PC Recycling

Yeah, I'm not talking about being politically correct, but through my many years of playing around with computers, I have ended up with a whole bunch of old parts. Our province has implemented a recyling program with one local company having a drive-thru to drop off your junk. So there's no reason to keep it down in the basement collecting an inch of dust or even worse just throwing it away. Hopefully, I'll get around to it this long weekend, happy easter everyone.

5/21 Update: It's more of a drop-off than drive-thru... Just three guys sitting around by 4 industrial-sized garbage bins that unloaded the 4 PC towers, 2 monitors, 1 scanner, and a box of parts from my car. The site's online map is kind of confusing, but there are signs posted once you get into the Currie Barracks.

Screensavers

I was looking for a totally psychedelic screensaver that I use to have on my workstation, but instead I came across a site that had it bundled along with a whole stack of cool ones.


Then go ahead and install this app that'll let you choose a bunch of these to run.

Update: Found another old-school one here.

April Fool's

Heh... today mark's the second anniversary of when I've started blogging. Haven't seen that many pranks being pulled with it falling on a Saturday. Thinkgeek.com had some amazing new products on sale like Wireless Extension Cords and for the old-school gamers a Grow Your Own 1up Mushroom Kit. The local paper had a good article on the mayor buying industrial-sized Lego blocks to make affordable housing units. Tomshardware.com announced that the next generation of wireless won't require antennas.


And finally Google, of course, gets in the action by putting a whole new spin on their "I'm Feeling Lucky" button by launching the Google Romance online dating website.
