Laptop Care

For many of us, our laptops are our lives.. and a major investment.
So, just like your car, you should take care of your laptop.

Even though where I live it does not even reach freezing most of the time, I was curious what the cold could do to a laptop.

The following links are just ones about taking care of your laptop in the cold, but the last one is a fun link from a company that makes electronics to withstand the extreme cold.

Enjoy!

Saving Messages and Memories

I was looking for a way to save my cell phone messages. Unlike a regular voicemail machine in which you can save your messages by not deleting it or on the old machines, you would just take out the tape.

Something Isn't Right

Basic economic principles are not being followed.
The gas prices are falling, yet the food prices have not.
The two are correlated.

The gas prices are falling, but why are they?
There is nothing going on that would make them fall.
There is the same amount of demand. Gas, like milk is inelastic demand item. Meaning, it is like milk. People will buy milk, no matter how much it is, because they need it. So the price variation does not make sense. In Fact with Ike coming and going, it should cause the price to increase, versus decrease. The economists even said that would happen.

Something isn't right. I will leave it at that.

My dorms never looked like this

This is an interesting video essay on how dorms have changed over time.
Needless to say the dorms I live in college never looked like these, but it is quite interesting to see how things have changed.


There was an article on Yahoo about how the DOW has jumped 500 points.
We can only see if this trend continues, or what. The problem with the economy is not so much there is something wrong with it, but the fact people lack the confidence to spend money, because they fear they will not have a job to make the money to spend later on.

It is not just us.

We have heard a lot recently about Wachovia, Indy Mac, Wamu, and so forth Banks not doing well, and watching the goverment try to save them.

Well it is not just us that suffering, but also the European Nations.
