Just ordered a Dell Mini 9 to Hackintosh. Been disappointed with my Mini 12. Will be selling it.
dude I ordered one to Hacintosh today as well. Sweet! Moral support down the road FTW.
I still need an external ODD, an OS X disc, and RAM. I bought it with 512mb, and am getting a 2 gig stick on Newegg.
This is my ghost, speaking.
Today while driving home from the bank I wished that Mc Donald’s delivered.
Then I purposefully flipped my car over the guard-railing and into a ditch, killing myself so that the idea would never be further spoken or acted on.
Wait a minute. . .
Just now while discussing who would win in a battle royale scenario I realized that Jack Bauer, Jason Bourne and James Bond all have the same initials.

I know the Kindle content is driving you all away but just one more.
I heard the sample of the Text-to-speech function and it sounded like typical grating robot voice. I intended never to use it, however someone just said that it sounded pretty OK so I checked it out. It takes about 30 seconds to get used to, and after that it is actually nice. The robotic droning of the guy fades away, it...
Sweet.
Just appended my last post from the Kindle web browser. Tumblr looks good. You can’t directly post because it doesn’t let you click on the pictures for Text Photo etc. BUT you can reblog something and add text.
Also, as I had suspected, the sample chapters I had ordered before it arrived were already on the device.

My Kindle 2 has just arrived. Video of the unboxing (in which something hilarious happens) is uploading now. Will post shortly.

James Gutierrez: No it isn't.
James Gutierrez: It's the truth.
Me: Well Jane Austen would have hit that
James Gutierrez: We all know that Jane Austen was a lesbian but we don't need to discuss that.
Like I do
James Gutierrez: Oh, well, you should read the novel.
Me: Sometimes I wonder if my old elementary school classmates on Facebook look upon my now grandiose life and weep.
Me: weep softly to themselves
Me: Like I do when I look at their Facebooks
creepy.
This is the first time I’ve heard Gina Trapani’s voice. I dig it.

The veterinarian who works at my work is in her early 30’s and she’s, like, da biggest nerdface. I enjoy her. She wears a cellphone belt clip with the batman logo on it and she always comes in with a stack of Sci-Fi fantasy books. The kind where instead of a shirtless cowboy on the front cover, there’s a shirtless space cowboy on the front cover. I always see her when she’s...
Work called me (probably to ask me to come back to work). Silly. I barely wanted to go to work the first time. Why would I go back to that place.
Not Really
Sometimes when I’ve been excited for something for a very long time and then suddenly I wake up and the excitement for it is gone I think maybe that I am actually from the future and have just woken up from traveling back in time but can’t remember that I’ve traveled back in time because I haven’t done it yet, however the brief sense of knowing what something is like has...
WatchThis is my favorite event from the Rodeo, Steer Wrestling, or, as I like to call it, Jump On a Little Cow.
A cowboy jumps off of a horse and onto a moving steer, twisting its neck in an attempt to flip it over in the least amount of time. (3 seconds would be a formidable score)
The best part of it is after the wrestle is finished. The cow and boy each get up and walk away in different...

The case of the package and the name
So I get the number 4 at Chick-fil-a. I’ve only recently discovered it and I like it a lot more than their regular sandwich. The first few times I ordered, it came with a packet of some kind of sauce; the name of which I, unfortunately, didn’t commit to memory. A few times later I ordered it again, and there was no sauce packet. OH NO! That sauce is essential. Sure the sandwich is good...
I use a big red exercise ball as my desk chair.
mashburger:
And just then, I rolled it towards myself, planning on sitting down as it got close enough - which would stop the ball rolling. Unfortunately I’m in a towel because I just got out of the shower, and a temporary.. ‘malfunction’ of said towel occured. By the time I’d fixed it and went to sit down on the ball, it had rolled past me. Leaving me pretty much on the floor.

Little did you all know that I have actually been beta testing the Queue feature for Tumblr and that every post I have ever made is from March 2007. I’ve actually only logged into Tumblr once.

I just noticed that Amazon has a little “Send to Jacob’s Kindle” button on the side of the books that I look at now. It wasn’t there before, and my Kindle won’t come for another week; but they do activate them for you so that all you have to do is turn it on. Right now I’m sending sample chapters to a Kindle I haven’t recieved, hoping that they will be on...
I need some kind of stasis chamber à la Daredevil or Wanted, that will heal my injuries after fighting crime work.

Thank you for the awkward and cute Valentine, whokilled. I smiled. In class. While we were talking about extinguishing Aboriginal rights.
Did I never tell you how much of a playa Who Killed? is?
That’s him there.
How many Russians?
James Gutierrez: About how many Russians equal you?
James Gutierrez: Like... if you had to fight an army of Russians, how many can you kill before they kill you?
Me: Are we considering any russian here?
James Gutierrez: The general Russian Russian.
Me: I need figures. What is the population of Russia?
James Gutierrez: *sigh*
Me: 140,702,096
Me: that's the pop
Me: ok now let me do the math. 14% of russians are 14 or under. 14% of russians are 65 and older. 40% of russians are in poverty, and we can also assume malnourished.
Me: So. .40+.14+.14=0.68
Me: .68*140,702,096 = 95,677,425.28
Me: That's how many russians I'm equal to
Me: (or greater than)
