How to wash dishes in an office
This also applies to shared apartment sinks when your roommates are messy :)
marco:
Stack as many dishes, glasses, and mugs in the sink as you can get to fit in it. Be sure to include as much leftover food as possible, especially if it came from the ocean. There should be no more than 1 inch of clearance between the top of the stack and the faucet’s opening.
Saturate the sponge, then hide it...

Sounds good to me.
I would say the legislature is doing just fine… I get fair rights but that shouldn’t cause the sacrifice of morality…
marco:
I’m proud to say that I live in New York. I love it here, and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
But that’s despite the state government, not because of it. The New York state government has always been dysfunctional and ineffective. This is...

This post makes a very good point and apparently the internet agrees…. I originally read this post on my iPhone Tumblr app when he first typed it up and now I have seen it reblogged and linked on several sites on the web. It keeps showing up in my life so it must be pretty interesting to the rest of the world if it showed up on http://www.oursignal.com !

Live Mesh - beta
I came across Windows Live Mesh a bit ago when searching for free alternatives to MobileMe (me.com) that is provided by Apple sung to the tune of $99 a year. While MobileMe is a seamingly complete and polished product that many people are very pleased with, it was out of my current tech budget of $0. I was therefore left searching the net for what I thought would be the next best thing. I then...
PowerBook G4 TearDown Part One
Tomorrow I will begin the teardown and harddrive replacement of the aforementioned Mac PowerBook G4 so I thought I should post some before pictures for reference and I will also be posting more pictures throughout the process. I’ll try to be as detailed as possible and *tag* any problems or points of interest someone else may gain from this experience!

Subway gadget survey
Found this searching around and thought they made some interesting observations!
marco:
I ride the New York subway every day, and I see a lot of trendy gadgets. New York consumers tend to adopt portable technology early and are much less price-sensitive than most of the country. (Our cost of living is so much higher that nationally constant prices are comparatively low — $300 was two weeks’...
PowerBook G4
I recently obtained a 12in PowerBook G4 and I was impressed by its speed and ease of use, and that is despite the fact it is running “Panther” on a PowerPC CPU and not the spiffy new Intels. In my opinion it is a nice little laptop that would be a good contender for a netbook if it didn’t weight as much as my 15.4 inch dell. But nevertheless is was a sturdy easy to use computer,...

I started my day off right, waking up at 10:06 when my class started at 10… That’s ALWAYS a good day! Then when speech rolled around I was sooo nervous for NO reason, so of course I fit a 6 minute speech into 3… But all was not lost, I got a sympathy B+… YAY! Also if anyone ever wants to buy me anything a digital video camera would be SWEET! Now all I need is an income to...

College Life
It has been an interesting experience last semester and especially this semester adapting to two completely different schedules back and from on days of the week and then again on the weekends. Mondays and Wednesdays I don’t have to get up till 12 because my first class is at 1:30 and that is as late as I will let myself sleep. While on Tuesdays and Thursdays I get up at 9 or 9:30 to make...
Inaugaration
I’m sitting her watching Obama speak after witnessing a 4 minute opening prayer… I think prayer is very VERY important… but what can you possibly say in 4 minutes you can’t say in 1?
I am also anxious to see if what Obama says he is going to do is actually going to happen or if he will simply fall short of expectations. He is sure hyping everything up now lets see if he...
Snow!
Hey guess what?!
We now have almost an inch of snow and we are supposed to have 1.5 to 2 inches by tomorrow morning!
If you know me then you know I love snow… it is one of my favorite things in the world! I just love walking around in the snow and if you want to see something cool wait until its dark and shine a bright light into the air and walk away while its snowing hard and you can...
Chat Test
John: Does this allow people to respond?
Me (also John): No actually it is just to share a conversation you had with someone else!
John: That is strange but I guess in rare cases could be useful!
Me (also John): who cares as long as its fun!
John: Right you are!

Cool site!
I just stumbled on to this site like I do a lot of things… wandering around the internet in my spare time as always later at night when Kayla is sleeping… I figured I would hop on and see what I can make with it… I have never had a blog before so things could be boring… or they could be interesting… I have yet to see what I can make of this… maybe a site to show...
