So, I’ve been playing Rift off and on for a few months and I’m starting to get really into it. Rift just started a “Recruit-a-friend” type of system, so now I can invite others to play, and if the people I invite end up purchasing, the system gives me free gifts (like a PUPPY. And [...]

Wanted: Daily Log app for iPhone
12-Aug-08I want to log notes on a calendar on my iphone. I also want to be able to log several different types of things separately, but have the option to view them together on the same calendar. For example, say I want a food log, a workout log, and a mood log. I should be [...]
xkcd… live! at a google campus near you!
08-Dec-07I met Randall Munroe today. Still sorta swoony. :) I’ve now got a signed copy of this comic: I’m totally regretting being so damn shy and not talking to him more. *sigh* In Other News: After nearly 5 months of no music in my car (due to that stupid theft thing), I have a new [...]
At last at last at last! We’re finally imortalized on Google Maps and Google Earth! Here’s the Digg story, a direct link to the google map (I’m the little dot on the far right in the picture of us near the trucks), and a article about the crop circle being in Google Earth! I’m so [...]
Reading Wil Shipley instead of working…
16-Oct-06Reading digg and jumping to Wil Shipley’s blog post slamming Larry Bodine’s essay on why he hates Macs… is hazardous to my attention span. Yes, if you insist on running a ten-year-old browser on your Mac instead of any of the five or so alternatives, some web sites may not work. In other news, if [...]
Dirge of Cerberus: so dark and shiny!
15-Oct-06I think I’m almost at the very end of Dirge of Cerberus, and I’ve only logged about 5 hours of game time. I could be totally wrong though. I’m not cheating and looking up guides or anything. hm… btw… god. Vincent is so hot. (*snickers*) so… time for some Dirge of Cerberus reviews and reviewing [...]
Literacy, technology, Google, and India
05-Oct-06(or titled “part 2 of the “hole in the wall” India literacy experiment post!”) Google announced yesterday that it’s launching the Google Literacy project to help spread literacy and provide resources and lots of other stuff for teachers, parents, mentors, students, and just regular people (with internet access) to help do so. While promoting literacy [...]
Google gives public domain books!
31-Aug-06I feel a tiny TINY bit bad for those awesome sites who’ve long maintained archives of public domain literature (Gutenberg, C.U.T., and this UK library to name a few), because now they’ve got some serious competition. But at the same time, now they don’t HAVE to maintain those libraries. They probably weren’t making a lot [...]
OpenOffice to become a native Mac App!!
30-Aug-06Macworld shares the happy OO news. Microsoft Office alternative, OpenOffice, will ship in a native version for OS X next month. You have NO IDEA how happy this makes me. It’s soo difficult for me to run OO on my mac, because NeoOffice and running X11 take up too many resources and slow everything down. [...]
