iAbstinence part 1

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Hello, my name is Nick, and I bought a mac.

The first step on the road to recovery is to admit that you have a problem, right?  Look, before you applephiliacs get all out of sorts I should tell you that it hasn’t worked right from the get-go.  It crashed the first day I had it!  And don’t ask me whether it was a “black screen” or a “beachball”, I don’t give a shit.  It’s broken, and the extra $500 I spent on it instead of a PC absolves me of any responsibility for what happened or how to fix it.  ALSO, if I hear one more dipshit in Hollister jeans and puberty stubble tell me “well it shouldn’t do that, it’s and Apple”, I will follow them home and destroy everything they love.  It DID do that, idiot, saying that it “shouldn’t” doesn’t magically make it a better computer, it’s STILL FUCKING BROKEN!!!!!

…and where does all of this leave me?

I was snooping around work the other day, and while looking over a coworker’s shoulder I saw this picture:

Wow, that broadcast does look horrifying, but news worthy?  I don’t know.  Living in an area where most murders don’t even make the news, I find it hard to believe that this guys goofy face would make it on it’s own.  Luckily my coworker had just stood up, leaving his computer vulnerable to my attacks.  I scroll up to find this headline at the top of the page:

Awesome, I had to learn more.  So I read the whole article on AOL, and a couple of things really stuck out to me. (more…)

oops, we fucked up time

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

I woke up yesterday morning in a hungover stupor.  Hours later, feeling a little better, but still utterly confused, I decided to make my way home.  I glanced at the clock in the dashboard only to find out that it was an hour later than I thought.  This couldn’t be right.  I reached for my phone.  That had the time that I thought it was, but it was dying, and therefore not to be trusted.  Plus, the iPod was corroborating my car’s story.  “Not to worry” I thought “I’ll figure it out when I get home”.

IF ONLY IT WERE THAT EASY!!!

But no, it’s not.  I came home to discover that my alarm clock had reset itself in the night, and I had offset my other alarm intentionally, some how.  It was an effort to wake myself up in a panic (I won’t get out of bed otherwise), but it backfired.  Next, my computer.  It agreed with my phone, almost, but it’s always wrong about everything, so no help there.  THE INTERNET!!! It would have to know, so I asked it.

Yea, guess what else “isn’t that easy”. (more…)
