Power to the Apple Users

As many laptops users must know, having access to an outlet at a moments notice is pretty crucial to a long lived project. At my current campus it seems they forgot this and when they were building the NEW less then a year old building they put hardly any outlets in the commons areas they built. We're talking 20-30 seats to every outlet. That could leave a lot of laptop users SOL and it seems almost every student has one now-a-days.

Onwards to my rant. This very impolite individual came up with her Apple Laptop. If you know nothing about Apple laptops then I'm telling you the power cables have very large ends, and if plugged in improperly can cover the second socket. How dense do you have to be in a public area with other laptop users to cover and waste a socket. I guess it's because Apple users are to busy running their mouths about how great their apple is that they don't have time to have an intelligent thought like "Wow, someone might need that other socket, better be polite and make sure it's open because I know my unit does not generate enough pull to have a need to block the other socket."

But hey, most people will be like "Mindless whining about a laptop about to die," and perhaps it's true but that just rubbed me the wrong way today and it reminds me of how much I am annoyed by rude cell phone users.

Ipod Explosion

Ever see those exploded diagrams of something? Say like the inner workings of an Ipod? Some fan of the diagrams decided to make his own and decided he wanted to use his Ipod. Funny thing is, he made sure it still worked even in the diagram.

I recommend checking it out, his post included pictures of his work, though he sadly thought it was flawed, because of a few mishaps. My only hope is that he'll make another one of something equally interesting.

Exploded Ipod Still Works

FFXI Subtle Advertising

So I'm really stoked and ready to run to the store to buy my copy of Wings of the Goddess when if finally releases later this month. It is the newest Expansion to Final Fantasy XI if someone was wondering. I'm a really big fan of the game.

Anyway back to the purpose of the post, while I was out browsing Big Lots I found a product that made me laugh because the name of it shares the name of a monster in FFXI.
