    I just felt my first earthquake! Our entire building shook. I felt like I was riding one of those indoor, virtual roller coaster rides. No one's hurt though. Read More »

  • ATI HD4850

    By ChiS, on Fri Jul 18, 2008 12:35pm PDT

    I got my new video card yesterday, replacing my aging 8800GTS 320 with an HIS Radeon HD4850. My gaming computer is happy again. I also replaced two OCZ sticks with Crucial Ballistix Tracers; so now I have four blinking sticks in my computer. My vista performance index is now 5.9 for everything... Read More »

  • ROKU vs HTPC

    By ChiS, on Tue Jul 15, 2008 12:20pm PDT

    This blog is meaningless to almost everyone, but I think it's super cool. Roku - Stream Netflix to your TV - http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/99078 I feel so special that I built my own HTPC that does everything. It's got an Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad, NVidia 8800GT with 512MB of vram, 4 GB of... Read More »

  • 30,000 years and counting

    As it turns out, homo sapients have occupied this planet for the last 30,000 or so years. It only took them 10,000 years or so to discover fire. For the first 29,500 or so years, they thought that the world was flat. Then when they suspected the world was round, they thought that the sun revolved... Read More »

    So this is what will happen when aliens come to earth. 1) They'll eat us because we're really tasty. They'll also give us hormone injections to make us meatier. 2) They'll put us in zoos because we look funny. 3) They'll make us into their pets because we can do tricks.... Read More »

  • Q9450

    By ChiS, on Mon Jul 7, 2008 1:13pm PDT

    I bought a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 2.67GHz processor from Fry's this weekend. It flies, but I'm bummed that I can't overclock it beyond 2.9GHz because of my weak motherboard - P35-DS3L. Apparently the motherboard doesn't overclock the new 45nm quads well. So now I have to buy another... Read More »

  • Faith

    By ChiS, on Wed Jun 18, 2008 4:21pm PDT

    Ok, so here's the thing. I grew up attending church all of my childhood. I've been baptized like three times, once as a Presbyterian, and twice as a Baptist. I go to a Catholic church with my wife on Sundays. I'm mostly good, and I would never do anything to deliberately harm anyone or... Read More »
