New Phone

I picked out my new phone last night and it’s supposed to arrive sometime next week.  I took advantage of AT&T’s 3-day free Pantech Matrix offer.  I’m getting the red one.  It’s a pretty cool phone, although I’ve never had a Pantech.  I like the slide out keyboard, even though I rarely text on my [...]

The Good and the Bad, Mostly the Bad

After a few weeks of not having much to blog about, I all of a sudden have quite a few things to blog about.  I’m just going to put them in one entry to make my life easier.
I woke up today to the lovely sound of my phone making a crackling noise that sounded somewhat [...]

The Life Was Sucked Out of My Phone

My cell phone is constantly being made fun of by my friends and family alike, due to its age.  I have had it for over three years now and I have not used my free upgrade.  Why?  Two reasons.  Number one being that there are pictures on it that I have no possible way of [...]

The New iPhoto

Well, it’s not really new since it’s been around since Leopard came out, but it’s new to me.  I hate iPhoto on Leopard.  Yes, it has some cool features like face recognition and stuff, but it’s not cool enough to make me like it.  I was not expecting it to be that different from Tiger’s [...]

Well, That Figures

My sister has a Garage Band addiction and often asked me if she could use my laptop to play around with it.  Since I now have a new MacBook, she asked if she could use my old iBook.  I let her.
As she was using it, the screen inevitably turned white.  It did this a few [...]

They’re Here…

My new MacBook and iPod Touch, that is.  They were supposed to arrive Friday, which was less than 48 hours after I ordered them.  Apple has incredibly fast delivery service.  I chose the free 5 day shipping.  When I got home from my French class, there was a note from FedEx on the door telling [...]

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

I ordered my new MacBook and free iPod Touch last night.  Yesterday was the first day of Apple’s Buy a Mac, Get a free iPod deal. I’m glad I waited because not only do I get the free iTouch, Apple upgraded their MacBooks to come with a 160GB hard drive instead of a 120GB one [...]

The Verdict Is In

I am retiring my iBook.  In a few weeks, once Apple brings back their ‘Buy a Mac, get a free iPod’ deal, I’ll be getting a brand new MacBook.
I took my iBook to the Apple Store and they told me it would cost at least $200 to fix it.  $200 to open it up and [...]

No Excuses

Back at the beginning of the semester, my Honors professor had us email each other a list of ideas we had for our respective thesis papers for next year. We did so and at the beginning of the next class, he asked if we read everyone’s ideas.
The class erupted in a frenzy of complains that [...]

My Life Is On My Laptop

I had one of the biggest scares of my college career this morning.  I opened up my laptop and the screen was white.  No blinking, just white.  I didn’t really think anything of it since it happens everyday or so.  But when I closed it and opened it back up again, it was still white.
I [...]
