I would post the link to buy it, but the website is in French and it looks like they removed it.

Don’t expect an iTunes/Winamp/Media Player replacement over here. It plays the videos in a ghetto ass java window, and it plays music on your PC in the background (you can’t see it from your computer). Hell you can even install it on your sibling’s computer and mess with him/her.  Anyway, this works well if you’re lazy like me and don’t want to get up.

This app also has a touchpad mode to control your mouse, so you can use it to advance PowerPoint presentations (seems like a waste of phone battery to me, since the screen would need to stay on).

Do I use it all the time? Nope. But it’s something cool to have that works well, especially when I get a new laptop with HDMI out and want to watch stuff on my TV.

Check out gmote.org for more info.

(No screenshot today because I’m lazy. Wanna fight about it?)

PS – what the fuck was that about, the Yankees getting 3 hit off of some no name 25 year old fresh out of AAA? Pathetic.

I probably shouldn't be writing this on boards and then walking away.

D is for dog. Okay, that’s fine.

E is for… Ed? What the fuck is that? Why isn’t E for elephant or something simple? Why the fuck is it for Ed? Who says that dude is an Ed? Maybe he’s a Bob.

F is for… Two children playing, a ball and the sun

H is for hat

I is for Monkey. It took me a few seconds to realize that the monkey was scratching his balls and that I was for itch. Really? How do you draw an itch? ICE CREAM, you shitpiles!

J is for jug

U is for arrow (yes, I know it should be up, but be easier. What ever happened to umbrella?)

V is for car (van? really?)

W is for a cloud blowing shit. How about Watermelon?

X is for Fox? I don’t know about your language, but in English, fox doesn’t start with the letter X, asshole.

Y is for crayon. What about yarn?

Z is for zebra.

And my favorite? K is for Kodak with a picture of a camera (I don’t have the image). I don’t know about you, but I don’t call my camera a Kodak. Therefore, K is not for Kodak you shitfreak! Since when do we start using company names to teach kids the alphabet? K is for fuckin kangaroo or something like that.

For fucks sake, if I were the teacher, I wouldn’t hang this shit on my classroom walls? It’s straight up ignorant.

(This is what I do at 2:18 AM post college. I sit at home and think about how my life sucks. If this were April I would be doing all kinds of fun assed shit. Sigh.)

My laptop: Now 20% more Puerto Rican

This is getting out wayyyy out of hand… I went to pick my laptop up off my desk and the battery fell out. Why? Over time, the clips that held it in place melted from the heat. So in order for it to stay in place, I have to duct tape it on.

So here’s the cumulative list of the ghetto shit wrong with my laptop:

• No sound in 32 bit operating systems without headphones (hardware failure/ no formatting or driver fixes it)
• Right side USB port doesn’t work at 2.0 speeds and is not powered (hardware problem)
• Memory card reader does not work with any driver installed
• Touchpad is physically warn out and jerks the mouse all over the place
• LCD is extremely dim and the whites look yellowed
• LCD has patches of bright light/ wear spots
• Battery lasts 30 minutes
• Ethernet cables do not click in to the port because the cheap plastic locking piece fell off
• Video card: 128MB Radeon Mobility 200m that can’t render 20FPS on normal in Unreal 2004 (which is 6 years old)
• Only 1GB of RAM which runs out daily, plus its shared with the video memory, so I get even less
• No built in mic or webcam
• Thing is absolutely huge
• The black paint over the metal on the speaker grate wore off so you see gray and it looks like crap
• 64 bit cpu is not being taken advantage of (32 bit OS and <3GB of RAM)

I’d get a new one but I really don’t like the options right now.  I have been checking processor and GPU ratings all over the place and can’t find a Sony Vaio, HP or Dell that I like with the components I want in it. It seems that the ones with the good processors have half assed video cards and the ones with good video cards have crappy processors.

Fuckin A.

Romeo was released in 1997 (after Nowell’s death) off the album Second Hand Smoke, which  consisted of half assed, recorded but never released material. I was setting up a computer lab with Pandora running when this came on, and it stuck in my head.

Props to the chill ass non-distorted guitar solo at 3:05

This laptop is a workhorse though. I don’t know how it keeps chugging along after I abused the shit out of it for 4.5 years: full CPU load for days at a time, no sound without headphones (hardware problem), I haven’t shut it off since 2006, it made it through college, so there was definitely beer spilled on it at some point, etc. I mean jeez. As much of a piece of crap this thing is, it won’t die. And as long as it semi-works, why should I buy a new one if I don’t like the half assed graphics cards that are being used. Might as well milk this to the holiday season and wait for discounts / new technology to come out.

(Half the time I have my laptop on my desk with a mouse, but when I’m on the go, it’s useless and painful to use)

In addition, I scheduled that post for tomorrow but somehow it published now.  Obviously, I have no idea what I’m doing with WordPress.* I’d say it was kind of a good mistake though, because if it published while I was at work and away from my computer, I wouldn’t have noticed how stupidly wrong I was.
