(that is, transistor...

    Someone Has Screwed This Computer. Halp!

    because of garage band? pc's arent bad too, you can load cubase on it and then shove in a $500 soundcard or something. Trickier on a mac. but they look all arty and cool tho i guess, but for home recording studio type stuff it's meh. also, go into safe mode while you do your scans...

    Birthday invites

    if you wanna make somethign artsy, the acutal program to use is adobe illustrator. That is, if you want to create an image within the program, eg. brushstrokes, vector art. but if you just want to chuck a few photos together then photoshop is the go. You need some basic talent and know-how tho,

    Don't drink coke!

    that's bs. don't believe everything your parents tell you. I believe you're referencing a study (but probably not, you must be a catholic, such that if coffee feels good then it must be bad for you) in the 70's where samples of coffee drinkers were taken, that were smoking at the same time.

    use an officespace quote: "Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way [the boss] can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour. I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for...

    Traveling Overseas long flights

    people get so caught up in the business class/ economy crap. It is where the airline makes all it's money on suckers, wine, space etc. doesnt cost the extra 8000 (or even more, i never cared to look) they charge you. Honestly, if someone came to me and said; "i'm going to pay you $8000...
