Thought I broke my foot/ankle

It's amazing how fast your day can go down the tube. Last Friday was going well until my left foot found a patch of ice. We were in the midst of a pretty good snow fall, so I was out shoveling. I had to move my truck out of the driveway so I could get the whole drive. Anyway as I was walking back up the driveway...slip, twist, crack. OOOOWWWW. I twisted my ankle, as well as strained my achilles tendon. Let me tell you it wasn't fun at all. I have never in my life broken anything, so I had no id… Continue

Something new with the stuff I have

Tonight I got antsy and thought I'd change it up a little. My girlfriend and I were sitting enjoying a movie, and I thought "HEY! why don't we move the desk!" As random as this may sound, let me break it down. Our set up was/is very nice. The only bad thing was that our main computer, aptly named EEVIAC, was being used as a home theater PC. As it's hooked up to our TV. The thing is a power house, and handles all our movies and music like a champ. The only problem was that being students we need… Continue

A such thing as too much tech?

Obviously if you are here on GEEKS, you have great knowledge and appreciation for all things technology. Everything from hand held gadgets to 1080p HDTV's are what make your (our) world go round. Now a days if you can think of something you would want or need, chances are there is something out there to suite your need. And if there isn't something to satisfy your need directly, there is usually a "way" to get what you are looking for. At this point I thank you for reading into this post withou… Continue

"What do you want for your birthday?" "Uhh I dunno"

So my birthday is coming up next week, and I have no clue what I want from people. This happens to me on my birthday, as well as Christmas. I hate when people ask, "What do you want for your birthday?" because I never have an answer. Of course there are many many things out there that I want, but none of them fit the gift category. Like I would love a new car, but I can't ask for that now can I. The really sad part about the gift issue I have is that I do it to myself. Throughout the year if I… Continue

Formal vs Informal Learning

I am currently a college student, and have been for six years now. No, I'm not going to be a doctor or lawyer either. I'm actually going into Construction Engineering. I'm only part time, so that is why it's taking so long. Regardless, that's not really the point of this post. The point, however, is the contrast between formal and informal learning. Also, what is the difference between a hobby and your life goals? For starters, by formal learning I mean time spent in the classroom or comparable… Continue

Geeks is GREAT!

Finally!!! A community that I can stand. First off the layout is next to perfect, and the user friendliness of it is amazing. There are certain features that I wonder why they have not been implemented in other sites. Facebook and MySpace are out of hand and absolutely ridiculous. They have turned into "How much crap can we fit on a page". MySpace is more specific though. How much old school HTML junk can we fit on a page. Oh and I hope you aren't epileptic, cause all the flicker flash of the w… Continue
