I’m in the market…

March 31st, 2008

For a new laptop.

My requirements are simple:

  • 15.4″ display
  • 1680×1050 resolution or better
  • Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 or better
  • NVIDIA Geforce 8000-series
  • Blu-ray ROM, DVD+/-RW
  • Vista 64-bit, 32-bit is okay if there
  • Bluetooth
  • Webcam

Alot of companies come close (Dell, HP), but none offer the right resolution display. They both over 1680×1050 in 17-inch, but my hella old Dell Inspiron E1505 has a 1680×1050 display at the moment.

Earth Hour!

March 29th, 2008

Take a stand for the environment, and shut off everything from 8 PM to 9 PM local time tonight for Earth Hour. If your laptop has batteries, you can probably keep it on, but shut everything else off. This is a public service announcement. 

EyeWonder SortTable

March 20th, 2008

EyeWonder has been using a modified version of Stuart Langridge’s sorttable for quite some time (since before I started working there). I’ve heavily edited it over the years to fit our needs (faster sorting, handle more types of data, etc…). I originally released it quite some time ago, but here is the latest version:

My Presidential Vote

March 4th, 2008

As many people know, I’m a staunch Republican and an anti-Democrat. However, I’m not voting for McCain. I’m voting for Obama. He is a very good choice for the moderate vote. He is the first Democrat that I’ll vote for, and he’ll probably be the last.

Car Accident

March 1st, 2008

I got into a car accident the other day in Toronto. I’m fine, even then my rear back door is a bit on the dented side. My fiance’s father is going to fix it for $500, labor-inclusive.
