16GB for less than $100

We got some new memory for the laptops in the office, which lead me to ponder the idea of upgrading my machine at home. It’s already got 8GB of Ram, but as the wise man said, you can never have enough. On a whim, (that is the catch phrase that usually costs me the most money), I checked out the motherboard and it can indeed take 16GB of Ram. Well hell son, let’s check this out! A quick check on Amazon shows 8GB of Ram in a 2x4GB config to be $47. So I bought two! They’ll be here Friday! Corsair XMS3 8 GB (2 x 4GB) 1333 MHz PC3-10666 240-Pin DDR3 Memory Kit CMX8GX3M2A1333C9

Getting Ready for the 25 Billionth iTunes Download

Sure, it may be as unlikely as playing the lottery, but you have to try right? And, unlike the lottery, I actually get something out of this deal. I’m picking the apps I’m going to buy as close to the 25 billion mark as I can. I’m going to throw caution to the wind and spend a staggering $5 in the hopes of winning $10,000. The odds are with me right? What could possibly go wrong? Wow, 25 billion downloads. Just think, it was January 2011 when Apple only had 10 billion. They’re racking up quick! So, if by some stretch of the imagination I don’t get the $10k prize, what’s the first thing you’ll do with it?

Getting all that beer into bottles

I’ve spent a couple of hours working on beer. That doesn’t mean I’ve been drinking it, I’ve been trying to find a place for all of it. The Outback Ale and the Ginger Beer went into bottles, but I had to scrounge and use every bottle I had in the house. I thought I had a ton of bottles ready, bit seems I have more bottles full than I have empty. Seems I have a secret stash I didn’t know about. I have an extra 80 full bottles that came out of nowhere. Nice problem to have. The American Hefeweizen is still in the carboy because I don’t have enough bottles. I just couldn’t get all three of them in bottles. Too much.too soon! I have the 12 1-liters, but that isn’t enough to handle the whole thing. I need to put the Hefeweizen in another carboy for the time being. I can’t just leave it sitting around forever. I […]

Airwolf

After playing with these little helicopters I felt compelled to watch Airwolf. Now I want a heavily armed gunship! The computer hijinx are dreadful, but overall this show is still cool!

Flick Golf is wickedly entertaining

So there are new courses in Flick Golf and I also tried my skills as Flick Golf Extreme. The Extreme version is just nutty. There is something devilishly fun about shooting golf balls off a high rise building or onto an aircraft carrier. This game cracks me up and makes me waste hours of my time!
