Dude, I'm gettin' a Dell! (Seriously!)

Gone are the days where that hilarious Dell came to people saying, "Dude, you're gettin' a Dell." In are the days where Dell laptops don't sound all that bad to me. After looking at other major brands, I decided to go with Dell because of the bargain that I'm getting. I'm getting 1.3GHZ, 512 MB of RAM, and a 30GB hard drive, and all I have to pay is $780. And that comes with a neat little clip-on cover that makes it have a carbon fiber covering. All I have to do now is save up for a little while. That will be the hard part.

Canton School

To the of Canton High School Athletic Director and Football coach Gary Joe Kinne, I reminds me of how seriously some people take sports. It's just pathetic. I mean, good grief, it's just a ; nothing to kill another person over. I also got another reminder of how stupid some people can be. The afternoon of the , the shooter's cousin, with other supporters, stood outside the Canton jailhouse, protesting for his release. She said something like this to the media:I don't necessarily think that you should call him a lunatic, other people are angry about this too." This is incredible! I'm sorry; somebody that attempts to kill somebody else over a is pretty crazy!
Besides the shooter, other things trouble me and my family about the , not the least is that Canton is just 30 miles away from where I live(Athens, TX). The other, is that my Mom went to high school with Coach Kinne, and my uncle played football with him. We are constantly turning on the news to see if someone is going to release the condition of Kinne.
Somehow, the government is going to have to degrade the importance of sports. I have heard people say that the was not related to sports and the fact that his son was on Coach Kinne's football team, but why then, would he shoot the coach and not someone else?

Peter Jennings

As most of you already know, Peter Jennings, ABC, has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer, directly related to his habit. He says that he stopped twenty years ago, but started back after 9/11. One thing that I really enjoyed of Jennings' was one of my favorite books, called The Century, which he co-wrote with Todd Brewster. The event that I think most defined his career, was 9/11. I remember watching the telivision the night of it, and remember Jennings just speechless in awe and disbelief when the second plane hit the twin towers. Even though he didn't say much, what he said and how he said it just made an impression on me. Anyway, we all wish Peter Jennings the best and assure him that we, or at least I will, be praying for him.

1TB desktop hard-drives!

Hitachi has recently revealed their plans develop and release a desktop hard drive with 1 Terabyte(1000 Gigabytes) of memory. This phenomenal feat will probably be completed around 2007, Hitachi officials say. I don't know why people using desktop PCs would need that much, but who knows?

Wi-Fi ipod coming soon?

There has been much talk about Apple revealing an ipod with Wi-Fi capabilities. This means that if people owning it can share music with other owners, and providing there's you're in a hotspot, you can log on to Apple's music service, itunes, and download music. As long as it doesn't cost too much, I would definitely consider getting it over a computer or a Sony PSP, both of which I am considering purchasing. As soon as I get enough money, which will be soon, I'll have to make the decision, though right now I'm leaning towards a computer.

Is the Google Gulp just an April Fool's Day joke?

I was searching the web on April 1, when I read on Google's site that they had released a drink earlier that day. Called Google Gulp, it is "designed to maximize your surfing efficiency by making you more intelligent, and less thirsty." Huh. Why in the world would Google even think about coming out with a drink? But of course, it's not too suprising considering that they recently came with a line of underwear! What's next?!? The same day, Google announced that their Gmail e-mail service, previously free if with an invitation, now holds 2GB of storage instead of it's previous 2GB. This I'm pretty sure isn't a April Fool's joke, but I don't know about the drink. The day after it supposably came out, I went to Wal-Mart to try to purchase some, but it wasn't even there! Come on! You say if can be found at your local grocery store! Well, if they don't have it at Wal-Mart, why would they have it any place else?
