly.

jamster.

i just saw a jamster commercial that said:
"...text 8346(?) to 1-800-jam-ster(?) to receive free jamster downloads for just $6 canadian per month."

The presidents lunch.

So, earlier today all of the living guys who were the President of the Unites States of America! got together for a "presidents lunch."
Here's a video:




Some funny comments about the video:
-> notice how at [0:54] Bush (Jr) nudges obama when he begins to speak after Bush has said his thing. It's almost a silent "no, say nothing"
-> Carter seems to be standing significantly away from everyone else, i wonder if he is aware of this.
-> and at the end, Bill Clinton points down and says to Bush (Jr.) "I love this rug" and it just makes me laugh everytime; (i had to watch this video several times as the original i saw was put in javascript, and i needed to find an embeddable one that had the ending and a shot of the nudge. THANKS YOUTUBE!)

There's a hole in my window covered with a lot of tape.

There's snow stuck in between the tape and the window.

have you ever wanted to fly?

take me to the mountains.

a little sexual frustration.

combined with lack of motivation.




and a loss of concentration.
