Computer Stuff

I found this on Digg, apparently it was on a forum somewhere. Funny stuff…

Woot!

There’s a new “Random Link of the Week” up, for the first week in a long while…

I found out about this site at work. They have a great deal once a day; always worth a quick look.

Firefox 2.0!

It’s here and I’m so excited! So far it’s running well, even faster thank 1.5 I think.

Too busy

I think this is going to be the theme of the semester. I had a midterm on Tuesday, a huge math test yesterday, another midterm next Wednesday, and two papers due next week. I get Monday off, which will be used almost solely to get all of this work done

On the good side of things, I’ve been getting to see Kim a lot lately, under good and bad circumstances. It’s nice to go through both together though.

I thought this was funny.

Jon Bracy and I are working on the new Cru website. He’s doing the coding (major skills + free time). It’s coming along nicely.

Kim and I are going to see David Crowder Sunday night in Binghamton, NY. We’re both really excited about that. Thanks to Anne for letting us know.

One more piece of big news, the new season of Gilmore Girls is underway!

Zune

Right after Apple announced their new iPods two days ago, Microsoft just announced the specs of their new player dubbed Zune. The “cool” aspect is the built in wireless for sharing music and videos with your friends. I think they look cool, maybe not in the brown shown here, but I’d like to see one up close. I doubt it’s worth the ~$300 dollars it will cost; not for me anyway. (Neither is an iPod for that matter; I’ll keep using Kim’s old mini.)

Memories of Summer

To test out some changes I made to my blog software, I needed to post some images. So… here’s two from the summer. Don’t ask why Kim was at the drive-thru on foot

Kim conquers the wild underbrush!

We drove off without Kim’s breakfast! Naturally we watched and took pictures.

You should all know I love digg. It’s a news site (mostly tech and oddball stuff) that lets users submit stories and decide which ones make it to the front page. Like Slashdot, it has a tendency to kill web servers.

I was browsing last week and came across this cool site that is featured as this week’s Random Link of the Week. Enjoy!

Operating on Kim’s iPod

Dan — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 16:27:57 +0000

I got a page up for the operation I did on Kim‘s iPod. The guts were pretty cool, and hard to get back together. The process was a lot harder than the website claimed it would be, but still worth it in my opinion. I’ve got more details on the page itself.

Kim posted about the Big News. I won’t elaborate here either, but I’m making calls telling people who deserve to hear it in person.

The guys at work were excited though

Everyone’s really supportive, it’s been great.

Next week Kim will be at the YoungLives camp in the Catskills helping out. It should be a good experience for her relating to Social Work (her new major for those who don’t know). Kim will be working with the kids of a teenage mom so she can attend camp activities and such.

Dan Fails :(

I had a job this morning, but 2 hours into it the thing was still broken. Hopefully Josh will have more luck.

I had more success with Kim’s iPod last night. I replaced the battery, which turned out to be harder than advertised, oh well. It works now. I have some pictures, but I have to get them off Sara’s camera.

In-between reading artiles about the events in the Middle East, I’ve been checking out a new thumbnail/image gallery for my blog. Here’s some cool pictures!
