Portal:Prelude is OUT!

I'm posting, and I'm Still Alive.

I've been anticipating this mod for all of one week, and it's finally out! Shame you can only get it off FilePlanet. I've been waiting in line for a while now, and I've only moved ten places.

Expect a review or something once I get it downloaded.

PICAXE is Here!

My PICAXE stuff came in today. If anyone says anything bad about Advanced Micro Circuits Corp., they're wrong. I got everything at a great time, and in my hour of free time, I managed to make this little blinking light (sorry for the low quality):

What Ate My Time? (Part 2)

Sorry it's late; I've had a busy week, occasionally without power/internet.

The second time-waster I've been hooked on recently is Garry's Mod. If you haven't used it before, you need to get it and any Source game. In Garry's Mod, you can access props, items and characters from any Source game, and use a set of tools on them in an environment. It doesn't sound like anything when I explain it, but it really is awesome. By itself, it's only a $10 purchase, so I really had no reason not to buy it. Now I only have to buy the rest of The Orange Box; I only have Portal.

In other news, my laptop doesn't seem to want to let me click in a certain area of my screen. I just installed Vista SP1: could this be the source of my problem?

Modern Ninja Weapon: MacBook Air

I need one of these. Not for another laptop, but as a weapon for self-defense. It'll definitely save me some time during the flesh and bread invasions.

On another note, Safari is telling me MacBook is spelled wrong.

Holographic storage ships next month!

Everyday I find another thing I want, can't wait for and really don't want to spend all my money on. This is one of those things. Of course, I really would have no use for it, not counting showing off. I still want it though. Anyone want to give me $18,000?

Cool New Invention: Gravity Powered Lamp

I want one of these. It may not save a lot of money on the power bills, but it's still pretty cool. Plus, gravity powered device may have some better uses...

Any idea if it could power a motor to turn it over? I know I could make one that falls over once it's done, for 8 hours instead of 4, but the idea I have would still need someone to let go of it.
