The One Week Digital Cleanse
F this and your shitty music.

Mention to anyone with computer savvy that your laptop has somehow gotten slower over recent months and they’ll ask you the same thing: “have you defragmented your hard drive?” Defragmenting works by taking small slivers of information stored in various locations and consolidating them so that they’re in the same place on the drive and thus easier to access...

Good lord
I’ve been on this plane for two hours in front of a woman who has not shut her yap the whole time! Who talks that much? The poor bastard next to her has been giving the “yeah, mmmhmm”.
Honey, if you were good looking and smart, I’d give you a little leeway but you, my little pugnosed cornfed liebschen, are neither.
For 10 points
Which decaying, worthless, piece of crap city did Google not give free wi-fi to for the holidays? Starts with D, ends with troit. Which is why I’ve never upgraded my iPhone software - I can still tether to it.
Richmond Airport = Lame
To get from concourse A to B, you have to go through security all over again. A little thinking would solve that problem.
“Unruly boys who will not settle down, they must be taken in hand.”
– The Smiths, who apparently knew I was going to be on this flight. I mourn the death of “shut your mouth” parenting.
There is some terrible MIDI smooth jazz being piped over the speakers in the plane. Like if Super Mario was stuck in a John Tesh concert.

Hell yes.
Back to civilization
I’m trading the mountains for the frigid midwest tomorrow. I’m flying from Johnson City, TN back to Richmond, VA (via Charlotte) and I arrive at 2. Then I walk to the next gate and fly from RVA to Madison, WI (via Detroit) at 4. It was cheaper than flying direct, which makes no sense, but it was.
And when I get there, I’m going to download the internet.
Bleh
I’m not even in school and my stomach’s still not very happy with me.
Edit: My sister just made me drink Alka Seltzer for upset stomachs. Dis-gust-ing.
Elvis Costello's Spectacle →
Tonight he welcomes Levon Helm, Nick Lowe, Richard Thompson and Allen Toussaint, who join Elvis in a memorable version of “The Weight.”
Holy crap. Guess I know what I’m doing tonight. Just to see Elvis and Nick play together is worth it.
Edit: This is beyond awesome.
Edit 2: So Ray LaMontagne shows up to sing The Weight and then Allen, Nick & Richard all proceed to take a...

Six years ago, I moved from Chicago to New York to work at Saturday Night Live. I packed up and was going through my things to see what I would take with me and what I’d leave behind. I found an orange folder—a regular school folder—in a bookshelf. As soon as I saw it, I knew what it was. There were quotes written all over the front of...

I wish there was a Na’vi-me builder like there is for MadMenYourself and ElfYourself. Because, well, I want me some bioluminescence.
The first year Creative Technologists did a whole Avatar project for one of their classes - one of the teams proposed this.

We found chains
Thanks for all the help!
Help me Internet. You're my only hope.
UPDATE: All is good. We tracked down chains with the help of the manufacturer and WalMart corp. Made it back up to the top with chains and plenty of horsepower.

This is how the Donner party started, I know it.
Snowed in on a mountain in remote eastern Tennessee with satellite internet that has a lame ass Fair Access Policy that slows you down to dial up speed for 24 hours if you exceed the daily threshold of 400MB. No posting for me. I even turned off loading images to speed up pages. It’s 1996 all over again.

It’s over now, but I just caught the tail end. Anyway, this is probably gonna come off as completely ass-kissy, but screw it.
Whenever Merlin joins something Leo is doing, it gets exponentially more awesome. It just does. Not sure exactly why. Try it: Macbreak Weekly, Twit Live, whatever. It’s unfuckingcanny.
Well. I hope this doesn’t sound...
