Introducing the GMail Drive. It turns the storage space you have on your GMail account into an online hard drive, which is awesome for those of us that work on documents from two separate computers. Also, you can access all the files from any computer with internet since all of the files show up as attachments in your inbox.Although there are other solutions, you could back up important documents/pictures on a separate email account. Google is pretty good with people’s data and won’t be going anywhere soon.

The days before a final:

Don’t look at the book man, don’t do it. It’s easy stuff. And don’t go to class, no one can understand your teacher, so it’ll be a waste of time. Play some Zelda, yea, some Zelda. Or maybe even some Metroid Prime. That game kicks ass.

The night of the final:

Fuck man! Look at the fucking book! THE BOOK! You don’t know shit, do you!?!? NO YOU DON’T YOU SHITFUCK. Maybe if you went to class, you’d fucking understand this shit, but no, you had to sleep. You didn’t even fucking play Zelda, you just went to the same websites over and over again, hitting refresh, hoping to God someone would post something. Well guess what, now you’re F’ed in the A. No, wait, you know what, you’re Fucked in the Asshole. You’re like three steps above F’ed in the A.

But you know what, don’t study. Its okay. Blog about how you aren’t studying instead. That’s the smart thing to do. The internet will save you. Yup, the fucking internet, the one that screwed your asshole and then left it in the dirt like some sort of drunk whore is going to save you in your time of need. So you know what, I’m going to listen to my teacher and go to sleep. He said to go to sleep early, it would get me a better grade, so I’m going to actually listen to one of his many life lessons and go to sleep. It doesn’t matter if I know the material or not, he said if I sleep, I’ll do better than everyone else. So good night internet, you can have my asshole some other day.

Faster Internet For All

tl;dr version. Internet in currently in the 1-20Mbps but this guys research could make that more like 100Mbps.

I have nothing against a faster internet, I just have a sneaking sensation that even if this is implemented we will still be paying the same price for our current connections. It would trickle down eventually, but seems like it would be a while till we fell the impact.

Official Homepage

Basically, Songbird is a media player much like iTunes but instead of having to buy songs from the iTunes music store or whatever, you can search for songs on the internet and download them from there. Its pretty much like Google-ing for .mp3s, but Songbird lists out the results in order of audio quality and lets you stream them before you download them. There are also blogs/sites that let you stream music and with SongBird its easy to make a Online Playlist with these blogs.

Its open source and developed by “the Songbird Team,” the people who are responsible for Winamp. Its currently in the beta phase, 0.3 being the newest version, but it does what its supposed to do without messing up. The only problems I’ve encountered so far was installing some of the plug-ins. The older ones don’t work but that’s about it.

I’d suggest just trying it out. There are still a bunch of features I don’t use/haven’t gotten to yet so don’t just read this post and reject it.

I just realized its 5 A.M. and I have a class at 10. Sure, I could get 5-ish hours of sleep and go to class but then I’d have to wake up and I can’t do that after only 5 hours of sleep. So instead, I’ve decided to stay up all night and hopefully not fall asleep in class. It’s probably for the best. I have English tomorrow and everyone knows you need to be able to b.s. shit to get an A in those classes and I B.S. the best when I’m half asleep. But right now, I’m going through the phase where my body is desperately trying to make me go to sleep and in order to fight it, I decided to type this up. So if I don’t make any sense, randomly change subject, stop in the middle of a sentence, or whateverelseimightdo, forgive me. -insert transition sentence here, well, I would, but fuck you mrs holland-

Last night, yea, I think it was last night, or the night before, who knows, the Cuas, Anhthu, and I went to the largest corn maze in the world, according to the Guinness World Record. Its 40 acres in size and has tons of corn. I mean, they could have fed all of Africa with that corn, but Americans need their corn mazes so its all good. Everyone knows Halloween > Africans. Well, at least that’s how it is for other people. For Indians, there is no Halloween without black people. Our parents scare us by telling us to watch out for the black guy that’s standing outside camouflaged in the darkness of night. Okay, back to topic before I forget what happened.

We got there at 8:10 (me thinks), gave them $9 each, and got our tickets and maps. The girls tried to map out a path, but they failed and we decided to just run in with just our awesomeness to help us find the way out. The first few minutes were spent walking around in a group, with Sam stopping to take a piss, but then Sam and I decided to go in a different, random direction. It was kinda useless since we ended up meeting up again 10 minutes later. After that, something happened, we split up again and Sam and I ended up getting lost some more. It was during this time that Sam decided that he would try to be funny and cut through the corn to get ahead of where I was going and scare me, or something stupid. The first time he ran into the corn, I had to walk around this patch or corn while he sat in the middle doing god knows what until he decided to come back out. The second time he ran away, I was heading through a patch of corn and all I heard was Samuel saying “that way is stupid” and when I turned around, he was gone. I went backwards to where he was and after 30 seconds of standing there, I decided to walk away. As my not-with-samuel luck would have it, I found the exit in about 10 minutes after that so I decided to call Anhthu to see how the other group was doing and to see if they had found Sam. Unfortunately, they were in the middle somewhere and Sam was no where to be seen. Being the idiot I am, I decided to go back in and look for Sam. Luckily, we bumped into each other a few minutes later but my with-Samuel luck kicked in and we couldn’t find our way back out.

And so we decided to call the girls to meet up with them. With the help of some yelling, we met up with them at the bridge that was in the middle of the whole damn thing. There was some map dropping, picture taking, and a men vs women bet to see who could make it out first. The girls outlined a way out on the map and got a 2 minute head start, but of course, Sam and I got out first. Fast forward about half an hour - 45 minutes later. Almost everyone is gone and the girls are still lost in the maze. Sam and I decided that a search and rescue was in order, since Aileen had the car keys, and so we went back into the maze not knowing where to go. I’m getting tired of typing now, so here’s pretty much what happened. The girls yelled a whole bunch, we ran straight through the corn towards their voices, we found them, guesstimated which way the exit was, and then ran back through all the corn and got out. Ends up that they had made it out one time before, but they had exited out on the other side of the maze and so they decided that it would be fun if they ran back in.

All in all, it was fun, well worth the $9 and we all learned a valuable lesson: Don’t use maps or your brain, just listen to your gut. (… and colbert fans laugh) sdfdsf, I don’t think I like how this is turning into a real blog instead of a money making tool.

There be some pics after teh breaks.
