    Interesting, Non Political News

    My parents live in Mississippi and it's very white, well at least around them which is the key. They have never been to Jackson in the 15 years they have lived there. The only black person I see on a regular basis when I visit them is the guy that does yard work for them. Full time he's an...

    I looked at the weather this morning and we were under a red flag, low humidity and high wind warning. I assume that meant later in the day because at the time the wind was about 5mph and the humidity around 40%. Edit- just looked at 5pm. Wind 11mph, humidity 29%. Talk about warnings for...

    Desktop Computers

    Well that was easy. I had the computer on my large table for a while now. It was totally dead as mentioned. So before I went any further I plugged it up and the lights came on and the LEDs showed power. Of course nothing plugged into it but it had life.

The CPU I took out and tried it in my other computer and it worked just fine. Hard drive, graphics card, kayboard and mouse all switched out and they worked. Trying to...

    I browse slick deals every so often for stuff just to get an idea on prices. Besides as mentioned looks like microcenter is the best normally. But even other places the best price on memory now is to buy an entire package combo, it's definetly the deal sweetner of coice. If I had a microcenter...

    Health Problems

    It's been a long time ago but the first time I had the exam they do with dye I passed out cold turkey in milliseconds. All they had asked was I allergic to shelfish.
