As mentioned in the last post I wrote about my new toy, I had to send my graphics card back. The original graphics card was an EVGA 8600 GT. Well, after getting a replacement card, I tried it out on my new machine, and once again, the same problems occurred (wouldn't boot, beep codes, etc). After flashing the BIOS, trying the video card in a different PCI Express slot, it still wouldn't work. :(

movie studios make straight to cable/DVD movies. If they know that the movie is not good enough to turn a profit by releasing it to movie theaters, then why the hell do they waste money on making the movie?!?!! I don't think I've seen a good straight to cable/DVD movie EVER! (Well, I did like Steven Seagal's The Patriot, but it still had bad acting) Studios need to stop wasting money on crappy

Well, I've received all my new computer parts and I got everything put together the other night. However, this process did not go as smoothly as I would've liked.First, after everything was assembled I tried booting up for the first time just to be greeted by a nice POST beep code. Because my motherboard manual did not mention anything about the POST codes, I had to look them up online. Once this

I was listening to Nickelback in my truck this afternoon while driving home from campus and I couldn't help but think back on the numerous times someone has told me that they despise Nickelback. And everytime I ask those people why they hate Nickelback, they cannot give me an answer past "I just hate them", "They suck", etc. It's kind of like when I ask people why they LOVE Dane Cook and all I

After my awesome internship this summer, I've been sitting on a little bank trying to figure out what I wanted to do with it. After some thinking (actually not really that much), I decided it should be about time to build a new computer! I just submitted my order to Newegg for the components for my new toy!! Check out the specs below:Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz 1.3GHz FSBASUS P5Q Pro Intel P45

Howdy! Sorry it's been so long since I've made a post :-\ I've been kept pretty busy this year.Nothing really to report from the Spring semester of graduate school. I just stayed to my same routine, going out, concerts, work, and school. After the semester finished up in May, I had my summer internship to look forward to :)During the Fall 2007 semester, I recruited with numerous companies for an

Linkin Park has been one of my favorite bands for a while now. I remember discovering them long before a lot of people had. I saw their music video for "One Step Closer" on MTV really late one night and found their album online and instantly fell in love. That was back in 2000, long before their 2002 Grammy Nomination for Best New Artist. I own copies of "Hybrid Theory", "Meteora", and "Live in

First, a little musical background on myself. I love music! I consider myself a music nerd. Pretty much the only times I'm not listening to music is when I'm sleeping, studying, or when I'm visually and/or verbally engaged with someone or something. I mainly listen to Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, and Texas Country, though I am open to and listen to almost everything except for most rap. Not only do I

The moment that I was hoping wouldn't come all football season has arrived. The team I despise the most, LSU, beat Ohio State 38 - 24 to win the 2008 BCS National Championship title. Now, I thought this moment would ruin my year, but it's not so bad. I think the following are helping ease this traumatic time for me:1) LSU has a very talented team this year, I just don't like the school.2) OSU put

Sports Illustrated online has come out with the Top 25 Games played in 2007 encompassing all sports at all levels. I would like to point out that both of LSU's conference losses made No.'s 9 and 10. Also, for the record, LSU is the first 2 loss team to compete for the BCS National title. Read my last post to view more on what I think about that.For those of you who do not know me, I am not much

I am originally from Baton Rouge, LA and I am home this week visiting for Christmas. One of the big stories on the news last night was the arrival of the football teams from the University of Hawai'i and the University of Georgia in preparation of the Sugar Bowl, which just so happens to be a game in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). And this is where I start on my ramblings of why the BCS

Well friends, I am continuing the transition into Web 2.0 and have started a blog. I'm not sure how much time I will be able to dedicate to this thing, but when I do get a chance, most of my postings will be about computers and technology, music, movies, and sometimes sports. I'm sure I'll also throw in other random ass stuff occasionally. Check back whenever you have a chance and have fun
