HOW TO: renew your friendship with your laptop battery
How to recalibrate your laptop battery – Lifehacker
I got a new laptop. It’s an Asus W3V. It’s awesome. WoW looks better on this thing than on my desktop. Yikes.
I also got my camera back from Canon Repairs this week. Boy, I’ve missed that thing.
Hooray! I’m all techified again.
Super-awesome plugin: SpamLookup!
one of the reasons my blog has been feeling “not-mine” lately is because i’ve been getting so much comment spam. over the weekend, i found a spiffy movable type plugin called SpamLookup that’s been doing a marvelous job filtering out the crap so far.
I plug because I love.
