Thanks to my good friend Juan, I got myself a Time Capsule (which I’ll be calling TC from here on out). Finally, I’m now able to make good on that last thought I had in an old post.
Call to boycott Creative Labs
I invite everyone to take a look at this thread… and be utterly disgusted. I also invite anyone who has time to spare, to do whatever you can in decreasing the market share of Creative Labs products.
I know that the influence of the internet is a very small percentage in affecting the bottom-line of hardware manufacturers such as this. The beauty of the web is that it doesn’t take much effort to be heard – no matter how small you are. So unlike trying to fix governments, the phrase “do your part, no matter how small” certainly applies here.
Read on if you want my detailed opinion on the matter…
The best LOST theory out there
For those of you who, like me, have given up on LOST simply because it took too goddamn long to resolve anything, here’s some guy’s take which is very compelling.
Don’t get me wrong, I think LOST is an awesome concept, and I don’t think less of anyone who has diligently watched every episode till now. It’s just that honestly, for a series that has that much of complexity in the concept alone, you really should limit how many seasons it will run and make sure it resolves by then. Right now it’s like they’re extending the seasons just because of the ratings and not necessarily because the story needs that much seasons to unravel.
Or they could at least try doing it a-la Heroes; where it answers a ton of questions as fast as it can (sometimes even within the season). That way, even if new questions/issues arise – nothing is compounded; and the viewers have to come to grips with less of a mind-fuck.
Hacking Multiply
Well, it’s not so much of a hack… or is it? By definition, it actually is – yet judging from how people like to define “hacking” nowadays, this is pretty lame… but I digress.
The short of it is that I made a “skin” for my Multiply page. The purpose of the exercise is to hopefully set it apart from the rest of the users which go the “template” way. Not that it really matters to me; social networking sites are always secondary to my main site. I’d even go so far as to say the only reason I sign up on such sites is to make sure no one uses my handle. I learned the hard way when someone took the “nargalzius” handle on AIM before me.
Third leg
Since I started this hobby (photography) a couple of years ago, only now have I finally invested on a tripod. There are a bunch of reasons why I ended up waiting this long. But after all is said and done – I finally have one of my own; and ain’t she a beauty!
