@AdamLeahey probably drink it and quickly regret it
Dear Internet: What's the absolute cheapest, worst bourbon available? Don't worry, it's for science.
@ConstantineXVI: I'd say Wamu if it existed anymore. It was great when I had them in Cali, free checks and a good web site
@ConstantineXVI: oh, herf derf, just got the "getting shot at" remark :P
@ConstantineXVI: never heard of it... don't know too many people in the military though
@androidcentral: also, the Epic is $199 on Amazon with no rebates, but it's still showing as a "pre-order"
@ConstantineXVI: not sure about the first requirement, but I've yet to be shot at Chase
@ConstantineXVI and if I'm going to start a new series, I'd like to have it all on my Kindle...

Dragon’s Back
Today, Fedex dropped off my new ASUS RoG Extreme II motherboard, to replace the one that was consistently overheating. Amazingly, I hadn’t lost any of the hardware since I took the computer apart a couple weeks ago. I installed Windows … Continue reading
Macbook Pro
So, I finally got my offer letter from VMware and started looking a little more seriously at new laptops. As I mentioned earlier, I’m interested in the 13″ Macbook Pro, however with Core i7 Mobile coming out in (supposedly) the … Continue reading
More Server Consideration
I discovered a positive development for both server options today: First, the Q9400s, a lower power version of the Q9400 which would work better in the SFF case. Secondly, I learned that I can boot to a software RAID1 setup, … Continue reading
A Question of Power
By now, Cervantes (my webserver) is starting to get pretty old. While it still performs it’s basic functions decently, I’m wanting to move to a RAID setup to prevent data loss due to a hard drive crash. While I do … Continue reading
Wacom Bamboo in Ubuntu 9.04
Today I got my Wacom Bamboo USB Tablet in from Newegg. Installation in Jaunty was incredibly easy, I just plugged it in and the Wacom drivers were already installed and ready to go. The corners of the tablet automatically mapped … Continue reading

I'm going to try to refrain from buying computers for a while
Core i7 is out, so needless to say I’ve been lurking on Newegg even more than usual lately. As much as I’d love to build the new uber-machine, on some level I realize that I don’t really need it. With … Continue reading
Small, personal web servers
I recently helped my roommate shop for a small, personal web server. We wound up basing it on Intel’s Atom platform, and I was amazed at how cheap it was. The server (pictured above) came up to almost exactly $200, … Continue reading
Mmmm… Upgrade?
I’m waiting to hear back on a post I made over at Hardforum, but I think I’m going to pull the trigger on some upgrades pretty soon. For just $320 (after a $40MIR) I can get 4GB of DDR2-800, a … Continue reading
