it’s 2012 bitches ….

now that i’ve gotten that out of my system i’ll get right down to business. i’ve neglected this blog for a year. i’ve been cheating with tumblr and blogger and i make no apologies for it. it’s not normal to be a tech monogamist. i’m just saying. but i want to do this blog justice because it was my second. and it has my face on it. and i absolutely love the title because aren’t we all searching for meaning and the point of life and stuff?

well, even if you aren’t, my title is cool damnit! so i had to think of how i wanted to incorporate this blog into the fray. i have five blogs. yep, five. why? who knows. because i can? because i like to write? because they’re free? sigh. because i’m a blog bag lady. yep, probably.

but this year, not that it’s a new year’s resolution or anything, but because i just like the promise of a new year and get my stuff in order, i’m going to at least post once a week about the meaning of life. hehehe. yep, let’s drink to that. i hold the secrets you are looking for. i know why the caged bird sings. if you’re nice to me i’ll tell you. even if you aren’t nice, i’ll tell you. i’m cool like that.

where does the time go?

it has been ages since i’ve updated my blog here. i’ve kind of been cheating on wordpress with blogger. well, not completely cheating since my two personal websites sunlessinseattl.com and thecopywritingace.com are both wordpress based sites. but the whole blogging thing has been all blogger this year. oh and a little tumblr. i don’t post original content on tumblr. i most just reblog stuff other people post. some people use that as their main blog. i don’t. right now blogger is my main blog. but i don’t share it with anyone so that kind of defeats the purpose i guess. but i don’t want to share it so it works just fine for me.

anyway, as with each new year, i have big plans for my writing. i want to be cool and awesome and timely and regular. by march i usually fall off. so i will make no such promises here. i’ll just work on a decent editorial calendar and share the love with all my sites. probably stretching myself too thin but then again, that’s what we’re supposed to do right?

apple fangeeks are wii fangeeks

Nourisha — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 17:02:52 +0000

apparently the apple doesn’t fall far from wii. (hehehehe). according to a post on my nintendo news, apple fangirls and fanboys love them some wii.

A recent survey conducted with 3,035 iPhone/iPod/iPad users by the Npoll iOS app shows that the majority of those surveyed prefer the Nintendo Wii over Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3.

Nintendo Wii is the most popular console with 51% of users telling NPolls they own this game console, followed by Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, and Nintendo DS.

Well, there you go son!

i’m a snowboarder!

Nourisha — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 20:29:30 +0000

each year i choose three things to learn and three things to try. this year i’ve been a little lax in completing my list but i’m happy to report that a major thing was checked off the list this past weekend. i went snowboarding for the first time and i’m officially hooked! snowboarding is beyond fun and i can’t wait to get back on the slopes to go for it again. i’m not a rock star by any means but it came way more naturally than i expected. i did grow tired of all the kids who knew what they were doing because they kept showing off. and then the kids that were out there for the first time or too young to maneuver in the snow were working my nerves! but alas, i fully plan to have my bambinos out there as soon as they are old enough once the time comes. snowboarding rocks my world!

earning your geek pass

Nourisha — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 22:53:20 +0000

i don’t hesitate to call myself a geek because i know who i am. but not everyone wants to fly their geek flag with pride. i have to say i’m not a fan of the closet geeks out there. embrace your geek. for those who aren’t sure if they quite qualify for a certified geek pass, i’ve found this simple quiz. if you know the references, you’re a geek. and ain’t nothing wrong with it! (This is not my list. I got it from here. Thanks Tech Tips)

You’d rather communicate with people via e-mail, text messaging, instant message, or Twitter, then face to face, because “it’s just easier that way.”
If you’ve ever used “Joshua” as a password and thought you were being clever.

You have a junkyard full of extra computer parts in your garage.
You built your own PC and giggle when people tell you they have a Dell or HP computer.
Your PC has 4GB of RAM OR MORE…

You have a cable internet connection but would like a T-1 line if
it was reasonably affordable.
You give your servers little pet names ex: Maximus or WOPR.
You know that W.O.P.R. doesn’t refer to just a hamburger

You listen to the idiot anyway…
World of Warcraft is constantly on your to-do list.
You have four (or more) computers at your house, and it “just isn’t enough.”
You know that Debian, Ubuntu and Mandrake are just funny kids names.
You actually name your kids Debian, Ubuntu or Mandrake.
You’ve ever used “12345″ as a password and thought you were being clever.
No matter how fast your computer turns on, it still isn’t “fast enough”… even if it is just waking up from a sleep mode.
You passionately argue the virtues of (pick ‘em): Windows vs. Apple vs. Linux / ATI vs. nVidia / AMD vs. Intel / LCD vs. Plasma / Star Wars vs. Star Trek vs. / Comics vs. Graphic Novels / HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray / USB vs. Firewire / Jobs vs. Gates / etc. etc…
You loathe people who buy iPods, iPhones, or iTouches just because they are the hip things to own.
You secretly covet having an iPod, iPhone, or iTouch – but are too embarrassed to own one because of what your geek friends would think.
Your family calls you to fix their computers… so do your non-geek friends (or friend)… so do strangers…
You have major farmer’s tan!
You own five or more useless gadgets that run off your USB ports.
Your “laptop” with its massive 20-inch screen weighs more then your “desktop computer.”
