Taxes. Ugh. Spare me the drama. Tax season is different for everyone. It used to be a good time of the year for me, but this year and last year have been nothing short of craptastic. Most people expect to get a tax refund after they do their taxes. Unfortunately, I’m one of the unlucky [...]
The Apple iPad Hype, in a Nutshell
I usually don’t write about stuff with this much hype, but for some reason, I feel compelled to give my two cents on the subject. I’m not very impressed with Apple’s new tablet, and many others were left underwhelmed as well. The months of rumors and speculation that hyped up the device and set our expectations [...]
Learning Latin

3 Really Bad Microsoft Videos
Oh, Microsoft. For some reason, they have a history of making really bad commercials and promos. There’s something about them that makes them really good at making really bad videos. Some of them are so bad that they’re funny, while others just make you wonder who actually watches this stuff. Here are a few videos [...]
5 Things to Say Goodbye to in 2010
The 2000s was a wonderful decade for technology. It gave us Wikipedia, the iPod, and social networking. It made flat screens flatter and mobile devices more mobile. It fed us the Internet until we became addicted to it, and now it’s a pivotal part of our daily lives. And it taught us that as a [...]
More Pocky Commercials
Remember Pocky? It’s a simple Japanese pretzel snack that my friends and I got into when we were in college. There are several different flavors, and it’s gotten pretty popular over the years. According to wiki, Pocky was first sold in 1966 (wow, I didn’t know it was that old!), and somewhere along the way, [...]
Motorola Cliq FAQ
Merry Christmas Eve everyone! So I’ve noticed lately that ever since I wrote an article on my Motorola Cliq, people have been finding me in their search results. Unfortunately, what I wrote was simply a general review of the device, and so people’s questions were left unanswered. I decided to compile a list of common [...]
24 Things You Can Do with the Web

The Motorola CLIQ
I finally got an Android phone! A few weeks ago, T-Mobile released the Motorola CLIQ, one of Motorola’s newest Android phones. It may not be the the juggernaut that is Verizon’s Motorola Droid, but it holds its own with its social networking features, clean UI, and sliding keyboard. This isn’t a formal review or anything; [...]
The AMV Before Halloween
The last time I posted this, the YouTube video was eventually removed. But now it’s back! This is my favorite Halloween video to watch, so I feel like sharing it with you. Enjoy! And Happy Halloween! ^_^
What’s your personality type?
I’ve been obsessed with personality types lately. You gain such a greater understanding of yourself and others when you realize what forms the basis of those personalities. In college, my friends and I were required to take something called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). This psychological assessment gave us a little more insight into how [...]
Google’s Quotas and Limits
If you’re a heavy Google user like me, you’ll find yourself frequently testing the limits of Google’s free services. After a while, it becomes increasingly useful to know exactly what those limits are. For the sake of my sanity (and for the benefit of others), I’ve decided to a compile a list of where to [...]
Enjoying the New Kindle DX
So I got a Kindle DX last week. I wasn’t sure if I would regret paying the hefty price tag for this slim piece of digital equipment, but I think it was worth it. This thing is awesome. I believe I have a new favorite tech toy.
Free Piano Lessons
Photo by sir_leif Guess what I got for Christmas: A Yamaha YPT-310 Digital Keyboard! I’ve always wanted to learn how to play piano, and now with an instrument to play on, there’s nothing stopping me. Well, there’s still the matter of how to go about learning the piano. What is something free and easy that [...]
A Year Later
Pitiful! Pitiful I say! It’s been almost a year since I’ve updated my website. With the release of WordPress 2.7, I’ve decided to pay more attention to this poor little site. I’ll try to update my site more often. I pay for this site’s hosting every year, so I ought to use it now and [...]
