Miranda

I have been using this computer for several years, and this is the first time that I realize that I have named it, “Miranda.” I’m not sure what the reference is.

I’m betting it’s not the rights, however timely it may be. It’s probably not Miranda from the Tempest, as that does not follow any of the normal naming conventions that I have used in the past.

About the only reference I can think of is Miranda Lotto from D. Grey-Man. Which is a stretch. I was never really into the series, although I’m considering reading the manga.

Ghost Widow

The 5th Gen iPod Nano is a really feature rich device for being, well, nano sized.  I don’t know where to begin.

I like the video camera, but I can’t see myself using it much except in those situations where I find myself needing a middling quality video camera.  On the other hand, I’ve got a middling quality video camera in my tiny music and video player.

The pedometer is interesting although I will probably not use it much.  I know my route every day and I’ll maybe turn it on for special occasions.

The screen is fantastic looking and I’m thinking about moving some videos over, perhaps the first few episodes of TV that people have recommended to me but I haven’t had the time to watch.  It is a small screen, but the image quality is very high so maybe it’ll even out.  Then again, I watched video on the GameBoy Micro screen (thank you Play-Yan adapter) so my tolerances are probably pretty high.

There’s a voice recorder.  So yeah, I guess that means I’m carrying two of them around since I have one on my phone.  Which I have used in the past.

Oh, and it plays music.

The Debut

My first twitter post isn’t all that exciting.  It’s not a, “Hey, I’m trying out this twitter thing” or a “Hello world” post.  It’s simply a blurb that exists and has some meaning in that moment.   Something that I expressed in well under 160 characters but in retrospect could have used more of them to place it in context.

Simply:

The Box Project

I have a box full of 20 year old journals and I think I have a project for them.  It’s going to be painful, but if I stick to it, it may be humorous and educational at the same time.

Three Strikes

Dear Microsoft,

Probably not going to buy any games for the 360 since this is the third time it has died since I have owned it.  Since repairing it is half the cost of a new console, I’m not going to repair it and in fact, I have boxed up the console and all of the games, since I can’t play them anyway.

In the meantime, I’ll just reallocate all future money that I was going to use for the 360 into PS3 and Wii titles.

Thanks!
