Well, it’s been nearly a whole month since I managed to post. Where in the world did the time go? Between getting ready to move and catching up on random tasks (finding and registering for classes, spending hours at DMV, etc) the days have been flying by. I’ve also been hesitant to get into the ridiculous game that is U.S. politics any more than I already have. Since that’s been a large part of recent events, my motivation to write about anything has dwindled.

Fear not, however. With the primary season essentially over, I’ve found a renewed desire to read the news again.

On that note, something of interest out of the tech world this morning; Crysis (a very high-end game) appears to run quite well on a 1.8 GHz VIA Nano CPU. Since Crysis states its minimum requirements as 2.8GHz (or 3.2GHz if you’re running Vista) this is quite impressive. Even better, the Nano uses far less power than most current CPUs. You can read more here.

Also of interest, it appears the hated (at least by me) Blackberry platform has found another reason to continue to exist. If you’re an E-Trade customer, they now have an application for Blackberries that will allow instant trades from your phone. I dislike Blackberries because of this very type of thing; they still manage to remain a proprietary, no-options platform. How they still manage to thrive when there are much easier and better ways of doing everything a Blackberry does (and more) mystifies me.

I will be posting more soon… and soon does not equal thirty days this time.
