Unless you don't have a "local" store....because the nearest goodwill is an hour away from here. We do have an awesome junk store that you can get cool stuff for REALLY cheap, it's awesome. :D For instance, I got a sweet old style eggbeater for 25 cents. It's like new as well.

Really? I assumed they were everywhere.

The metal one got one chuckle out of me. It would have received more had the guy been doing the metal horns properly.





THAT'S how it's done. Since Ronnie James Dio was the first person to introduce this sign into metal, the way he does it is the official way. (Fun fact: Dio introduced the symbol when he replaced Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath in 1980. Ozzy would always do peace signs, but Dio didn't want to do the same because he's, "not Ozzy Osbourne, and [he's] not Richard Nixon." So for his sign, he went with one his Italian grandmother used to do to him when he was doing something bad.)


Anyway, enjoy this funny bit of funny:

Buy dollar store fan motors, or go to the local Goodwill and buy up old RC cars. Learning to shop thrifty is a good skill to acquire. (Especially when you're a broke ass dude in your early 20s.)

Close, but not quite. Mainly the upper screen is the system part, and the lower one is he mouse/keyboard etc.

What would the point of that be?

Pretty much your basic netbook (but better >:]), but with a combined mouse pad/keyboard in a touchscreen form. So you have a much wider range of movements and hand gestures than before for ease of access. :D I know they have these out there, but the ones I've seen look more like an iPad and less like a computer. It has some USBs and an SD card slot on the right, and stuff like audio jacks and stuff on the left. I'd get one, but I bet it would be a fingerprint magnet. XD


Thoughts? Suggestions?

So something like this?

Ugh! I'm apparently delinquent on one of my student loans. Why did I say, "apparently"? Because Sallie Mae sold one of my loans months ago without bothering to tell me. When they did this, all of the loan agreements I made were rendered void. So I was apparently supposed to have been making payments on this loan for months now. I only found out because I received a thing in the mail today telling me that I was delinquent.


In conclusion, I hate how loan agreements mean absolutely nothing to the borrower.

Do you have bell-bottoms on frezal?

I think I was wearing cargo shorts.

Next time, take off those horrible shoes when taking a photograph.

Psh! My Vans Bearcats are amazing (though I have a different pair now).

If anyone wants to install the developer's build of Chrome OS, it's on the torrents. You can't directly partition your drive, though. You'll need to download something like Sun Microsystems' Virtual Box (which is free).

Pwn: Hmm...maybe.

Freezul: Oh I thought you meant it had something like a mini-mouse wheel. How would I put that on a watch and wouldn't technically it have the same number of buttons? I'm open to suggestions.

You would have four buttons, but you wouldn't have to always rely on the four buttons. Scrolling could be set to the wheel (as could brightness and such).

The scroll wheel (or click wheel) is a touch sensitive wheel that also clicks like buttons in designated spaces. The iPod Nano and iPod Classic currently use them. All of the iPod Shuffles, save the first gen Fun Dip looking ones, have had the combo USB/headphone jack.

Concerns:
Battery Life-- An internet-capable device draws a lot of power, and something the size of a watch doesn't have room for a big battery. Keeping your watch from dying would be an issue.


Too many buttons-- Perhaps an iPod like scroll wheel could solve this.


Computer Jack (USB?) Unnecessary-- If it's wifi capable, have it sync wirelessly. If not, give it a combined USB-headphone jack like the iPod Shuffle.


App Store-- An app store on a screen that small doesn't seem like it would work too well. Keep in on the home computer.


Wireless Headphones-- Bluetooth Headphones would be a good way to avoid a headphone jack, but would suck even more battery life.

For the record, Lady Gaga is coming to Rock Band on Tuesday. I don't quite understand why, though. Her music has a serious lack of guitar and bass guitar.
