I installed Linux Mint yesterday because my Ubuntu installtion was starting to get a little messed up from all the costant configuration, reconfiguration, and installation of new (and often not stable) packages. Nothing like a fresh start right?

Save Money on Milk

Austin Riba 5 Aug 2008 && [ ] && 0 comments

Lets start off this post by saying that I LOVE milk. And I especially love good, hearty, 2% milk. I cant stand drinking low fat milk, and I feel that non fat milk is a crime against nature. So I propose a solution lowfat milk drinkers and myself both will like. Next time, instead of buying a lesser form of milk, get the good stuff - the 2%. The sane people can drink the milk right out of the carton unspoiled. If someone were for some reason want low or non fat milk, simply add water. A cup or too a presto! You have 1% milk. Add another 3 or 4 and you have nonfat milk, at least thats what it tastes like anyways.

Google earth has taken an image from Nasa and put it into google earth format so you can view it inside the application. This image pretty much describes why the sky has been orange for the last month or so.

You get what you pay for: The Dollar Tree

Austin Riba 30 Jul 2008 && [ News ] && 1 comments

The Dollar Tree really sucks. The old saying “you get what you pay for” really applies even more so here than anywhere else. I’m not going to go into a huge rant here because Im sure everyone already knows that shopping at this store for anything other than coat hangers (and even those are crappy) is a waste of a dollar. At first you walk in the store and you think “Wow! How can they afford to sell all this great stuff for only a dollar?” But then you start to realize that the stuff that is on sale is not the same stuff that you buy in other stores but cheaper, its actually not the same stuff at all. In fact, the merchandise at the Dollar Tree is purposely deceiving -  it is made to look like popular brands that are sold in other stores. In fact the merchandise is almost exclusively made in Vietnam, and is of extremely poor quality.
