Grant Drake (of NCoverExplorer note) speaks out about his dislike for Sandcastle. I’ve already voiced my negative opinions on Sandcastle. Months later, I still dislike it. Unfortunately, I’ve been fighting with it for so long that I don’t know if there’s much they can do to address my dislike. There’s a lot of work still to do…
Another in the long line of making yourself into a popular character style… now you can be an M&M character.
Here’s me:
And here’s Jenn:
It’s been a few years since I’ve upgraded the ol’ PC and I’m thinking the next time I do it, I will probably get a laptop. I don’t generally upgrade individual components on my machine - lack of time, money, and energy, you see - and it’d be nice to be able to sit in the living room and watch a little TV or whatever while I’m answering emails and such.
I found the laptop I need this morning:
I’m all about the giant button and arbitrary LED readout. Oh hell yes. Pair this with the self destruction button USB hub and you’re gooooooooooold.
I come across this sort of thing and always feel behind the times.
Google has this 3D modeling program called SketchUp that is apparently already on version 6. I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks like it’s pretty easy to use. It’s no 3DStudio but it’ll do in a pinch. Plus you can then place your 3D model on Google Earth so you can see what it will look like out in the world. Cool!
Lots of change in recent times has brought about some new discoveries and new fun favorite things. Here are a few of the things Jenn and I have gotten into lately.
Panini: My sister and brother-in-law got us an ice cream maker for a
late wedding/Christmas gift, but Jenn and I are too fat already so we
ended up taking it back to Williams-Sonoma to see what else they have we
might need. While there, I saw this
cookbook
and somehow got an insatiable craving for panini. Within the next two
days we got a panini
grill and
are now addicted to panini.
I Love New York: If you thought Flavor of
Love was a
train wreck of global proportions, you have to see the spin-off I
Love New
York. The
contestant we all love to hate is back, and she’s got her own show. I
can’t even begin to describe it, and I can’t tear my eyes off the
screen.
Gears of War: I got this
game for
Christmas and am loving it. I haven’t gotten online yet - I’m waiting
to get through the single player campaign and hone my mad skillz a bit
first - but even the single player campaign is great.
Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy: Jenn and I can’t play games
together because we are far too competitive, but this one seems to
work. I
got it for Jenn for Christmas and it’s hella fun.
