I’ve always wanted to build my own computer from scratch.  You know, go through a list of components, purchase each bit myself, assemble it all together, and then install my operating system.  I have the knowledge to do it, but the patience might be my big concern.  One of the reasons why I’ve got the […]

So you’ve been hanging around, not studying, waiting to crack the spine of your geology/economics/women’s studies book for weeks. Exams and midterms aren’t even close yet! It’s a good excuse, but what happens when you’ve got 24-48 to cram half a semester’s worth of material into your cerebrum? You do it properly. First, make a […]

You follow, and are followed, by different people in the internet community. For some people, they will tell you in 140 characters or less on what they are eating, what traffic […]

Property is a status symbol. It can be like sporting a fancy pair of Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses or having the ability to put your dog in a handbag. That’s hot… But property has allure unlike poodles in a purse. I’m talking about owning your very own island, people. And what’s better than landing a […]

After bachin’ (pronounced “batchin”) it up for five years or so, it can be difficult and tiring for a guy to go from ramen noodles and Hungry Man dinners to salad forks and cleansing his palate. Luckily, no one here on the internet expects the not-so-fairer sex to do it on their own. Ploomy, a […]
