Irony

My last post was called... what? Right, full steam ahead. Well this one should be called Cancel That.

Rather than just not posting for months on end, I'm officially shutting this blog down. It'll be back up with a makeover after spring break or spring semester, whatever. I've deleted a lot of posts, the rest are just going to stay up to give me the opportunity to be indecisive (like I need one).

Makeover

Saturday, February 27, 2010

I have found a magazine template that actually works for me so hence the new layout. I liked the old stuff but there was one minor problem...

I couldn't read it.

It was pretty yes, but I couldn't read my own blog so yeah. Shazam!

The days when I spend my life glued to Gimp and OpenOffice are fast approaching so I'll probably finally make a fancy shmancy header soon. I made a logo but I don't actually really like it... I'll get around to that the same time I post all the stuff that's actually on my to-post list rather than posting randomness.

10 items $10 and under on Etsy

Friday, February 26, 2010

Etsy: an online community for buying and selling unique, handmade, and vintage stuff.

One of the things I like doing is looking up stuff that's under 10 dollars (because i'm a college student and brokeness is a fact of life)

So I've put together 10 things that caught my eye.

 

5 Pin Pack Attack 3: AkumuInk's Shop
I love buttons, especially cute ones that come in groups. :D

 

Mustache Mug- 2 sided: UrbanAntix's Shop
These remind me of those cups with the noses drawn on them :)


Stone - Pure Organic Mineral Eye Color: Orglamix's Shop
Another thing I really like about Etsy. Lots of sellers sell makeup with less chemicals and junk in them. This seller also offers a 100% guarantee and a 14-day refund window.



Pink Abnormal Jumbo Earrings: Abreakastudios's Shop
I love stuff with designs like this. The earrings are a nice mix of colors and patterns.

 

Tea has gotten really popular lately. This seller has tons of satisfied customers so why not join in the fun? That is if you like tea. I don't like tea but I think I want to try this.

Sunny Side Scarf: CherriCherri's Shop
When I came across this I remembered seeing something similar at Kstyle so it was a huge OMG moment. Here's a link to the blog post: Dara's Shredded Neck Piece


Little Key Necklace: ALJoyeria's Shop
I have a thing for necklaces with keys on them. Now that I think of it, I have a key to a lock that was changed after I graduated from high school. Maybe I should do something with it :)


Hair Clip: VaVaRa's Shop
As soon as feathered headbands came in, I wanted one. I still haven't gotten one but I'll get around to it. I love the colors on this clip.

 

Lock Nut Hardware Dangle Earrings: AdditionsStyle's Shop
These have a sort of steampunk feel to them, no?

 

A sleeve tattoo without all the pain and the ability to change your mind?

Enjoi :)

Custom self-contained hanging Wall-PC – Charlotte NC Web Design, Development - Glowview Blog

Custom self-contained hanging Wall-PC – Charlotte NC Web Design, Development - Glowview Blog

I really want to try this. I just don't have an extra laptop chilling around. Or $$.

"Why hang a computer from the wall….?

  • Takes up almost zero space
  • It’s cheap, only need an old unused laptop + cheap frame
  • Digital picture frame w/ online syncing
  • Dedicated video game emulation with wireless controller (NES, SNES, Genesis, Playstation)
  • Control music, watch movies, watch TV
  • Browser testing w/o a separate tower + monitor, or KVM switch
  • Security web cam or video conferencing
  • File server, backup, etc.
  • Extend your main PC desktop to this extra display
  • Looks cool, good conversation piece"

NBR Vista Tips and Tweaks Guide

Thursday, February 25, 2010

So we all agree that vista sucks. But if you're stuck with it, not enough green to upgrade to windows 7, not daring enough to make the linux leap into freedom and happiness (don't feel bad, I only did complete linux once. I realized there are some things I can't do without windows. So I use linux for everything and once in a while I use vista for some program that refuses to like linux), you can tweak vista so it's less sucky.

I've used this multiple times, on my computer and others. Usually it was on my laptop after my multiple operating system/dual-boot experiments. Ah, I love doing those :)
