steam on the mac = goodbye windows
i’ve been using apple’s bootcamp to dualboot my mac mini. why? because i use steam, valve’s all in one social networking/gaming/media portal. up until now it has only been available for windows. i’ve set aside almost 20 Gbs of hard drive space for that purpose. but no more! finally it is coming to the mac and i can let go of my dependence to windows. left 4 dead and team...

new year, new attitude, new layout
yes, i decided to refrain from modding an existing theme and went with a plain’o lame’o theme. i figure why bother trying to make something beautiful when it’s just gonna change the next year.
i never believed in new years resolutions. but i made a promise to myself to start writing again (both here and on jiverobot.com) more often this year and so on. i find it soothing,...

along came firefox...
i’m loving the new update to firefox. finally a browser is moving away from proprietary plug-ins *ahem* adobe flash and shockwave *cough* and using in-browser capabilities. i find this a very big deal. as much as i like standardization and unification on the web, i don’t like how sluggish things have become in terms of user interface. i also don’t like how flash video...

i'm really digging safari 4
ever since the internet became an affordable privelage here in toronto (i reckon 1997), i have used browsers not called internet explorer. that’s because it was so… shit. netscape was easier to use and easy to look at. then IE finally stood up and started to actually get better. i still used alternatives. it seemed that grassroots solutions always had newer features and were more...
learned a bit about myself
and that is: i should not play golf at all. after a round today with ed, i figured out that i’m better off cheering on the players. but that gets boring. so i think i’m gonna avoid the sport as a whole.
well, not all of it. i still like mini putt but that’s because i enjoy shiny objects.
also, tila tequila in person = bleh.

cash rules everything around me
for about 9 months, the people who have had the *sarcasm* luxury to be chauffeured in my elegant vehicle *sarcasm* have noticed extreme engine noise and the scent of gasoline inside the car. a couple of days ago, i found out why. it appears that a GAPING hole in my drop pipe was the culprit. i thought my car was just dying.
it seems that in one of my summer adventures, i had hit debris (because...

another monleon gone
i can only imagine what it feels like to be my dad. he’s lost so much in the last few months. and just now, we got word that his oldest brother has passed. i do not know what else to say except, if you don’t hear from me next week, it’s because i’m in the philippines to support my family in any way i can.
i only have one father. and i’ll be damned if let him suffer...

4ever xxi @ fairview is a disappointment
for men at least. for a ridiculously huge store, it boggles the mind that the men’s section is the size of my living room. there’s seriously some wasted space right in the middle of the place that they can fill up with more manly clothing. *sigh* i really need to move to cali or nyc. yes, for clothes.

hopefully at the time this is posted, i’ll be a few km away from the computer. why? i really need to pick up my stuff from downtown. you know, shit like my official UofT transcript and other relavent documents to ensure i’m still a licenced teacher in ontario. as for auto-post, it should kick in at 5pm when i get off work.

maybe i am a music snob after all
<rant>
spoke to steve today about songs to play at a school dance. i was at a loss for words trying to come up with songs i liked, but that the kids would like too. i know their tastes are too groomed towards the mainstream at this point that it wouldn’t makes sense to introduce them to more “grown up” dance-able and lounge-able music.
maybe it’s because i hear it...
just.wow.
just finished watching the season (series?) finale of terminator: the sarah connor chronicles. and… wow.

tonight was teh best riva party evar! my cousin and meech both debut’d their newest tracks, it was giselle’s bday and i got cuddly for a good hour or so. the downside? i have a ginormous headache. it feels like there’s an elephant trampling in my brain. and no, i’m not drunk. i’m just dehydrated.

i’m partially deaf but well worth it. i wasn’t sure if we’d make it on time but we did. we missed the first 20-30 mins. of the bloody beetroots’s set. they had good flow between their songs with minimal copping-out tactics. then mstrkrft took to the stage and it was… meh? i dunno. i like their stuff, but last night was off. they played a couple of their singles and...

i'm not a wizard. or am i?
it’s no secret that i dabble in all sorts of technology, gadgetry, art, design, music and the sorts. it’s also not a secret that flashes of inspiration happen in an instant. it can be a song or imagery that triggers it. in this case, it was more of a challenge that got the juices flowing.

serious?
a man asked me today if his daughter was attractive. ‘awkward…’ is what popped into mind. that and ‘don’t answer!’ it totally came out of left field. of course i told him that i couldn’t answer since i was on the clock and employees can’t give personal opinions on things other than shoes or work, which was a flat-out lie.
how can someone do that?...
