A little about me...
Obsessed with design and anything related (graphic design for print, web, logos, advertising, branding, seo ... you name it ...)
Also going a little stir crazy lately with the amount of time I spend in front of the computer ... love the outdoors, the sun and the water. Went kayaking recently - love that. Went surfing a few years ago - love that too but there's nowhere to do that in KY. Love budget traveling and wish I did more of it.
Along with the crafty side of things, I do like certain types of DIY projects. I grew up with a sewing machine in the house and plenty of beads but I haven't been doing much along those lines lately. I've knitted a few scarves as well but can't see myself knitting sweaters anytime soon.
I'm also a bit of a geek too: I soldered the audio jack back into a palm tungsten e someone was getting rid of so I would have a better pda and last year rebuilt my desktop pc from almost scratch (kept the processor, case and cd drive ... the old hard drive stayed but I added a second one, then everything else from the power to the motherboard I replaced.) I do love my mac laptop and I'm a big apple fan but I do also run windows and for websites I prefer linux servers. Don't ask me to choose...
Eventually I'm going to get my personal website set up and hopefully that will be soon. When I do, I'll just post a link to that instead of trying to keep my info on all of these community sites up to date (I've got accounts alllll over the place: myspace, facebook, ryze, linked in, ning.... and who knows where else.)

Well yeah a new case could be "pretty" but the one I have is HUGE and very functional with nice slide out removable mounts for the hard drives and plenty of places to put fans. There are 3 fans in there currently and space for a few more without hacking the case.
Maybe next time I clean it out I'll take pics of its innards.
I could upgrade the processor but I mostly use it for a pseudo server and a few other things that don't need much processor power and I think I would have to replace both the motherboard and the processor since I bought the motherboard to fit the existing processor instead of trying to upgrade both at the time I was doing the upgrading. I think it's a socket A type of AMD processor but don't quote me on that.

- That's cool that you know how to rebuild your own computer. Lots of girls barely know how to chat and check their myspace account. Sweet stuff... welcome to JetSet.

good going with the build man, I dunno if you carved the stuff out beforehand, but this kinda reminds me of when Queen's Brian May built his "red Special"

my favorite chiptune of all time is the ibm pc (not ibm at!) version of the maniac mansion theme. my second favorite chiptune of all time is from supertux. my third favorite chiptune of all time is the usual discasting theme, followed naturally by...
Some of the music are indeed chiptunes made by my friend. If I remember correctly, all of them are .IT files. I´ve been thinking about possibility put some of them at the website of Discasting, but at first I have to talk about it with the compose...

Great vid there, a perfect example of a "car crash" movie :P
Heard a bit of chiptune-age in there... did you get the audio from .XM files by any chance?
What I was referring to, was that the way that this "could" move forward, was that people might be able to search for info about any random person through taking a photograph in the street, they don't even have to be famous.
Fair enough at this p...
actually, zadi is the main act. and nothing against zadi- because she's the greatest video host that ever was, in my opinion.
i mean she's better for tech and politics... she may still have a way to go to rank with johnny carson or even conan o'b...
