With the help of my trusty “Ebony” PowerBook and Airport network, I’m able to bring you this post sitting on my toilet and completely wireless! God bless Apple. I don’t really have anything to post about. Just kind of sitting here “downloading files” and pushing the technilogical envelope. I’m sure this is what 802.11b was really meant for anyways. Browsing and pooping at the same time. Are you disgusted yet? I know I’d be.

Goodevening ladies and gentleman, this is the infamous redhead Amanda at the helm. Richie requested my presence in his journal eventhough it just as well will be taken down in two days. For the time being I will simply promote my website Amandica.com. Read on my pretties; there is much more to see.

I’m trying out this thing called Tag Board below. It’s free and I figure what the hell. You’ll be able to access it under “My Links” on the side. Look at is as more of a message board than a chat client. Let me know what you think.

I’ve put in a new search function located to the side below the links and powered by the greatest search engine in the world, Google. You can localize your search to everything that is under the roguegeek.com site or search the entire web (though going straight to google.com is about 100 times better). Try it out and let me know what you think.

I’ve been having some problems with Go Daddy‘s domain name forwarding system. Instead of fowarding to the right page, it was giving the default “coming soon” page. Seems like the problem is fixed now. If that ever happens again, I have a couple of names that forward to the-journals:

I’m posting this like you’re actually anxious to read what I write. How silly of me.

I purchased the iRock late last Monday with 7 day ground shipping and got it in less than 24 hours yesterday (the Apple Store is damn cool like that). The iRock is basically an FM transmitter that can connect to any mini headphone jack but was made with portable MP3 players in mind. Basically, I can plug it into my iPod, tune into a radio station, and listen to it in my car. It eliminates the need to carry CDs with me anywhere! So how well is it working? Decently well, but there are a couple of problems. It only gives you 4 preset stations to choose from and the strong those station’s signals are, the less quality sound you have. It’s a bit bulky and clumsy because it “hangs” off of the iPod. It also runs off of 2 AAA bateries instead of taking power from the iPod. Most of these problems I can look over, though, because it does work and I don’t have to carry CDs anymore. The iRock is still just a buffer tool until I get the Griffen iTrip in September. It looks like it’s going to clear up all of the little quirks I’m having with the iRock. I can’t wait.

I have just read the most incredible news here and here. I’m going to try and post this without putting too much puss into it. All Felicity seasons are going to be released on DVD starting with season one on Novemeber 5, 2002! Anyone who knows me also knows how much of a fan I am of this show. And anyone who was fortunate (or unfortunate depending on who you talk to) enough to get extremely personal with me knew exactly how much this show touched me on all levels. It’s the most amazing show and I was terribly saddened to see it leave the air a couple of months ago. Although it was a huge critical success, it never got a mainstream audience. The people who did watch it, though, did it religiously and I’m happy to say I was able to experience ever bit of it. Now, I’ll be able to do the same all over again. Amazon.com already has a page up for the DVDs. Yeah, this did have quite a bit of puss in it.

Update (2002-07-24, 1:44pm): At the request by Apple Legal, all Material and hyperlinks have been removed from this, and any other web site under our control.

It seems as though a couple of images said to be of the new G4 cases and motherboard along with a simple PDF explaining the main internal parts have been surfacing all over the net today. It has not been confirmed or denied that these pictures are genuine, but it is our opinion they are completely and blatantly fake. Let us know what you think.

If you know me, then you know I’m a hat guy. I feel naked if I’m not wearing one. The last couple of months I’ve also turned into a big visor guy too. Been wearing a real cool Jagermeister visor that a friend gave to me a while back. Well, I just got in the mail my 2 new hats today. The first is this real cool visor for the Dale Jr. Budweiser racing team. The other is this not-as-cool hat for the same racing team. The hat doesn’t seem to be shaped very well so I’ll probably just pack it up with my other collectibles. I think I’m going to buy a couple more of the visors, though, because they’re damn cool and I like to collect things like that. If you can’t tell, I’m a NASCAR whore too.

I had a fairly unproductive day yesterday. Started off with calling my parent’s place to wish my brother a happy birthday, but he wasn’t home. Continued to watch the NASCAR race (which sucked a**). A friend came over a little later and we went out to lunch. Well, it was more like a tons of ice cream. After getting over my stomach ache, I called up Amanda. She came over and hung for a while.

Let me tell you how cool this girl is. She helped me with my laundry! Anyone who helps me with my laundry is automatically on my cool list because of the simple fact that laundry is the devil’s chore and I will always hate doing it with a passion. So what else you ask? Well, I started whining to myself about being hungry and said that we need to go out and get some food. Without a moment’s notice, she’s up in my kitchen scavenging for anything to make. Now I’ve had girls cook for me before, but it was usually a pre-planned type of deal. This was purely a spontaneous act and I was so damn happily caught off guard when it happened. I asked her to stay the night, but she turned me down. “Crash and burn Mav…” Come on people! It’s from Top Gun. So the day ended and although it was unproductive, I still had hella fun. Sorry about the Northern California “hella” slang.
