Really annoy me.
Ownership is one thing, but Tech Level? Full bar. One egg review, no pros but at least took some time to write a con. Look at that picture carefully… the con is that the drive doesn’t work. On arrival apparently, so essentially DOA. But has a tech level of 5, and wants to know, via Newegg reviews, if there’s anything anyone can do?
People like this need to GTFO the internet. Seriously. Goddamn.
Things I’ve learned

Just a list, full update later.
- Running your own Minecraft server can be just as fun, if not more so, than playing the game itself.
- Watching the Star Trek (2009) trailer over and over again is still as rewarding as it was back in 2008-2009 when I was waiting for the release. (cough)
- Microsoft, even through all their “evils” is still responsible for about 98% of what we live in our daily lives. I am thankful to them for all my torture, all of my fun, and all my knowledge. Cheers M$.
- Bill Gates is not evil. Seriously.
- Neither was Steve Jobs. R.I.P. dude.
- I really hate that movie theaters have given up on sound trailers. Seriously, when was the last time you saw a true 8 channel SDDS intro teaser or a full THX trailer? Yeah, it sucks.
- Certificates are EVIL. Especially ones tied to multilevel server infrastructures with no formal training.
- I do my best thinking after about a full 2 liter of Diet Dew, and staying up until 3am doing nothing in particular. at least.
- I still own the first two totally free computers I ever received. Thanks, Ted Waitt.
- Like the pompous girl on the Sallie Mae website, I chose to be ready after school as well, I just didn’t count on the 1500 LB gorilla (Obesity is an epidemic after all) at the door. FFS. FML.
- Being my own web host for the past… uhh wow. 12 years or so has been awesome. And lets hear it for grandfathered rates while we’re at it.
- Lack of internet provider competition sucks
- The MPAA & RIAA should be shuttered for lack of morality, greed, and because they smell funny.
That’s all for now…
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

*clasps face and runs around the house* AHHHHHH!!!!
Why the hell can’t I keep this thing going? Curse you Facebook, curse you. But then I realized last night that I have a hard time with Facebook because I can’t write down long thoughts about something that I just can’t stop wrapping my head around, so I’m going to run a little experiment. I’m going to create a group on Facebook, let folks opt into it, and then post my blog updates to just that group. I also don’t like how the Facebook comments system integrates with WordPress at this point in time, so I’ll leave the commenting back on Facebook for now I s’pose. I may tinker around with the plugin later and see if I can’t get it working right.
That being said, oh hai 2012.
I’ve been keeping a running log of things I want to write about here, so I’ll be posting pretty frequently until either that list runs out or the site crashes. I hope the latter never happens, and as long as I’m wishing, ditto for the former.
woot woot.
