My new Dell 2407WFP 24″ LCD widsecreen flat panel monitor

This monitor is so cool. I can attach my USB mouse and thumb drive to it because it has two USB ports on the side. There are also two other media readers. One of them is a compact flash reader, from which I [...]

Last week I “tried” one of those new Apple iPods with video, a black 80GB model from Fry’s Electronics. On the first morning I was watching a vodcast from Mars Hill Church on the train. I got tired of holding the iPod to watch the video and just put it back in my [...]

Since I was in Minneapolis a day early, I decided to visit the famous Mall of America, the largest shopping mall in the United States. After a nice breakfast downstairs, John and I boarded the LRT at about 9:00 AM. It only cost $2 one way for the 25-minute ride.

My PowerBook G4 is back, arriving earlier this morning. Thank you AppleCare. 1 GB RAM is back! I opened up Photoshop and a file and it appears that my machine is running at its normal speed.

I was pretty mad. I initially thought that after I sent my PowerBook in the first time for the other repair back in October that Apple had swiped the RAM chip out from my laptop (it’s supposed to have 1 GB of RAM). But upon further examination of the properties display, I read that there was a memory failure.

Selling my barely used Apple iSight on Amazon eBay

I’m selling my Apple iSight because I just have no use for it. I’ve barely used it. I’d like to sell it soon because I’m planning to use the money to go towards a new digital camcorder. I know. I know. This [...]

I installed two early birthday gifts onto my PowerBook yesterday, iLife ‘06 and Photoshop CS2. Both arrived in yesterday’s mail as gifts from Josephine and my parents.

Thinking of You

It might be worth the cost just for this capability. Currently, I have forwarded my Gmail there so I can check my personal mail. I can also access Cox email via POP since Cox does not allow forwarding of their mail automatically.

The weirdest thing happened yesterday when I upgraded Firefox to 1.5.0.1. When I dragged the download into my Applications folder, it would not replace the old version of Firefox. So I moved the old one to the Trash and then the new installed just fine. So when I went to empty the trash, it would not empty.

Apple’s switch to using Intel’s dual core processors is already shaping up to be a providential, profound, and profitable move for the computer technology artist company. According to Steve Jobs, “These things are screamers.”

I started work on my next video project. A couple of weeks ago I had Pourpa purchase a copy of Final Cut Express HD at the UCLA Student Store for me. So when I imported my video clips, I was amazed at how complex the working canvas was for Final Cut. So much to my chagrin, I decided to uninstall all of the components for Final Cut because it’s just too complicated for me to learn right now. And I have no motivation to spend hours playing around with 20 different parameters for each element in a frame just to make a digital movie.

At first I ordered an Ice Frame case for my iPod Nano almost a month ago. However, last night when I got an advertisement about the new iSkin, I changed my mind. Fortunately, my previous order has not shipped yet, nor had my payment been charged. So I was able to cancel my order and get this coolness instead.

Last night I got about six hours of sleep so I’m almost caught up from the one hour from the night before. My re-install of the PowerBook is pretty much complete. I have to reconfigure my FTP sofware, resubscribe to my RSS feeds in NewsNetWire, and redo all my smart playlists on iTunes so I can put some tunes on the Nano. And last but not definitely not least, I have a ton of pictures to process from the Oregon State game and the Miramar Air Show.
