del.icio.us again.
I am back to using Delicious. The old account with Delicious got out of hand. I had no good organization of all my tags, so I could never find anything I bookmarked. So I stopped using the damned thing. As you can see from the sidebar of bookmarks.
Here is my new account - http://delicious.com/andypeters
I’ll be intermingling that with this blog and my sites soon. I know I...

More True Blood
YES!
HBO Decided to give us all more True Blood.
I love this show. It became a much different show than I thought it would. The interviews and previews I saw, I guess I expected something more silly and dumb. Why in the world would I think Alan Ball would do that? Good news is that I was wrong. I’m loving it so far and I am excited there isn’t an end in site.
Thank you HBO...

Superbad was about as funny as Indiana Jones. Except Superbad I was laughing with the movie, not at it.

Did you you too just come home with Wester Digital drive from Best Buy today? Who could have beat the deal, a full 1TB external drive for 189$. Not to shabby. Well don’t you get a bit mad when all the obvious things you do to format the drive to Mac OS Journal Filesystem (HFS+) fail miserably. After two seconds on Google I found this link. Below is the solution!

there sure is a lot of buzz on this lately. after watching the videos on this link it is clear it’s part of the act. figured so, everyone part of NiN is focused on quality… BSOD wouldn’t happen by accident more than once on tour.

New favorite Textmate theme
I use Textmate alot. Primarly for Ruby and Ruby on Rails development, like 80% of the rest of the world. Well I am big on having my development environment look great, but make it easier on the eyes/brain… basically get things done quicker. The color scheme of your editor is one of those things that need to be perfect.
RubyRobot is my new theme that is totally awesome. It’s a bit...

WARNING - fotoconnection.com
I almost pulled the trigger on a new lens from www.fotoconnection.com. After an uneasy feeling, I called them. Became more uneasy. He called a “buyer”. I asked him if it was his freaking drug buyer, he was silent.

He kept reassuring me that this is not a “grey market” lens. It is the american...
