Citidiots Return.
angelinaaaax:
They’re inhuman, they’re rude, and they are obsessed with their platinum American Express card. The citidiots we call them, on Eastern Long Island. Well,” who are these foul creatures I describe,” you might ask! They are the residents of expensive New York City penthouses who venture out to the Hamptons on the weekend! They feel that they’re better than everyone else, and...
Synopsis of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill →
So, I’m a guilty ignorant American citizen that was really busy at the time of the initial explosition and the beginning of the oil spill that followed. Days later I saw something about it on the news and said to myself “Wow, that’s still happening?”. Once I realized it was monumental, history-changing news I figured it was within my best interests to actually learn about...

MobileMe Mail Beta
So I just officially got invited to the MobileMe Mail beta that was announced by Apple a week or so ago. I didn’t think it would happen that quickly, but I’m glad it did. Overall, the new mail web application is a welcome improvement. It’s snappier, much easier to use and there’s not much “beta” about it.
The look and feel is very nice. There are three...
MySlice to get slightly less ugly →
Looks like Syracuse University’s ITS department will be doing an overhaul on the MySlice system. It’s definitely a step in the right direction but before I saw the preview image, I had a totally different idea of what it would look like.

A few iPad applications I'm REALLY waiting for...
So, there was that initial surge of “HD apps”, universal versions of applications and iPad-only versions of some of the applications we all know and love. But now there’s a lull and I haven’t seen anything really remarkable in the App Store in a few weeks.
Some of the iPad applications I’m looking forward to:
Facebook. Okay, even with all the rumors of Apple...
So I read this thing in Cosmo...
Lauren: So I read this thing in Cosmo...
Lauren: Wow, I just literally heard your brain shut off when I said Cosmo.
Me: ...
Lauren: Like it does every time I say the word Cosmo.
Me: Well, I'm glad you can recognize it.
Construction to begin soon on SU's Connective... →
If you go to Syracuse University, this is kind of a big deal. Looks like the construction plan for the Connective Corridor (a community engagement, bus route, revitalization, design super project) will include converting University Avenue back to a two-way street.
Fuck You, American Express
Okay, I played the game. I got a shitty Amazon.com credit card (which I HATE, by the way) and spent some time building up my credit to a score that is considered “above average”. Then you send me an email and tell me that I should apply for your American Express Green card and I was hesitant.
You wanted me to pay $95.00 a year to join the special “Oh, I’ll put it on my...

The Next MobileMe Mail. Now in Beta. →
This is pretty exciting. If there’s one thing that I don’t really love about MobileMe, it would have to be the odd web interface. Don’t get me wrong, it’s gorgeous and you can “technically” do a lot with it, but it lags and just isn’t conducive to quickly checking email or something like that - at least not as much as say, Gmail or something.
Hopefully...

Hello
So it turns out that some people actually do read my blog. I haven’t been around a lot lately - mostly because it’s the end of the semester and I stretch myself far too thin almost always. At any rate, there have been plenty of times when I’ve thought “oh, I should put that on Tumblr” and never get around to it.
Anyhoo, I think I cooked up a new theme and that plus...
