more (ebay) crazies
Some guy just offered to pay just for the cost of shipping if I sent him the item I was selling since “a new one would not cost more than $20-30.” He was being serious too. What an intriguing offer! I wonder if he has a newsletter… I think I’d like to subscribe.
It’s a computer case, in case anyone was wondering.

Variable Speed Limits
Once GPS is built into every car manufactured, along with a constantly displayed speed limit - which is bound to happen sooner or later - we can instate variable speed limits. Since you can drive perfectly safe above 50mph on most 3-lane highways it would make sense to increase the legal speed limit during offpeak times when there’s no congestion, and decrease it when congestion is high and...

another fun thing about Windows 7
Not that it’s amazing or great or anything, but theme packs are fun (and more importantly, super simple) in terms of changing up the literal theme of your desktop every once in a while:

GUESS THE PRODUCT!
You enjoy a slice of pie from time to time and you even like to kick back, open a bottle of wine, and relax but there’s something about _______________________ that light a fire under you. Maybe it’s the straight-out-of-the-box fit or maybe it’s the easy-to-use BOA’s coiler system. My guess is that it’s both. Nevertheless ____________ channel the lady devil in you and...

Read about these two games on the escapist, and consequently played through them. I love seeing people do unconventional things with games…

Home Multimedia Server
I’m currently running a slim Dell Vostro 220s in my apartment as a low-power 24/7 home server of sorts. It’s also connected to the TV so that my mom could watch Russian movies and TV shows.
Currently it serves only a few functions:
File Server for photos, backups, downloads, and installation files for software and OS
Bittorrent Server
I’ve installed some extra utilities too:

69th Regiment Armory
While walking from Midtown to Downtown after meeting up with Kelly and Jackie from their return trip from Brewster, I saw this strange, almost steampunk-style, building. Apparently it was the 69th Regiment Armory, a national historic landmark, and the setting of such events as the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, according to wikipedia.
I wonder what it’s like...

A Love Letter to UChicago
It fills me up with that gooey sap you feel late at night when I think about things that are really special to me about you. Sometimes I just hunger for more, but I keep that a secret. The mail you send is such a tease; I like to imagine additional words on the page. Words like “you’re accepted” or “you’re awesome!” or “don’t worry, she still loves...

Hipster Photos
I feel bad for the two guys whose photo I took while they were riding on their bikes through williamsburg, because now, when you google ‘hipster douchebag’, it shows up on the first page of photo results.

All the last episode does is make me angry. First it made me sad, and now I’m just angry. So I guess that wasn’t all it did. Blah =(.
