I got myself a new toy; the Drobo Data Storage Robot
Should be arriving next week or the week after that… but continue reading for a more detailed discussion on the gadget.

3G iPhone demystified
Ok so there’s a lot of hullaballoo about the new iPhones being dirt cheap. 200USD is cheap assuming you can get a unit at that price with no strings attached.
Unfortunately, that’s not how it goes.
Before we begin, it would be wise to not think in terms of US market value, because we know once VAT, shipping, whatever taxes start hitting those phones on our shores, they’ll find a way to recoup through the contracts.
All the information here isn’t final, and may change depending on how the local market responds come July, but all things being equal here’s the lowdown.
Red vs Blue
I got to download all 5 seasons of Red vs. Blue, a Machinima series by [Rooster Teeth productions.]0 It’s so addicting to watch, that I thought it was worth spreading.
It’s only about 2-4 minutes per episode so even the most attention-span-challenged individual can find the time to watch it.
I’ve compiled scenes I thought were funny to give you guys an idea what RvB is about.

…have no business being camera whores.
Ok fine, maybe a decent smile is ok, but trying to get creative with smoldering looks and weird poses – that’s just disgusting. That’s just like a fat person trying to wear skimpy clothes.
Whatever we think about our “inner beauty” is fine, but don’t ever mix that up with actual outward appearance. Being confident of one’s self is different from having a delusion that the rest of the world thinks of you the same way.
I’m just sayin’ 😉
I’m not a camera whore, 1 I’d rather be taking the picture than being in it. so no one can really tell me something like “you’re one to talk!” Ha!
(I’m sooo going to hell for saying all that; but you know what, I think not letting them know is the greater sin)

Why do we even bother?
There’s something I need to say… something controversial and possibly offensive.
But to understand my concern requires that we be on the same page. So I’d like to ask some questions before I get to the meat of things.
-
If schools are for educating people – why do we have gender-exclusive schools? Do you think it’s wrong that we have all male/female schools considering the purpose of education is and should be universal? Should the foundation of an educational system be changed because of it?

Why do sports have so much unnecessary rules? Take basketball for instance, isn’t the goal simply to put the ball in the basket? Why must there be a requirement to dribble the ball, not stay in the paint for more than 3 seconds etc. etc. If the minutiae of the sport makes it more complex than it really should be, does that mean that league that made the rules was misguided?
