I’m afraid that a power outage this morning may have busted my motherboard on my desktop computer. If you would like to contact me, send all e-mail to lchelak@gmail. I can easily check this address online :)

I guess it’s off to Circuit City or one of those stores… I can’t live without my computer for very long haha. Especially when I have a 15 page paper and portfolio due on Monday…

update: 4/29
I’ve fixed the problem… and I’m pretty sure it was just over-heating. I’ll be creating a new design tonight hopefully, if that doesn’t come up tonight, then I have a post or two to publish ;)

This is the kind of stuff you think of when you picture our world in the future… electronics dispensed through vending machines. Imagine the anger you’d feel if your 60 GB video iPod got stuck between the glass.

From Techblog:

Zoom Systems has debuted their iPod vending machine(s) at the Las Vegas Hilton. First seen at San Francisco International Airport, San Francisco Argent Hotel, and Hartsfield Atlanta Airport last year.

“Located in the Las Vegas Hilton, home to the Star Trek Experience and Barry Manilow, this robotic retail system dispenses a variety of iPods and iPod accessories.”

Just like the Jetsons…

I giggled outloud when I saw this advertisement pop up:

If one clicks on the link, this site appears with the following:

Dear Reader,
You probably already know that Canada is famous for it’s huge social programs…

It’s even written in the Canadian Constitution that the richer provinces have to share their wealth with the poorer ones – a program commonly referred to as “equalization.”

What you might not know is that there’s a unique situation right now in Canada that is allowing Americans to fund part or nearly all of their retirement.

It’s a program a lot like “equalization,” except that regular Americans, like you and me, can take advantage.

The site then goes on to site numerous people who have cashed in on their royalty checks. Woooohooo! FREE MONEY. I love gimics like this :P
