A Series of Tubes

Wow this trailer looks AWESOME! I haven’t seen Xmen or X2, but I’ll see them just so I can see this. Lol.

Also, tomorrow’s my birth-day! =D

ROFL. Ok, I used to love Transformers, but this it just t0o cheesy for words. Seriously. I’VE GOT TO ATTEND AN INTERSTELLAR PEACE CONFERENCE. BUT UNTIL I RETURN, I LEAVE YOU WITH – THE TOUCH! I’LL BE BACK SOON TO TRANSFORM YOUR DAY INTO AN ADVENTURE! (not to mention the cheesy-beyond-belief song)

Hey everyone, I’m moving to a new URL. Http://zibr.blogspot.com is my new home!

Also the blog is going to be renamed soon as well, “Myst Otaku” is getting boring…

I’m going to put a redirector here to point people over to zibr, as well as this message. This is my final post as mystotaku.blogspot.com!

Tchao!

Hey everyone! Gather round and uncle Zib will tell you a story. Once upon a time, there were only standard, big-company instant messengers. Small companies just didn’t make chat programs. Programs had almost no emoticons. Only 16! (*Gasp!*) But all that changed when ELC was released by Sabretooth Software. It was an open-source freeware chat client that supported plug-ins, emoticons, and all the standard chat client functions, but woah-hey! It was made by a two-man team! (*Gaspx2!*) The world and the way people saw chat programs was changed forever. Ok now uncle Zib is tired, story time’s over. Go home!

I recently discovered that I want a Mac (Big surprise, a year ago I hated Mac and all that it was). I have my heart set on a dual core Intel mini. Last night, I decided to pull out the old Shakespear and modify it a bit to make sense here, and here’s what I came up with (by the way, this is the famous balcony scene from Romeo & Juliet, Scene 2 Act 2):

Romeo and Macintosh

O mac comp, mac comp, wherefore art thou a mac comp?
deny thy Jobs and refuse thy G4 processor,
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my computer,
and I’ll no longer be a ‘doze user.

Tis but thy manufacturer that is my enemy.
Thou art thyself, though not a mac.
What’s mac? It is nor processor, nor RAM, nor monitor, nor case, nor any other part belonging to a comp.
O, be some other brand!

What’s in a brand name?
That which we call a Dell
By any other name would suck as much.
So the mac mini would, were it not a mac called,
Retain that dear perfection which it owes
Without that title.
Mac mini, doff thy manufacturer,
And, for thy manufacturer, which is no part of thee,
Take all my desk space.

On the same note (at a different volume), here‘s a brilliant little movie poking Microsoft for its horrible package design. It’s great!

Ok here’s my birthday wishlist for 2006:
(my birthday is 3/9)

• The Cingular SLVR
• The Fantom Titanium 250gb External Hard Drive (I can pay for a part of that)
• A set of headphones (surround sound or wireless, preferrably) with a microphone
  (like this one)
• iTunes gift cards ($15, $25, $50)got one
• Trillian Pro
• more RAM
• Pretty much any tee-shirt, hat, or sweatshirt from ThinkGeek (Darker colors are better, XXL or XXXL).
• Windowblinds 5 full version or Object Desktop
• A graphics tablet, check Amazon.com for good ones.Got one! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
• If all else fails, any amount of money above $10 would also be welcome. I gotta save to buy my mac…got $95! Happeh.

Most things in life….priced.
(Use a Mastercard)

Love, Laughs, and Linux….priceless.
Not all good things cost money.

This is a really good video made from taking a clip from The Matrix: Reloaded and the Star Wars Kid (A kid with a metal pole dancing around prentending it’s a lightsaber). The guy put the Kid over Neo, to make it look like he’s beating up the Smiths with the pole…

[EDIT: I’ve taken down the movie from here because it’s giving me this security notice thing…just click the title to see the move! (or click here)]

This tee-shirt is great. It follows the standard cliche of “I ____ and all I got was this lousy tee-shirt” with a funny (and ever so true) twist. Go liberals go!

(While you’re checking that out, also take a glance at the hilarious Dick Cheney shirts!)

*Hee hee…I guess it’s actually spelled ‘liberals’, not ‘librals’ 😛

This is crazy. Yesterday my friend and I watched a bunch of home movies on Google Video of 2 french guys blowing up computers and stuff (sometimes with bombs, sometimes with tractors, sometimes just by removing the heatsink), called Extreme Overclocking. I thought that was cool until I found the 5 ghz Project. These guys rigged up a liquid nitrogen/compressor cooling system for their computer and managed to get up to 5.25ghz without it overheating. That’s crazy. The fastest processor I’ve found on the market is a 4ghz CPU for a few thousand bucks. 5.25ghz is crazy. Crazy. Ridiculously crazy. Man.
