Matrix Reloaded Cell Phone
My brother is thinking about getting a new cell phone again and we were curious how much the neat little cell phone from The Matrix Reloaded could be bought for now that it's been out a while. Well, I checked ebay and there's one going for $1009.00 with a day left. Holy geez! Over a grand for a stinking cell phone!? Wow. That's just nuts.

Book recommendation
It seems a lot of Hiptop owners are into techie scifi stuff so I have a book recommendation for you all. I'm sure at least one person on here has read it: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. And if you like it you should check out all seven of the books in the series. They're also making a movie out of Ender's Game and the book Ender's Shadow. It's almost impossible that it'll be as good as the books because combining two books into one movie causes a lot of stuff to be cut out. Not to mention that the star is going to be Jake Lloyd, he's the bad actor that played Anakin Skywalker in Episode I. I just don't like that little kid for some reason.

Camera substitute
I don't have a camera so I thought I'd make a where every word links to a different site. Cool, eh?

I wonder if she took my advice...
I noticed in this post by lyzard that the sweet Jessica Corbin got a CSK. I'm sure she's going to review it in what The Screensavers calls "The Corbin Report."

Now what's weird is that after I saw her do a review of the Sanyo SCP-8100 I emailed her and suggested that she do a review of the CSK. I wonder if she listened to me. Hmmmm.....

Host your own site.
I'm going to help my brother host his own website this weekend. For anyone looking to do it check out this site for a really good step by step guide. And if you want to register a domain name idotz can give it to you for $8.75 a year. Not too bad, if you ask me. Oh, and check with your ISP to make sure they allow you do do this. Some cable/dsl companies will make you upgrade to a business account or T1 line if you're going to host your own site. Greedy punks.

Mandrake Linux part II
...excited. Everything went well and I even managed to not erase my Windows drive or any of the files. I also received my new video card so I now have TV out function. I've been using a monitor sitting next to my TV in the living room and the wife doesn't really like this. I thought I could put the monitor in the office and make the living room pretty again but I haven't gotten the TV out function working in Linux yet. Hmm, I better get on that one pretty quick.

PS - I hate the desktop interface. Everytime I use it for emailing it screws stuff up. Example: The email below this!

Mandrake Linux
Well, yesterday I got my hard drive in the mail so I was able to install it and put Linux on it. I've been waiting to do this for weeks so I was pretty
Foremank stumped me!
Sorry, Foremank, you got me. I'm not a real big Billy Joel fan so you stumped me with that one. Oh, but here's one for you: Who co-wrote and backed David Bowie on "Fame"? The answer is right here for anyone who is curious.

Foremank babe quote...
I don't know if you were trying to get some one to name that quote but I sadly know that was from one of the songs that David Bowie sings in the wonderful movie Labyrnth. Do I win a prize?
