4:3 Mania

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

Well, my monitor finally went. I’ve had it for 3 to 4 years. Technology dies faster and faster with every generation. Fortunately I like to keep at least one spare piece of hardware in case the one I have breaks. You might have heard me mention a 2003 Dell computer used for emergencies. I don’t [...]

Online Lottery Simulator – You Never Win!

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

I have always been offended by lotteries. Unlike casinos, there is no “fun day out”. Unlike fundraisers, there is no benefit for the needy.

Lack of updates

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Sorry for the lack of updates. A few weeks ago, I won a lot of 20 tapes off eBay, and I’m about halfway done backing them up to my computer, holding the seller off on a rating. So far all work and great music. The tapes are various obscure and popular 80s pop-metal and pop-rock [...]

After weeks of being up at night listening to my favorite night talk radio [...]

BBSpot Quizzes

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

These quizzes have been around for ages, but I haven’t been to BBSpot since way before xcopfly.com came into existence. So I took a bunch of these quizzes again.     Which OS are You?     Which File Extension are You?     How White and Nerdy Are You?     Which Caffeinated Beverage [...]
