Reality Check

Josh P. posted an article on - Apr 5, 2011, 12:30 am
All my friends, from the closest to the acquaintance, have left me to live out their lives. The one's I have left I rarely see because of my work schedule. At home, at play, outside of work and at work I'm nothing but bored and lonely. It seems there is nothing for me here.   I don't have a car...

My new hardware

Josh P. posted an article on - Dec 3, 2010, 1:31 pm
I recently purchased three new hard drives for my computer. One was a Crucial C300 RealSSD at 128GB, the other two were Western Digital Caviar Black's at 640GB each (Western Digital no longer makes their Black drive in 640GB, so get 'em while they're cheap!). Before the drives came, I ran some bench...

Four Loko: Does it live up to the hype?

Josh P. posted an article on - Nov 13, 2010, 8:25 am
Four Loko, a 23.5oz "energy drink" that boasts an alcohol content of 12% by volume (24 proof), has been in the news all over the country recently. I've heard it's been banned in a few states, I've read that it's sent a few people to the emergency room, and that it more or less causes a kind of hyste...
