Tonight I started and almost finished the framework for my first Android app. 1. Edit my manifest to give me permissions to receive and read SMS. 2. Edit my manifest to point to a receiver class for SMS events. 3. Create a main class to stop and start the background

I'm pretty frickin excited about some upcoming shows. I haven't yet bought tickets because I think I'm the only one that expresses any excitement. I'd prefer to drag someone along with me so here is my sell: Menomena - Thursday, October 7th @ 8PM

This past weekend I went up to Buffalo for Don and Tiffany's wedding. You can find some great pictures of the wedding here: I drove the Z up on Thursday to stop by and have dinner with my dad, and to go see Jaime. That's an

Thanks to a very helpful Devon Kerr I now know what parts of my PC were causing my prior trouble. I was running a Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz LGA 775 in an Asus Striker Extreme mobo with 4GB of DDR2 800 RAM. I played around with every possible video

I have resolved to take a US History class and become the foremost expert on Thomas Paine. I will write many books and essays. I will refer to him as T. Paine in all literary works. I will laugh hysterically. That is all.
