Mario Paint Composers

I find it incredible how powerful a game can be these days. Containing thousands of dollars of valuable technology that a person picks up at a store for $50, or downloads it for $10. I myself have a $500 dollar program designed for music creation known as Logic Studio. It can produce some pretty good music, however an old game from the era of the Super NIntendo seems to even give it some competition. ;)

What is Love?

A Top 10 List written because of Lists

First, I would like to wonder why there are so many top lists today about Apple. Today is not about Apple, it’s about the Macintosh. Apple’s birthday is on April 1st. Along with this, I see the same old list made every year. Ones that take little time to think. The simple blog post to get as many hits as possible.

It all starts with the first mouse, which wasn't a mouse at all. It… Continue

PC Industry: Phreaking

Previous one: Before

It might be unknown to most, but hacking isn’t technically a bad thing. In fact, it was hacking that truly started the personal computer market. To this day, one of the most famous, and thought to be the best hacker of all time by some, remains to be Steve Wozniak. Steve, or Woz, is the co-founder of Apple, Inc.

It was 1971 and at the time, Steve Woz did not realize the future he was going to lead… Continue

The PC Industry: Before

This is a series of posts concern the historic background of personal computer related events.

I must confess that I'm not much of an internet social networking person. I don't really have a myspace account or facebook. I rarely write updates upon twitter. For instant messaging, I only use gTalk and only have a small amount of my friends on my buddies list. In all honesty, I'm terrible about being social online. However, I have found a few networks that I've grown to use quite often. One… Continue

Sounds like fun, I enjoy video editing, I'm in the middle of doing a wedding video for someone, which is cool.

Not a bad day overall, just lots of work to get done!

What software do you use for your editing etc?
