I’m going to try something new.. I’m thinking of posting more media on the page as sort of a chronicle of whats going on.. anything from random snapshots to things that caused carbonated beverage to be expelled via my nasal passages…

The past few days have produced what one co-worker labeled the “trifecta of celebrity deaths.” At the time, Michael Jackson was practicing for his upcoming comeback tour. Said co-worker pondered who the third might be. Ed McMahon passed a couple days ago and then Farrah Fawcett early yesterday. Farrah chronicled her battle with cancer in a rather shocking and honest video diary, clips of which have been shown on the news quite frequently. Then yesterday, starting at 5:15pm, I started seeing news reports via my phone (@cnnbrk) that MJ had a heart attack. Reports that followed said he was in a coma and then that he had died. More reports said he hadn’t died, but then truth finally was confirmed. Michael Jackson was dead at age 50.

I’ve wrapped up my 2nd-to-last quarter of school.. I can’t wait to graduate!

I really have no idea what to talk about.. I’m hoping that by the end of this paragraph I can have a topic in mind.. Time’s up, but I have been thinking quite a bit lately about what to write about.. such topics as:

• The California court’s decision to uphold Prop 8
• Something about soccer?
• How Aptana is rocking my world (aptana.com)
• This quaint little canoe/kayak rental shop I had the pleasure of renting from this weekend (churchvillelighthouse.com)
• The season finale of 24
• LOTRO (I’m cruising around in Angmar)
• My trip next week to DC
• Really really wanting to build another computer (Please someone have a few hundred $ laying around so I can be constructive)

So let’s chat it up.. lets get a discussion going on in the comments!

For your *DERP DERP* viewing pleasure

Before I say anything else, I would just like to thank the Dan and the other Zomgees for the opportunity to post on their prestigious blog. Now for the important stuff: I have a problem. Since I will be a college student as of August, I need to get a computer. This is where things get difficult because I have to balance portability, usability, cost, and the fun factor (gaming, etc.). I had originally wanted to get a Macbook, but now I am not so sure. I also though about doing a netbook and desktop, but with some of the things I have recently heard about netbooks, that might not be the best idea either. The main thing I want is something that has the functionality of a desktop paired with the portability of a laptop. That is my problem/question. What does the Zomgee community think (keeping in mind that I am not a millionaire)?

Edit: It seems the first time this was published, no emails were sent out, so I took ownership of the post and republished it ~Dan
