  • Working Title: Second Class Supers – Page 2

    Read Second Class Supers – Page 1 After a few hours of listening to music, Kya took roughly twenty minutes to swap out and shelve the hard drives again. As the time passed she felt more relaxed, and began to belt out lyrics from the songs as they played through her headphones. Singing was something Read more

  • Big MegaPixel Canon Camera Refresh

    So, in my earlier discussions and thoughts on the Canon 70D (My Next Camera: Canon 70D), I as pretty certain that the camera would come out with a 18MP sensor, like the 60D, T5i, and SL1, but Canon Rumors has just posted that they’ve been hearing chatter that the Canon 70D might have a larger Read more

  • The Death of Culture: Restricted Sharing

    Microsoft recently made a huge mistake that had Annie and I discussing the culture attached to media, and we realized that while Microsoft is the most recent example, it is not the only example: companies are trying to kill the sharing of media and thus, by extension, culture. People are passionate about media such as Read more

  • Wrist Pain

    Yes, I know I’m opening myself up for a litany of jokes by posting about this, but here we go. A little bit over a week ago, I started experiencing a pain in my wrist. At first, I couldn’t figure out what had happened, but then I realized it must have been due to an Read more

  • Desktop Computer I’d Love to Buy

    I have been running on just a laptop for half a year now, and while it is great for what my plans were, I definitely miss the power of a desktop, and the flexibility of Windows for socializing with my cousins (aka gaming). I have been thinking about what I would get if I could Read more

  • My Weight Lately

    My weight lately has definitely gone up. I haven’t been eating well, and drinking away a bunch of calories. I’ve tried to make it easy for myself, but I’ve just been doing a poor job. I have a bunch of healthy food in my freezer, but haven’t done the dishes to cook any of it. Read more

  • Finally Upgraded to Mountain Lion

    So I finally updated my Macbook Pro laptop to Mountain Lion, and I think so far it’s pretty good. One strange issue I’ve been having is that Google Chrome loads pages without their JavaScript or CSS the first time I go to a site. But a quick refresh later and everything seems to be working Read more

  • Helping My Brother Pick a Camera

    I don’t have an easy way to convert audio into text like my fiancee, but I did want to record a quick bit on helping my brother pick out a camera system this evening. The audio is a little less than two and a half minutes long. If you like the audio posts, I might Read more
