15 Years and Counting

The Microsoft Challenge

I have come up with a challenge for myself, to use all Microsoft products for a week.

What does this include, you may ask?

I will use Bing as my search engine.
I will use Internet Explorer 10 as my web browser (on a computer).
I will use Windows 8 Consumer Preview for my computing needs.
I will use Microsoft Office 2010 (I would use Office 15, but that’s not out yet) for my document needs.
I will use OneNote for my note talking needs.
I will use Microsoft Hotmail for email, but as I will still receive email from other addresses, this is only for outgoing mail.
I will use SkyDrive for online storage.
I will use my Xbox and Xbox Live for Gaming and Entertainment.

However, I will continue to use my iPad, as I don’t have a Windows Slate.

I will be posting daily(ish…) updates to my blog about my progress.

The Challenge starts March 2nd, you in too?

Wacky Grammer and Brand Annoyences

So, a lot of people make Grammer mistakes (myself included). But there are just some Grammer and Brand Annoyences that really bother me.

First off, if it’s possessive of something that ends in s, it is s’, not s’s.

Next, they are Lego bricks, not Legos, nor Lego blocks.

Finally, Apple makes an iPod touch, not an iTouch

Amazon…

Amazon, that one place where you can buy ANYTHING! Absolutely anything. And I got a gift card…

What in the world should I buy???

-Street Fighter IV 3D?
-Save it and use it for the Wii U?
-Skyrim?
-PS Vita? (No…)
-A Microsoft Points Card?
-Something Else?

Birthday Fun Stuff

As it was my birthday on Sunday, I got some stuff.

I got
-A Touch n Brush (As Seen on TV, remember that commercial from two years ago, yeah? That!)
-A GoPro HD HERO 2 CMera with various accessories + an SD Card (Can’t wait to film some cool stuff with this!!!)
-An Amazon Gift Card (Help me pick what to spend it on, seriously!!!)
-A House of Anubis DVD (which is Region 2, so I cannot play…)
-An Angry Birds plush keychain
-A Hand Strengthening Stress relieving ball thing…
-Something I forgot I’m sure!

So, yeah! Pretty good birthday I would say

So iTunes on Windows…

Before I begin, this is written both as a serious complaint with iTunes and as a stand up routine, so there’s that. Let’s begin

When I think iTunes, you’ll probably think of many things, music, movies, and most of all, “ugghh!” We’ve all been there. We all had that issue with iTunes at least once, but let me tell you… If iTunes were better, 90% of my issues with the Mac, solved! Seriously, most of my hangs, crashes, and utter frustrations with my Mac have been because of iTunes.

Because of this, I ask Apple of one thing, if that would rewrite iTunes from scratch!

iTunes was based on a program called SoundJam, and do you know what SoundJam did? PLAY MUSIC!!! Do you know what iTunes does? Play Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and iTunes U content, Purchase/Download Music, Movies, TV Shows, Audiobooks, iBooks, Podcasts, iTunes U content, and apps, Sync iPod, iPhone and iPad devices, Organize all of that media, analyze music for Genius content, authorize iTunes accounts, and a boatload of other crap!

15 Years and Counting…

So, I’ve been Tumblogging for a while, but I haven’t been doing it very often. Well let me tell you, that’s all about to change.

Because I just turned 15, I have decided to begin Tumblogging every day from now on.

If I don’t blog for a certain day, I must make it up as soon as I can.

So yes, this is a new thing for me, but here goes…

God dammit! I just lost the game

clientsfromhell:

Client: I like the way you linked the image in the on-line flyer to the web page for the product.  Can you do that for the new catalog?

Me: But the catalog is a print version.

Client: Yeah, I want them to be able to move to the web page as easily as they can with the flyer images.

Me: But the catalog is a print version.

Client:  So? What’s the issue?

Some people… I mean REALLY?
