Atown’s Place to Think

Whatever God’s dream about man may be, it seems certain it cannot come true unless man cooperates.

Well I’ve been thinking and the mini dell 9 was great while I was in school… But now that im working and other stuff…. I need something with a bit more kick. But also I wonder if I should be worring about this as I save money for a car fix up….

Needing firewire with decent capture ability, decent webdesign adaption, and whatnot…

What do you consider twitter spam and what do you consider a service? There are a lot of automated twitter accounts but I am going to perform an experiment.

Using the account @MarketingArmada I am going to provide a marketing service provider and test several “tools” from twitter. Without having a website, I really wonder how much people consider things as a service and actually benefit from it.

Thoughts?

Well im torn. I really want a quad monitor setup. and i could do it but i would have to change my setup to a water cooled and spend $200 on a single card with 4 dvi outputs (already have the water cooled system but its in another pc).

Or i could spend about $400 and get a quad core, 2 cards with 2 dvi each = quad monitor, 8gb setup, and basically double my entire pc specs…. cant really afford it right now though and if i did update later on i could use the $200 still….. so hard >_<

well in an effort to generate more traffic i have permalinked everything to a better pattern. hopefully it helps. me and my boss might put together a marketing website that we update every so often with some resources and strategies. dunno if we will yet or not but that could be alot of fun.

Well I migrated some stuff so this is my official blog now and not a sub-domain.

well its been a while since ive posted anything techy but i really have to applaud google today. I recently discovered what i call “google gadgets” which they call google desktop, but basically they saw what Microsoft did in vista and made it better, and made it for all OS types: http://desktop.google.com/?utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-synsearch&utm_medium=ha&utm_term=google%20sidebar

Its been a dream of mine to be a pro gamer, a christian one, to make an impact for Christ, and it seems like that wont happen but i can still read n stuff. If anyone is willing, please send me an e-mail at penguinatown@gmail.com and buy the dvd for me. i hate asking but im pretty poor. If done I will put out a full movie style review on it and represent it as fairly as possible. Hope we can make a difference in this world

Thinkgeek never fails to make me want to spend money on the spot just so i can have the cool thing their pushing for nerds which…. are really freaking cool lol.

The latest thing i found while browsing on their page was :

a $500 netbook (in size but not style) comes with linux and is pretty seksi. you can install xp and whatnot on it too if you want, which would work for me because i get free vista and xp disks through my school.  snazzy all aluminum case really looks sleek and it would save me carrying my laptop all the time and would be a heck of alot lighter. This item, even though i dont own it, gets my stamp of approval.

laf, dunno if many people remember the song “chrome” but thats not what my short post is about today. The world is currently in anticipation for the google browser known as Chrome, and while i was waiting it to be released at 2pm ET according to http://blogs.pcworld.com/staffblog/archives/007645.html . Check it out ya’ll!

ok so basically i am a PC gamer and pretty much only pc games when it comes down to it. Now i will play a mean game of brawl and amongst all my circles of friends, im usually the best in that category as well. I dont like mario cart, never have. And aside from ps1/2 classics, you wont see me purchase many games that are console related. Its really hard for me to shell out $20-$50 for a game that doesnt capture my attention or is beatable in 7 hours (i.e. gears of war).

However as of late i payed $10 for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for the PS2 (oddly $6 cheaper than Sons of liberty) and I have once again been able to experience all the good things a console gaming experience can give vs a pc game, MMORPG or FPS.

The accomplishments, the comfortability, being able to yell at the tv and not have some other dude call u a fag, sitting on a couch or comfortable chair, not having big headphones on your head, no fear of carpal tunnel syndrom, Sitting with food and not worrying about spilling it on your keyboard, mouse pad or mouse (in some cases a serious gamers razor mouse or other logitech product that costs $60+) and the list goes on.

The cool thing about console games though is there truly is a sense of accomplishment and no stress about dealing with other people constantly. Its just you and the AI.

So if your tired of shooting people that think your hacking or yell obscenities at you, take some time to find a good console game, and in the case of MGS3, take the time to kill all the hardly believable freaks of nature and save the planet from Armageddon.
