I Have a New Website

Witten wanted to do a running website; I made it. The worst coding job ever! j/k One look at the html will make you cringe (it makes me). More is coming.

Firefox seems to be the only one to display it correctly. Safari does an okay job, and IE has no freaking clue. I'll clean up the code when I get the opportunity.

OS X IS COMING!!!!

October 26th marks the release date for OS X 10.5 Leopard.  This alone is big news, and I can't wait till the Mac Labs on campus adopt it (which seems like it'll be a week afterwards if the arrival of iWork/iLife '08 is any clue).  The thing is, everyone who buys a copy of Leopard gets a free t-shirt; I want a t-shirt.

How sad is that?

Thinking About Macs Again

I really want an iMac.  I really want a flat panel TV.  Then it came to me, why not a $450 Olevia, then get an $800 Mac Mini (1.8 GHz, 1GB RAM, wireless keyboard and mouse, etc.) and then an eyeMac for $150.  The Mini effectively becomes a media center for the 27" television.

The eyeTV is a great tool!  You can use it with any Apple computer (running OS X of course) and play, record, pause--just like a DVR-- with full Front Row integration.  You can take a peak here.  It's so awesome, I'll plug it all day long.

I got the idea after reading http://homepage.mac.com/chamady/MacMiniReview/.  I of course will have updated hardware, but still the same price as an iMac; $1200 for my proposed setup, $1200 for the base unit (2 GHz, 1GB RAM, better graphics card, wired keyboard/mouse and a 20" screen).  I think I'll do the former, but the latter has a bit more powerful).

 

Please comment as to what you think!  :)

New Smash Bros. Character

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/lucas.html

The new character, "Lucas" could be very cool. Ness is an odd but very good character to play as, I only wish Lucas has the abilities of Ness minus the quirky movement.

It appears that Lucas was in MOTHER 3, of which is a Japan only game that I haven't played but info can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_3.
