    Shopping

    So I was doing some online shopping/browsing at Circuitcity.com. I was looking for some iPod accessories, and they offer the Bose® Tri-Port® Headphones See Here. How is the iPod supposed to support this, with only one headphone jack? If somebody can tell me how, I'd like to know.


    I contacted circuitcity.com letting them know of this oversight.

    Annoyed

    Last night I bought some Hershey's with Mint candy bars for a co-worker, who likes them, so I put them in her locker. That was around 4:15, so I looked again at 9:00 and they were gone. that just annoys me to no end that somebody would steal candy bars from other staff members....

    Stupid Ideas

    I was buying a CD from Circuit City, and I was offered "scratch protection", now to me this is stupid, why would I want scratch protection on a product that cost $9.99, and that I will only use once, before putting away? This might have been a good idea like 10 years ago, before mp3 players were popular. I asked the sales person how much it was, and they said $1.99. So, let's see.... I'd pay 11.98 for the cd and to protect my cd against scratching... well, if I take care of the CD, I won't need the scratch protection would I?


    On another note, people must be having a really bad driving day today, I had one guy almost hit me, because he didn't slow down, I had another guy riding my bumper for a good 3 miles, and there was a copy blocking off Southbound traffic on Rt 59, I'm not sure why. So everybody was going through the Meijer parking lot.

    Projects

    Well I've encoded a vast majority of my cds, except I seem to be missing two cases of cds. I'm not sure where they are. I'll have to do some searching to see if I can locate them. I wonder where they could be....

    who cares

    well it's a good thing I never want to use my own damn computer, because I can never get on it. I had to work late tonight, got home around 8:20, and watched tv for an hour and half, waiting to get on the damn computer, but I'm still waiting.... I wanted to play a game, which I haven't been able to play in almost a week because I can't get on my own fucking computer... this is complete bullshit, I think I'm going to start restricting their use of my computer until 10 pm and force them to log off at that time. Therefore I may actually get to use my own computer for once.


    Since I can't get on my own computer, I'm forced to use the "family" computer, and with that, I'll start downloading stuff since I can't use my own... and my brother is starting to bitch "why is my ping so high"... well first off it's not fucking ping.... it's called LATENCY, there is a difference....


    Ping the round trip time to get there and back, not counting the time to build the ping packet.
    Latency is the time it takes to get to the remote site and back, including building the ping packet, so there is a difference between the two. I wish people would stop using these interchangibly.

    Argument

    I have to argue with Jewel's take on Love:


    She stated


    "Romantics... Sara said it best. Love does not exist. The old meaning the new meaning the half ass meaning. The word is misused severely. For instance when most guys and when I say most I mean 99.999999999999999999% between the ages of 14 and 30 say it they just want to get laid. That's it plain and simple. You've been with a girl long enough and you're not getting any action just act serious and say it and boom chances just sky rocketed. The thing is it's not even the guys faults. I mean if women weren't too stupid to fall for the trick then shit like this wouldn't happen. It makes me mad not because there is a chance that you will knock up the poor defenseless woman thus making the world suffer because one of your spawn has blessed the world with it's shitty presence... nope not it. It's because you can't get laid without using the L word. It's pretty shitty if you can't woo a girl by any other method except making her think she's special then you need to just stick to masterbation. "


    Not all guys who fall into the 14 to 30 range use the "L" word (as you call it) just to get Laid... some of them actually say, and mean it. (yes, new concept, I know) Although, I do have to contend that there is a no physical object of Love, it's all emotional and abstract item, therefore one persons definition of Love may be different than another persons... Except, there seems to be a social concensus that some actions cannot count as Love.

    Cisco Wireless

    I'm getting fed up of trying to figure out why the wireless portion of my Cisco 1811 isn't working when I configure it for open authentication. Simple SSID, open authentiction, and that's it. If anybody has any ideas let me know.

    RSS and Podcasts

    I removed the RSS Feeds on the Left hand side of my blog, since the CurrentNews site takes care of those. So I added a list of podcasts that I listen to, or watch on a regular basis. Most of them I listen to whenever there's a new episode out.
