Obama and the Apple iPad

Anyone else notice a lot of funny parallels between Obama's first year as President and the unveiling of the Apple iPad last week? Both faced unreasonable expectations for success, and neither one has truly delivered on those expectations... yet.

But the structure is there, and with a few tweaks, both still have amazing potential.

BIRTHDAY

INTERESTS

I'm a software trainer part-time grammar nazi and an eerie cross between your high school English teacher and the geeky kid who used to sit behind you in class programming his calculator. I love anything to do with computers and/or gadgets of just about any kind. I built a Windows 7 based HTPC which is one of my favorite hobbies. I love gaming and I divide what little time I have for it between the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. I have also discovered gaming on my iPhone and all the cheap/free games for it. Score! I also read way way too much especially since I discovered Kindle for iPhone. And I have too many degrees (and school loans) for my own good!

FAVORITE MUSIC

Showtunes and Rap. (Yeah really.)

FAVORITE MOVIES

A Fish Called Wanda Titanic Troop Beverley Hills Get Shorty Galaxy Quest Ever After You've Got Mail Noises Off Serenity (is it cheating to list Red vs. Blue?) I might have to add Eagle Eye and I haven't added a new movie to this list in years!

FAVORITE TV SHOWS

I CURRENTLY WATCH: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart The Colbert Report Leverage Heroes House ER 24 Medium Boston Legal NCIS Terminator Deliver Me Big Medicine and Dr G: Medical Examiner. MY OLD FAVORITES ARE: Scrubs Sex and the City Will & Grace Get Smart Mork & Mindy Bewitched Whose Line is it Anyway?

FAVORITE BOOKS

Holy Shisno I can't keep up with this section. Put it to you this way: I love Jane Austen and I was an English major in college. Books are awesome. YOU SHUD GO REED MOAR NAO!! [=^D

FAVORITE VIDEO GAMES

XBOX 360: Halo 3 Portal Rock Band 1&2 Tomb Raider: Legend Quake 4 Dead Rising. NINTENDO WII: Wii Fit Mario Galaxy Mario Party Metroid and Wii Sports. ORIGINAL XBOX: Halo 1&2 Outlaw Golf Brute Force Blinx Bloodrayne Alter Echo Splinter Cell 1 (the sequels have been disappointing). GAME CUBE Zelda: Windwaker and Metroid Prime. PC: Civilization Series Rollercoaster Tycoon? Who am I kidding. I'm not a PC gamer.

how do you post a picture in a comment box?

Regarding your HTPC issue the other day, would it be possible to power the pc you were talking about with an enclosed power brick like the ones used for printers and stuff, rather than a traditional pc power supply that has fans and all that?

I'm thinking of building an HTPC and I would like to make it as silent as possible. The set-up you described in your question looked like it would be kind of noisy.

BEARSHAFT

If you have the Stylish Firefox addon, you can create a blank style and then paste this into it:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("roosterteeth.com") {
  body > table.bodyTable {
    background-image: none !important;
    /* REPLACE THE IMAGE WITH SOMETHING ELSE
         background-image: url('pathToImage.jpg') !important;
    */
  }
}

By default, it just removes the background image.

But if you delete that "background-image: none" line, and uncomment the other "background-image" line, you can replace the background image with something else.

i just read your comment on Gus recent post - awesome information. i just got my dream job as tech support for a fair size medical publishing company which affords me the opportunity to learn on the fly. i was fairly pleased with myself this past week bc i pulled apart a dead iMac g4 and brought it back to life. Not sure why i am telling you this, but hey, whats wrong with a little shared tech?

well, I went to some of the reviews online and it seems to be what I needed, and since the price is amazing, I got it. My first woot! I figure since I'll mostly be using this in my room or when I sell my plasma, I don't really need more than 2.5 hours. Also, the size is good. I'm excited to get my first netbook now!

Yeah, I am on COBRA and I pay about $400 a month for my premiums. On the other hand, I can go see any doctor I want. shrugs

Oh, like the "Jizz In My Pants" button he made for someone else. Thanks for answering.
