I Can Use My PDA!

A while ago, I had taken apart my old Handspring Visor Deluxe. I had put it way in an anti-static bag. I pretty much gave up on trying to put it back together. After reading No Plot? No Problem!, I was inspired to take it out and try to put it together.

At first, I couldn’t find one the pieces to the battery thing so I used a distorted paperclip. Then, I tried popping in some old batteries, since I had no new ones. Now the only thing left to do was to connect it to my PC. Yet again, I had deleted a program off of my computer a few days before I needed it. Luckily, I found the last piece to the battery thing and I found a driver for the Visor.

I hope I can use the Visor for my novel.

Tangible Business

My novel will be titled Tangible Business. It’s almost time to write it. I’m gonna finish my Spanish project right now so I can work on my novel on Tuesday, because no school on Election day! By the way, the novel’s new URL is http://tangbiz.blogspot.com/

An Early Preview

Did anyone notice that there was an early preview of The Incredibles in Finding Nemo? This guy did.

Freakin’ Bengali Guy

People like this guy give Bangladeshi immigrants/first generation Americans of Bengali descent. He got credit cards from his wife and he did all that?

My Other Name

I found out that after I was born, I was named John. My last name was either Steven or Stephen (I don’t understand which because of my mom’s accent.) How cool is that? Having two full names. I named the main character in my novel, Tangible Business, after myself.

Nice Radio Station

Indie Pop Rocks is a nice radio station I found using iTunes. I’m listening to Elf Power’s Introducing Cosmic Space. It has nice off-key vocals.

New Playstation 2 Design

Wow, I wish I could afford the time to get this. It’s the new redesigned Playstation 2. Looks sweet.

Free Manual Typewriter

Does anyone have a manual typewriter they can afford to give away? I was thinking of working on my novel on a typewriter. An electric one’ll be fine, too. Wait, I think I might have a typewriter lying around the house, or maybe my dad threw it out. Please leave a comment if you are willing to donate one.

Ad Writing

Would anyone like to me to write an ad? Contact me or leave a comment for an estimate.

Milk Carton Dispenser

I just noticed that the bottom of a half-gallon milk carton has slightly larger dimensions than a 3½ floppy disk. Hmm… Maybe there’s some potential profit in this finding.
