Skullcandy Ink’d
Oct 12th
I just bought a pair of Skullcandy Ink’d earphones tonight to replace the cheap ones that came with my iPhone. I know these don’t have a mic, but I didn’t use that much anyway. These are great earphones and would recommend them to anyone. However, the only problem I had was trying to distinguish the left & right channels. I started to search the internet to find the answer & found people giving them bad reviews due to them not being able to distinguish the left or right channel. Then, after looking carefully at these under good lighting… I did find the L & R (left channel pictured below). It’s on the black cord at the very top where it meets the earbud itself. So, hopefully people find this article helpful.
Notre Dame
Oct 3rd
Andrea & I are about to leave for South Bend. We’ll be tailgating in several hours & I’m hoping the rain clears out. This is my first college game, but have been to a few pro games. Andrea is an ND nut, so I’m looking forward to this & I’m sure we’re going to have a blast! I’m sure I’ll be posting pictures via Posterous today from my iPhone, so make sure you check that stream.

Wallpapers from Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
Oct 2nd
Earlier, Lifehacker.com posted an article about downloading icons & wallpapers from Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. I downloaded the wallpapers and resized them all to 1440 x 900. You can download all of them here within this zip file.
Security Essentials
Sep 30th
Looking for a good antivirus solution? How about a free one? I’ve used AVG for the past several years, but when Microsoft released the beta of Security Essentials I removed AVG to give it a try. One thing that you’ll notice off the bat is that Security Essentials is fast and doesn’t use as much resources compared to AVG or even Avast. Yesterday, Security Essentials was released to the public and I would recommend this to anyone wanting to try a different antivirus solution.

Microsoft Security Essentials provides real-time protection for your home PC that guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. Microsoft Security Essentials is a free download from Microsoft that is simple to install, easy to use, and always kept up to date so you can be assured your PC is protected by the latest technology. It’s easy to tell if your PC is secure — when you’re green, you’re good. It’s that simple.
Supported Operating Systems:
- Windows XP 32-bit
- Windows Vista/7 32-bit
- Windows Vista/7 64-bit
You can download it from here to give it a try.
