random stuffage…

Ok, instead of beating away at the 6 partially-written posts I have saved up, I thought I’d instead give a small update on how things have been with me. Compared to some of my other posts, this will be light reading with no real substance. So without further ado, here I go!

I’ve recently re-written my resume, so now it looks all spiffy, perhaps I’ll post it up here when I get the chance (I’m at work, and thus, have no ftp access).

This weekend saw the Otakon (actually, Otakorp, Inc) presidency fall in to new hands. It was a bitter race between myself and Jim Vowles, but when you consider my campaign slogan was effectively “vote for Jim, I’m just running so he has competition”, its easy to figure out who won. Heh, his pre-election speech amounted to “vote for Tom if you want someone pretty in office”… thanks Jim, you know how to make a boy feel special =P

I’ve never been a fan of the Brushed Metal theme in Mac OS X, so now with much joy, I’ve switched over my GUI thanks to UNO, which changes the OS theme to “Sunken Unified GUI”, similar to Mail and iTunes (though iTunes is called “Charred Unified”). And there was much rejoicing!

I’ve recently become addicted to Lost. Bye bye social life!

iTunes 6 and the new video-enabled iPods came out. I’ve heard a lot of people wanting the new iPod, but I’m more happy with the new iTunes. Downloading TV shows is really cool, as far as I’m concerned (btw: I downloaded the Lost pilot, which lead to my new addiction)

When I get uber-rich, which is any day now, I plan to buy a decommissioned A-10 Thunderbolt II (aka: “Warthog”) (yeah right, at least a boy can dream), but I must also state my love for the Sukhoi Su-47 (forward swept-wing is sexy, dammit!).

Lastly, I still plan to get a M1911-A1 at some point, but my current gun-obsession is the Mauser C96, mainly because I think the holster/stock option is so cool. ::drool::
