It’s not like I mean to neglect this blog, it’s just that lately I go home, I eat, I hop in bed. I know, sounds healthy doesn’t it? I think I’ve been doing that a lot since winter, especially when I’m cold. Although last night I read Sorcery & Cecelia by Patricia [...]
Yut’s old computer was getting on in years — 5 to be exact, which in computer years is definitely time for retirement. We thought about just buying one, but building mine was pretty alright fun, so we decided to look into parts instead. Although honestly, I think I saw a Dell ad for [...]
About a month ago, we got another camera, this time a little one that’s easy to stuff in Yut’s pocket. (Or my pocket. Y’know, whatever.) Officially, since the D50 is sorta my camera, although we both use it (Yut snickered here), this new one (a Canon Powershot SD850 IS) is officially Yut’s [...]
I dunno if all that many people are interested, but I thought a comparison might be interesting. I think I could’ve bought a Dell or HP or whatever with similar parts (maybe a bit less RAM, a bit better processor, but with a DVD burner and whatnots) for about $600 or so (assuming no [...]
It started cos I needed more RAM. And a new video card. And probably a new processor. &c&c!
There it is, the old computer.
I know we coulda bought a whole new computer from Dell or HP or whatever, probably for as cheap/cheaper, and it’s not like I overclock or anything. But I thought [...]
misa and neb came by yesterday, and after lunch we went bicycle browsing, cos I’m thinking about getting one. We went to the Missing Link Bicycle Cooperative where they tried to find a bike that would fit me. I haven’t ridden in years (maybe up to 20), so I’m sort of intimidated by [...]
We finally decided to get rid of our old couch last weekend. It was due — the middle seat’s support beam was broken, plus it was old. Since misa and neb were looking to sell their old couch we figured it was a sign! (I dunno why I’m all about signs this [...]
A while back, I ordered a Nikon 18-200mm VR lens for $750 (reviewed by Thom Hogan if you want to see a picture of the lens next to my current lens or check out some specs). I know, I know, crazy expensive! But I figured it would cover a lot of the focal [...]
We finally finished Phoenix Wright: Justice for All, a Nintendo DS game where you try cases, but honestly, it’s fun! Hard to describe though. It’s actually the second Phoenix Wright game — the first was Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. If you haven’t tried (ha, inadvertent) the first one, it’s okay to pick [...]
Since we’ve gone through over a box of tissues in a week or so, I thought I’d share this: Green Forest tissue is better than Seventh Generation tissue. Not only is the Green Forest tissue softer than the Seven Generation stuff, it’s got a higher percentage of post-consumer recycled paper (both 100% recycled paper, [...]
