Hurricane Rita

Well, Rita came and went in a hurry. Bryan/College Station was right on the western edge of the rain lines. There were a few sprinkles early this mornin at about 5-ish, but other than that, it was all wind. Feel sorry for New Orleans, who once again had to deal with breaking levies and what […]

I was on the firefox website today, seeing if they had any updates to the browser, and found a link for their Firefox version 1.5 Beta 1 download. If you still haven’t switched (why still use IE?), I suggest you get their latest stable version 1.06. If you’re bored and feel like tryin out the […]

Is My TV Screwed?

Monday, September 5th, 2005

Here’s a pic of my television after I turned it on. I described it to a television shop, and as soon as they heard “the tv dropped” they immediately said that “the shadow mask” was probably damaged and it is unfixable, without even discussing a possible degauze. Now you tell me. Pretend the television never […]
