Haha, now this is good. Here's somebody talking about the upcoming war between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD:

"Now we are engaged in a great format war, testing whether the next generation of packaged entertainment ... can long endure. We acknowledge that the great battlefield of that war is not here, but across the Pacific. ... Yet, retailers call for the elevation of compromise over conflict and a future for all behind a unified format. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this."

For a while now, I've been thinking about getting a new iPod. Mine's over two years old and it's running better than ever now that I put a new battery in it. But, the 30GB of space is not enough for me now that I'm officially a music snob.

It's in a networking magazine, but it's even more proof that I want to go to Cedar Point in Ohio. Not only does the roller coaster top 400 feet, but it uses a large computer to figure out exactly the speed it should launch at so that you get the most enjoyable ride. Of course, that's not the only reason I want to go because it's The Roller Coaster Capital of the World.

I just have to give a big shout-out to Sprint PCS for finally getting a much-needed tower up. I have been living in the west end of St. Paul, Minnesota for most of a year now, and here in the southwest corner it's a battle to keep a Sprint connection. I had to practice finding the one spot in my room where I could get a signal. But all those problems are finished.

Will it happen?

According to this news report, on Monday at the WWDC conference in San Francisco, Apple's Steve Jobs is supposed to announce a phased transition to Intel instead of IBM's PowerPC processors. Why the change? Well, one thing I'm suspecting is a lot of money from Intel as a part of the deal.

OK, so for me it's mostly preaching to the choir. I currently don't like hiring people, although I try to be as kind to them as possible because they hold the key to a job. It's not that I hate them personally, I just hate the rules that say that I'm not worth hiring. I just hate the fact that I have to kiss up to them and say exactly what they want to hear, even if it's not true. I'd rather say it like it is, thus we both know what we're getting into.

So, once again, either God or myself have given me a computer challenge. Earlier this afternoon my computer contracted a virus, shut down before I could fix it, and then obviously wouldn't restart Windows. So, now I have the challenge of fixing it. If I knew what the virus was....

Kids, remember never to play around with e-mails that you don't know where they are from. Some will give your computer viruses!

Alright, folks, it's time time. For a couple weeks now I've been trying out Neflix, the original online movie rental company. And, well, so far, it's great.

For $14.96 I get to rent two movies at a time. I can basically rent as many as I can squeeze into a month, for whenver you send them a movie back, they send the next available one in my Queue of movies I want to see. They pay for the postage, and within two days of sending one in, I get a new one. Nice, fast turnaround.
