One would call this an experimental post. Right now I am typing this out on my Blackberry while in math class.
We just spent around 48 minutes debating how to solve an annuity problem. I still don’t think my professor ever wrote the right anwser on the board.
Now that I have mentally checked out of the lecture she moves on to the next problem.
Just a mini-post. Turkey details later.

Web Browsing on my Mini
As always with computers I want things to be snappy. Unfortunately, snappy does not go hand in hand with a Mac Mini. While a very economical computer it is also slower than mud. I wish Apple would grow up and play with others so I can get fast and cheap hardware with OS X.
The point is, Safari is great but GMail does not work well in it(causes memory leaks). This means at any given moment I need at least w different browsers open, typically this has been Safari and Firefox. Unfortunately they are both big fat ugly memory pigs that quickly lead my Mac in to the realm of poor performance. This gets extremely frustrating when I have the need to open another large nasty application like Opera. Right now I am posting in it and it seems like its going to be an improvement. The only problem so far is page rendering issues which have appeared but not in a form that has caused me to need another browser. The good thing is that Opera has an RSS reader which I have grown to love using in Safari(Opera’s RSS reader is NOT nearly as nice as Safari’s).
New Speakers(Again…)
My final pair of speakers has arrived. So far I’ve gone from Bose V201 speakers to Klipsch Synergy B-2′s and now finally to the Synergy B-3. I would most definitely say that 100$ difference was worth it. It continually blows my mind the sound difference between a 5.25″ woofer and a 6.5″. I doubt I’ll be getting any bookshelf speakers with 5.25″ woofers in them again.
I pity my suitemates, the first thing that happens when I get new speakers is I play stuff at rediculous volumes to get a feel for the capacity of the speaker.
flyleaf info
Some people were asking for mp3s of Flyleaf. Here it is: I’m So Sick by Flyleaf. That version is a little different then the one I bought on iTunes but its just the mix thats changed.
A taste of plague
The plague has escaped in to NJ in 3 infected lab mice. Lucky for me its a couple blocks away from me. I’m happy that a deadly disease has been released in my city.
Please do not panic.
Yay! The new Mac minis came out less than 2 weeks after I buy mine. I love apple for that. At least the changes are trivial. They integrated a few more of the add-ins by default. I would of scored an airport/BT card in mine instead. Its not even worth the effort to exchange it. I would have to uninstall the RAM I installed and clean up all my stuff off the machine.
