Intel announces industry's smallest SSD chips


The picture says it all, Intel's going crazy small with its latest SSD chips, but it's certainly not leaving capacity behind. The new Intel Z-P140 PATA SSD chips come in 2GB and 4GB capacities, are extendable up to 16GB, and weigh less than a drop of water. We're already impatient for phone manufacturers and DAP makers to start cramming these into their devices, and the RAID opportunities are really sinful. Intel should be showing the chips off at CES in January, no word on when we'll see 'em hit the market.

The Laziest Cat In The World

Priceless...View here.

Oh bye the way, since it is the day, I'm heading up to Charlotte in just a few minutes to see I Am Legend. Sweet!

I Am Legend


This coming weekend I'm super excited to see I Am Legend, a semi horror film with Will Smith as the last man on earth. If you haven't seen the trailer, check it out here.




On the funny side, this mp3 has been spotted across some drug stores and is just hilarious to see compared to the size of the iPod Touch. It's 256MB of space is double funny.

Christmas Concert/Shopfest


So last night me & dad attended Ab's Christmas concert put on at her church(The Summit). It was awesome, especially seeing a 300 person choir. The 1200 people there had to of been impressed also. Since mom was stuck in Charleston she had to wait until tonight to see it. So, she was able to finally make it out to my new place here in Fayettenam and visit my church before heading to Raleigh for the Christmas event.

I made some headway on the Christmas shopping frenzy today and will hopefully finish most of it tonight after church. Despite the lame influence Americans have had on making Christmas a full out shopping holiday and forgetting why there is a Christmas, I have to head out in the madness and buy stuff. On the plus side, this will make it two years that the Cress side of things are giving money to a needy family. Anyway, Dave, I'll be in town on the 14th...and since you are leaving NC for a nice imaging job in Florida we'll have to make the best of it. Still though, I'm sure it's a huge Christmas gift to you that you have a definite position before you have even graduated...something huge to look forward to at the beginning of the year. You're the man Dave!

Oh and Tucker is pretty excited about Christmas. I'm sure.

Nice to hear


I ran across this company today that is based around making speaker systems for audiophiles, Perfect8. Anyway, their products look extremely interesting but wouldn't be something set in an area for children to play on of course. From the site it looks like they are based out of Sweden...so most likely I'll never get to hear them in action unless there is a trip planned to Europe sometime. We'll see.

This weekend...possibly be heading into Raleigh on Saturday to see Abby's Christmas concert at The Summit.

Christmas Dinner: Blendtec Style

Earlier this year someone showed me this site (Will It Blend) and it is just fun. So, just in time for Christmas dinner, enjoy the blending!

The Guys' Rules

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down. Finally, the guys' side of the story. We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

3D coolness

I went to see Beowulf in 3D over the weekend...very cool. As always, I can't help myself when a soldier's sword or spear is coming out of the screen and I have to see if it is real, haha. And, we got to keep the cool ultra ugly 3D glasses.
