  • How many movies have you seen this year?

    This question was posed on Hacking Netflix because Becky just blogged how she has watched 200 already this year. My count so far was 96. In comparison, I only watch about 3 shows on TV a week totalling about 2.5 hrs on TiVo, and I have been to the theater about 3 times. That would…

  • MSN Messenger Song Info

    A cool new feature of MSN Messenger is to display what you are currently listening to. Tools > Options > Personal > “Show song information from Windows Media Player as a personal message” I discovered this while listening to music in iTunes. I then tried in Winamp to no avail. Go Figure. [Listening to: Labor…

  • New Lens, More Cat Pics

    I finally broke down and bought a faster (works better in lower light) Nikon lens. Here are some pics I took in my lower light apartment:

  • Pokia Retro Phone

    I am so gonna get one of these for my cell phone.

  • Just Because

    I had my camera out to take other pic’s and I couldn’t resist.
