Blogger.

Blogger has been a little slow, and I apologize for that. You may have noticed that it hasn't been posting some of my posts. I have had to repost them today because sometimes Blogger just quits and sometimes it doesn't want to do post it. Whatever the case is, the problem has been resolved and you will see my posts appear on a regular basis.

The Black Donnellys

I just have to write about this awesome series that I discovered called The Black Donnellys. It was on NBC before it was cancelled. The entire series lasted for only 13 episodes! It's too bad because it's a great show. It's about four brothers that are involved in the Irish mob. The Irish are fighting against the Italians for territory, money etc. Anyway, I have to issue this warning: DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH. It's a great show, but it's filled with killing, and blood. Once you look aside from that, you'll see that it's truly a great show. This perticular show probably didn't last for very long because it was not really a great fit for TV land. It was hard to follow all of the storylines unless you saw all of the episodes back-to-back. That's what I did, except I saw the pilot episode a few weeks before. Admittedly, it was still kind of hard to follow everything.

Update on Spring Break 2008

Hey everybody. It's Monday of Spring Break week, and I'm so excited to be on break. I have the rest of the week to just relax and unwind. I'm just sleeping. I ordered the Black Donnellys on DVD, so that should come soon. I can't wait to see it!

Spring Break 2008

Hey guys. As of today I'm officially on Spring Break!!! I'm just going to relax, watch TV, some DVDs and sleep. I'll hang out with Pete and Rach a lot too.

你好。我的名字是Bill 。您是好的? 我上午是优良。真正地冷静, 我能写在汉语。这是全部由于一个美妙的功能在我的Mac 。我认为, 我写整个过帐在汉语。实际上相当冷静能写象这样。我爱Mac 。那部分是因为这是简单和复杂被混合入一个。用户能查找对Mac 最基本的功能象文字处理的初学者, 高级用户的用途能查找对Mac 的用途被编译在工具里。高级用户大概获得多数乐趣虽则。他或她能查找各种各样的冷静文丐和修改适用于用户接口。看起来好象没有中国词为Macintosh 计算机。我打赌, 您不知道有超过二十六千个字符在汉语语言! 那是相当疯狂的! 它必须是极端难为中国人记住他们全部。当前时间是二三十下午二点。我能谈话和几个小时谈话用中文。我会打赌, 汉语是一个坚硬语言学会。我从未私有尝试了它, 因此我无法从经验实际上说。什么

I translated today's post to Chinese. I thought that it would be an interesting twist.

Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard

I'm hoping to get a new computer. When I get the new computer, it will come with Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard. Leopard is Apple’s brand new operating system, and it’s jam packed with some awesome new features. Among those new features are Spaces, a program integrated into Finder that allows you to have multiple desktops. Cover Flow has been integrated into Finder allowing one to browse previews of PDF’s and more just by scrolling through them in the Finder. Time machine is just a new backup system allowing your system to revert back to an earlier version if necessary. Parental controls have been expanded, allowing parents to set time limits for the kids. If I were to buy the upgrade for my current computer, it would cost $129! That’s just one of the many reasons that I have to get a whole new computer.

I would like to take a few minutes to talk about bullying. It occurs everywhere; in schools, in public places like parks, at work and more. I have been one of many victims of bullying. A very small amount of bullying is something that I consider to be normal. I don’t mind a little. It just shows that the bullies are insecure about one or more flaws in their character. It doesn’t bother me if bullying happens only a little bit because I can just brush it off. The problem is that recently it has happened in larger amounts. The worst part: The teacher did absolutely nothing about it. If it does continue, I will be forced to take action. I am still writing my speech to the school board. I might just incorporate bullying into it. The administration would be another place to turn if the school board does nothing. That is HIGHLY unlikely though. The board would most definitely take action against bullying.

More Computer Trouble

I am having more trouble. Now the computer charger just gave out. I’m out of a computer for like a week. That’s bad because I completely lose touch with the world! News, weather, stocks; everything is on the computer. The good part of this catastrophe is that I’ll have plenty of time to write posts. I’m going to be writing a big list of things that I plan to write about. Anyway, I went to the Apple store at Partridge Creek. They told me that it was the LogicBoard. That’s Applespeak for the motherboard. When I asked how much it would be to fix, they told me that it would be $560. Then I asked how much it would probably sell for on eBay, she said it would probably fetch around $500. What I plan to do, is spend the $80 to get a new charger, and then sell it on eBay. It should fetch a lot of money. I’m hoping for at least $700 because I’m bundling Microsoft Office and some Adobe programs with it. The whole package(bundled software plus the computer) is probably worth somewhere between $900 and $1000. That plus some of my savings will allow me to purchase a MacBook or even a Macbook Pro! I would be able to get a fully loaded MacBook or a well equipped MacBook Pro for that price. I think what I plan to do is certainly sell my laptop, and purchase a new 15” MacBook Pro. I don’t think that I can afford the 17”, but I would absolutely love to have one. I was also thinking about getting a job to help replenish my savings.
