This is a blog dedicated to not having a theme. So there's most likely a little bit of something for everyone. Enjoy yourself and may all your computer journeys be merry ones.

LOVELY SPRING BREAK
Now that its spring break, im taking it easy finally, ive been looking forward to this break since christmas. So id thought id find a good way to spend my time. What could be better than playing games on your computer. Correction, playing games and listening to music. I cant think of anything much better. I have digger, alleycat, clear magic (an excellent game for geeks), 4 different tetris games, and much much more. (Man, im beginning to sound like a sales person or something). I added today an excellent find, in my opinion, some classics. Its a bundle of games like pacman, tetris (yeah its another tetris, make that 5), pong, Asteroids, Snake, and Space Invaders. Best part its small, 500kb, (i didn't have to wait an hour to download) should be good for a couple hours of fun. Maybe even some memories retold by those who are over the age of 30. Pong will definitely not challenge anybody's graphic card. Im just an ordinary guy playing pong, got a problem with that. Actually, pong is very frustrating because, u can never win, i wasnt even able to get a point. But anyways its been fun. if u want to get it. check it out here.

Have a great spring break everyone.

This keyboard is so nice. I must say, i've never typed on anything as nice. Im going to think that any other keyboard, is a peice of junk or (insert word describing something bad). I now enjoy typing. I really like things that have more than one use. Look at the the straight head screw driver, it has two uses, one to turn screws, and second an excellant pry bar. (hey i couldnt think of a better example of multi-use item.) Thats why i like this collection of 91 solitaire games. Yep that's right 91 of them. I have no idea what some of them have to do with solitaire. But it's pretty cool. (thought of better multiuse item-swiss army knife, too late now, i dont want to backspace) Im not a solitaire freak or anything, let's just get that straight. I mentioned that its free, right?

dont get addicted

I’m feeling pretty good right now. I better go buy a lottery ticket. Probably wont let me, not 18. I’m feeling pretty lucky if there is such a thing. Remember when i told u that the keyboard i just got wouldnt work with this pc i have. It says on the box it not compatible with my version of windows. So i gave up on trying to get it to work. Boy was i wrong. I plug it in and now its working just fine. Put in the batteries. I may have needed to install some drivers. But i scraped that. No need. It wouldn’t let me anyways. So whatever. This keyboard and mouse is awesome. I love that word. This is a good day.
May all your computer journeys be merry ones. (like mine)

Man that was some weekend. I went to winnipeg and went shopping. Shopping of all the things i do is one thing i hate most. But it wasnt too bad sometimes. I did enjoy shopping at some places. Like best buy that place is awesome. Our stereo in our van wasnt working so we got a new one there. It's mp3 and cd-r compatible. Should be good I think. better than tape id say. We could have spent 900 bucks on one system. It had and nice lcd screen. a 10 gig harddrive. so u can store some music on it. That was pretty cool but a little out of our price range. We went with one that was about a fifth of that price. It rained like all day saturday. Actually winnipeg broke a record of most rain that comes down in one day. The old record was set way back in 1865. That was cool. I was a part of history. Well kinda. I realy want a new pc now. My 200 mhz processor will never be as fast as a 3 ghz one. (cool fact the new pc's out right now are 15 times faster than mine) A 3 ghz processor would be awesome. Awesome didn't i say that already. Gotta show variety. Better use some other word like great or astounding. Got a wireless keyboard and mouse too. It was a good price too. I mean 30 bucks that was a good deal for a complete package. The regular price was 75. Seen for over a 100 at other places. The only problem is it wont work on this pc im using right now. Too bad. But it will urge my dad to get a new pc. Well that's about it. All in all it was a good weekend.

Have a great day.

Tek Time
Hey i found a cool way of showing what i do on my comp. It's real easy. everyone knows of that print screen button. Now i have a use for it. U can take screenshots of whatever's on your screen. At least theoratically. It may not work with everything. Like ur high performance game or that video editing prog U are running. Not. I don't run anything like that. But u might have some problems. I got one of my screenshots up at click here. Just click hey check this out link. I did i little touchup. i dont have a color scheme that looks like that. Im running in this screenshot: emule (something like kazaa), msn messenger (going to sign in), winamp(playing my midi collection), word (just in case i find something interesting online and want to copy and paste), myie (a high performance internet explorer). Not all the apps are shown, but they were all running. Emule is on the taskbar as well as messenger. U may notice i made a toolbar up on top. This is an excellent subsitute for having a hundred shortcuts on your desktop half of which do not work. Enjoy the screenshot. It is my definition of multitasking. It will fit quite nicely on a desktop with a resolution of 800 by 600.

Have a great day and may all your computer journeys be merry ones.

Thought Makers
Why are the things this way? Why does it have to be like this? How come it's gotta be this way? But I thought u said? Why? Why? Why?

We all questions. My goal isn't to have to answer each one. My goal is to not ask them at all. To be all trusting. To know that all things work together for good.

Looking for something to do check out this site.

Hey check this out u can now make comments. This is real cool. Just click that comment button on any of my blogs. And enter in your own stuff. You don't have to listen to me go on and on. Now that's interactive. Too bad we couldn't be a bit more multimedia oriented. With pictures and movies and sounds and and and. Dream on. I guess. I'll have to be content with just good old text.

OK folks those last two posts were just some things I was thinking about this weekend. Their My thoughts. Thought makers I like to call them. But anyways, I finally have my OWN bedroom. And now I have all this stuff up on my walls. It’s been up there for as long as I can remember. These aren’t posters of your favorite bands or skateboarder. These are dumb things. I’m not going to go into details. I was wondering does anybody have any ideas of what I should do to replace the stuff. Like what should I put up on my walls. SEND ME YOUR THOUGHTS AT FREEINDEED33@HOTMAIL.COM. I want to know what you think. Let me have some input. Tell me what you have up on your walls. Give me some ideas.

Update
You remember that really good deal on that cd-burner. Turns out that the memory needed for this computer is really expensive. I mean expensive. I need a kit of memory. One kit runs for about $137. It could also be possible that I need two of these kits. Now I almost could get a computer for that much.

Do you ever get it when…
You have a real in-depth conversation with another person. This is more than just shooting the breeze with your friends and talking about the weather with your grandparents This is more than just talking about something sensitive with a group. This is between you and another talking just talking. Nothing withheld, nothing to be afraid of. Asking questions. ‘What do you think of this?’ Nobody is trying to show off just trying to talk. Now that’s a conversation worth talking about.
Or
You do something you know wrong but you do it anyways. You don’t really know why you do it. But you just do it. You ask yourself. Why? Did I have to do that? This is a situation that we’ll all find ourselves in.

Some ways to freak yourself out when on the internet.

1. Look up hacking when on google or when on Kazaa. It's a real eye opener!!!

2. Check out the new viruses at sarc.com There's about one new every week.

3. See how out of date your comp is or how out of date your antivirus is.

May all your computer journeys be merry ones.
