hahahahaha. once again.. i rule

so a week or so ago I went to this party for the chicago thong organization, it was really funny and strange - but my friend chris and I participated in the activities and wore thongs and capes(which was the costume of choice). well later that night we were at a club and one of our friends snapped this really great

stupid electronics…

so I keep breaking my electronics. I just toasted my ipod. stupid ghetto firewire cards. stupid clie.. stupid tivo. I hate you all.. I am tired.

Smart Playlists are my friend

So.. I was playign with itunes (wierd) and I discovered that the ipod generates smart playlists in real time. It RULES so much. I can have a history of songs played. I can have a list of all my highly rated songs. it is so incredibly cool!!!

itunes part 2

So I have been using itunes for around 24 hours now. I have come to the conclusion that we in the PC world are lucky. We have a plethora of software made by a very diverse set of vendors - all of who struggle.. so each product ends up having its own variation on the solution.. they each have unique features.. and eventually one or two products win. The PC software world seems to be based a bit mo…

Last night I went to this electro party. it was OK. it was a HUGE space and their was not enough people to fill it up. However - it was rather well executed and overall it did a good job as a party. my friend Chris DJ’d and that ruled.. but some cats were pissed.. cuz his headphones were similiar to their previously stolen ones. wtf. speaking of headph…

i don’t know what has gotten into me

I have been waking up earlier lately. it is rather strange. I am still a bit late to work(9:10/15), but I am up longer and feel better. weird. maybe it is cuz I don’t go out EVERY NIGHT. heh. umm.. yea.. well I have been workign a lot on this ringtone stuff.. it is fun. but I have to plan a lot to make sure it is robust. stupid robustness. I hate you so much ;). Today I ordered a
