U.S. Passports to Receive Electronic Identification Chips (WashingtonPost)
Slashdot linked to this article about the new chips in US passports, which I don’t exactly understand (I haven’t been keeping up on this) and don’t yet have a strong opinion about it one way or another as far as having one in MY passport is concerned. But [...]

I just cheated and downloaded the 100% completion ending cut-scenes for metroid prime I and II. I’m a bad person.
But holy shyst. I have a strange and sneaky suspicion that I will be bloody buying the new nintendo console just so I can play the third game. That evil dark bitch of [...]

Quote of the day from robojamie.com
“The current PowerBook reeks of 2002.”

Thoughts I had while reading for Wr411:

A lot of people misunderstand synaesthesis and think that one sense actually gets imposed on or mixed up with another sense… that we have distracting hallucinations or that we’re completely unable to even see the number 2 if it’s written on paper of the wrong shade of green for example. (hahaha.)
So, while reading about cognition [...]

I’m so fricken awesome.
I just got internet today at home, so I’ve been busy upgrading ubuntu and stuff. I just solved two rather scary problems with my system without any help from anyone!
