I love stickers. My sticker books made out of construction paper from childhood have been lost to time and moves, but I still have my giant Lisa Frank sticker holder. It took me a long time to put a sticker on a laptop, but it finally happened with my beloved pink mini9 when my abuse […]

Android Froyo!
July 3rd, 2010 by pleia2
I’ve really been looking forward to the new version of Android on Nexus One, 2.2, Froyo. This is mostly because the latest version gives me the ability to tether, and this makes me and my netbook very happy, but some of the other improvements are pretty sweet too. Last month while I was visiting Google […]

Sorry sweetheart, I haven’t got time for anything else.
June 20th, 2009 by pleia2
Well, it happened again. In spite of saying I’d blog more regularly – I haven’t! I haven’t actually been a hermit every day, either. Going back all the way to the beginning of the month, when my friend MJ was in town we headed down to Philadelphia to see Star Trek at The Franklin Institute […]

May 26th, 2009 by pleia2
I took Blinker over to my mechanic this morning (Scott Smith over at Smith Automotive). It was awesome that he was able to squeeze the repair in this morning and it didn’t cost me a fortune ($35 in labor, $30 for the part, yay I can pay my rent! …I’m only mostly joking). The window? […]

Instead I’m still at my apartment, refreshing the USAir Flight Status page to see when her 6:19PM flight is actually going to leave – right now they estimate it at 10PM, ouch. It was on time when she arrived at […]

I haz stuff out now
November 16th, 2008 by pleia2
This week the power supply on my giant, server class, desktop died. It was a 680W supply, the board requires at least 650W, so it wasn’t going to be cheap to replace. Alas, after about 2 hours of testing I confirmed it was the power supply and had to hit MicroCenter Friday morning. Came home […]
