Underground data center to help heat city →
A new computer data center is being built underground so the excessive heat that is coming off the computers can be funneled into a pipe and used to heat the city.

An article I recently wrote for TUAW about a guy who blew up the iPhone app icons and is now selling them as “high resolution coasters”. For $20. Yeah.

Movies I've Watched While Home
Since I’ve been sick, and have literally 450 channels, I’ve been watching a lot of movies (both by choice and by necessity). The following:
School of Rock
Saving Private Ryan
50 First Dates
Jingle All The Way
Santa Clause
The Pacifier
The Game Plan
The Guardian
Home Alone
If you add that all up, it equals 10 billion hours of movie watching. Glad I’m finally starting to...

CHRISTmas
Totally agree. “Happy Xmas” is ridiculous looking and sounding.

HEY i remembered a pet peeve of mine just now
I don’t like it when people call christmas XMAS, it bothers me. I realize not everyone believes in the christian faith that is fine, power to the people, but this holiday was made for CHRISTMAS, so even if you don’t believe it, it is just the correct thing to...

I Mean, It's Wet Now
Cop: Excuse me, what are you eating? I just saw you put something in your mouth.
Guy: Uhh, nothing.
Cop: What do you mean nothing? It looks like marijuana.
Guy: I mean...uhh...it was marijuana but like, it's wet now so I can't like smoke it or nothin' so it's not really like a drug now.
Warm Me Up
Sometimes when I’m really cold, I welcome how warm my Macbook gets. Keep up the good work Apple/Intel.

About New York City's Christmas Tree
I was just watching this thing on the news about the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. Apparently, this year the tree is a bit different than it has been in the past.
LED Lit. The lights on the tree are high-efficiency LED lights that use only 30% of the power that a regular lightbulb or christmas tree light would use.
Solar Powered. Those high-efficiency bulbs are powered entirely on the...

I have 1,512 liked posts. I “like” something when it stands out or is something I want to look back on one day when I’m browsing through all the other posts I’ve saved. All it takes for Lauren is a mildly cute puppy, kitty or any kind of food or any picture of anyone from any TV show she’s ever watched.
It’s a sickness.

Class Conundrum
I hate how vague class descriptions are. For example, I’m currently enrolled in an Economics course. Based on the description, which said something to the effect of “Introduction to basic economic models, open-forum discussion on policies and the way people think about the economy” I half-expected a really engaging and exciting class that flew by because we were busy talking...

Addicted?
Dad: Did you smell that shop? I don't know how they're not always high in there.
Me: Yeah, it was pretty bad. What was the smell?
Dad: I think it was the paint they use. Talk about being addicted to the stuff.
Me: Addicted to the knife? Addicted to the knife?
Dad: Wait..what?
Me: Ugh, nevermind. Yet another pop culture reference totally wasted on you.

Sweeter Deal!
So yesterday I had the bright idea to impulsively purchased a Dell Mini 10v netbook. Well, I cancelled the order and got something even better. I decided having a second laptop, however small, would be totally redundant and Mac would get jealous.
I thought it might be cool to see what else was on sale and ended up finding a really awesome gaming desktop that was actually not that expensive.

Sweet Deal!
I never though I’d see the day… but I bought a Dell. GASP!
Anyway, I heard about this Black Friday deal on the Dell Mini 10v netbook computer and it was just too good to pass up. This netbook normally goes for something around $600 which puts it in the “Too Expensive, Too Unnecessary” category.
One of my blogging buddies over at TUAW, wrote up this awesome post about how...
Essentials
Mom: I know we don't have a lot of food in the house, I'm going shopping on Friday but is there anything essential that you need me to pick up?
Me: Cupcakes.
Mom: I said essential. I was looking more for milk, juice, I don't know, bread.
Me: Grilled cheese.
Mom: That college education sure is doing the trick.
