soapbox

Ever wondered how the Zune stacks up to the iPod?  Well, here is definitive proof, but it was close… the iPod won 3-2 with two ties.  Sorry i know it’s old (from March) but still funny and I have MSFT on the mind.

Jobs likes “Boom”.

College hockey season is almost here. A big highlight will be right here in Hanover for the Ledyard Bank Tournament with Dartmouth hosting Boston University, North Dakota, and my alma mater St. Lawrence. I’m excited for that one already! First home game of the season is October 27th versus Harvard with Vermont coming to town the next evening. Hooray Hockey! Hooray Beer!

I usually figure that when you go to the bathroom, the goal should be 1) get in 2) do your thing 3) get out. Sometimes, however, you have to spend a few seconds realizing what other people are doing around you.

For instance, just 30 seconds ago, I was minding my own business until I realized that the procedure I had just heard was 1) wash hands 2) get paper towel and dry hands 3) zip up pants 4) buckle belt. I’m very very glad that I didn’t turn around to find out that step 2 might have involved more than just drying hands.

This is for the super lazy, since Dashboard links to them, but still…

for me, and Nathaniel, and anyone else with arcane knowledge:

Dot Com that is.  Enjoy.

While I’m posting nerdy stuff, I’ve got some questions for people with experience using iLife and LaTex in OSX. I have tried to get LaTex to work on my machine, but I am convinced I am retarded and it refuses to cooperate. Forget where I got it from, but I guess the installation instructions etc were unclear.

As for iLife, do people have positive feelings? Thought it could be cool to build websites the lazy way (simple code is fine, but trying fancy things gets annoying with text). Just not sure if it’s worth the $40 if I’m just going to screw around with it, and not necessarily use it …
