powerbook

So... after seeing Amy's new powerbook I would just like to let everyone know that I would happily take one as a gift... for any occasion...
But seriously, those things are not only beautiful, they are amazingly simple to use. Basically, I don't see much of a reason to get any other laptop...

king arthur and lobster

This has been a great weekend, it started out with dinner at la charreada then a movie with chelsea, becky, and jared. then later we watched king arthur back in our room, which I will add, is an amazing movie.

Today I got up around noon, theen went out and played a game of campus golf (Real clubs, but plastic balls, and the "holes" are trees or benches)

For dinner I went out with Kyle and his family to Red Lobster! THANK YOU KYLE'S DAD!!!

Now we're watching king arther again, it's that good...

Gmail

so if anyone wants a gmail account, just let me know, apparently I have 50 invites...

Also... I didn't ever finish the assessment day posts... I didn't win anything... my roommate however won a --- big pause --- bump in registration... so he gets to register for classes earlier... uh... yeah. So at least I didn't miss too much... I would have enjoyed an ipod though. Oh well.

home

I had a really great time at home this weekend. Between the barbecue ribs and the family, it was a really nice trip.
Also, last week I got the thinkpad's wireless working, which finally makes the laptop truely useful...

okay... I'd better win something...

The bribes got me out of bed at 8:30 this morning...

I went and took the "test" and it was a waste of my time... it really wasn't even a challenge...

so now I have nothing to do all day, because classes are cancelled, and I'm awake and it's not even 10 in the morning yet (normally my classes don't start till 10)

So, all I have to say is this:
I'd better win something... or this will probably turn out to be a wasted day

tomorrow

so tomorrow we don't have classes... instead there are optional tests... and they are bribing us to go with the chance to win an ipod... so I guess I'll go...

and also I was bored and made a wish list at amazon.com

eh...

So, I started working on my ibm ThinkPad 390e again. It's a little old, but it has a new battery and has linux installed and I'm trying to get a wireless card to work. I previously bought an Xterasys card, which works really well with windows... but it has no linux support. So last night I bought a linksys WPC11 card, which is supposed to be supported... So hopefully I'll accomplish my goal of making this computer useful for typing papers and browsing the internet around campus...

so far the total cost has been about $155.00 for everything... but I'll be selling the windows-only wireless card soon... ~$20 probably

but anyway, thats what I've been up to lately...

weekend

I've actually had a really good week... All my classes are going fairly well, and I signed up for a Tri-S trip to Honduras this summer. As for this weekend, I'm probably going to 90's Encore(a show on campus where they sing music from the 90's). Other than that and church tomorrow There's really nothing planned... which I'll enjoy...
