Me Wants's it

Checking out gizmodo is a daily ritual of mine, just to remind me how fast technology is moving along, and keep me from going out and actually buying anything, cos it'll just end up being 'old tech' and much less desirable in a few weeks. It doesn't stop me, however, from drooling on occasion and having little daydreams about owning all the nice shiny stuff. For example, the beautiful monitor pictured above. The review on personal computer world says that its '[A]s big as a TV and with higher resolution than HD (high definition), Dell's mammoth 30in display is unlike anything else you're likely to have experienced on your PC'. This all sounds pretty fantastic to me, especially when it also claims to have the almost identical specifications to Apple's 30in Cinema HD display, but is about 300 pounds cheper, though priced at 1471.10 (307718 Yen on xe.com)pounds that doesn't mean a whole lot. Their idea to use the savings to invest in a video card necessary to run it does sound appealing however.

Order of the Stick

I only just discovered this webcomic yesterday and am already hooked. The author had written a guest strip for PVP and his site 'GiantITP' was mentioned in Scott Kurtz's comments. It's written by Rich Burlew, a game writer for table top gaming, and is about a group of gamers in a D&D adventure. I'm racing through the pages a little too quickly, and I'm starting to get worried that it will all be over too soon and I will have to wait for the three times weekly updates like every other shmuck.
The character's have all become quickly familiar, and their casual banter is hilarious. Belkar is by far my favourite. I highly recommend giving it a read.

Only five minutes before a class is to begin, but what the hey, let the spur of the moment take me on a little adventure. I spend long enough reading other peoples various blogs, so why not create something of my own, and share a little of the things that interest me, and occasionally my thoughts on the ways of the world. Although it's very likely that my proposal will end up with this site being visited solely by myself around updating time, as I said in the beginning, what the hey...
