An Open Letter to the Birds!

Dear Birds,

My window ledge is not a good place for you to perch and hang out. Nor is it an ideal location for a nest. Yes, I realize that having the air conditioner in the window provides quite a bit of room for you to hang out on the sill, but you really shouldn't. One of these days, I will catch you and bake you into a pie because your infernal flapping and chirping in the wee hours of the morning is immensely annoying!

No Love,
For-Chan

Bittergent

Huffing aerosols can be pretty deadly. One hit kills you. I read some very sad articles about it. Some cans of air, like Walmart's "Clean Safe" put this thing called "Bittergent Technology" to "help deter misuse through intentional inhalation of concentrated vapors." Well, my can is getting down to the bottom of the can and I was just using it to spray some dust off of a computer I'm taking apart. It's obviously not Catty. Old Sal is gonna get up upgrade and head down to New Jersey. Anyway, getting near the bottom of the can and I use a few sprays and suddenly my throat starts burning and I gagged a few times wondering what the hell is going on. I think that lovely "Bittergent" got me. I didn't even have my face close to the computer, since I was blowing dust, I didn't want to breath that in. But somehow, my throat is all burny now and I'm kind of mad. Why would it come out during regular usage and overwhelm someone like that? It makes me want to not use it at all. Remind me not to buy Walmart's air again x_x

Paco, where are you? I want to ask you about the stuff I'm pulling out of this sucker >_> The computer runs, if slow and the video card sucks ass, but it runs even if the grinding sound is awful. I'm wondering what I should do with it. I intend to put a new version of windows on it (ah Bittorrent, you are so lovely). I just pulled out the AMD k6 3D Processor, just to see if I could after reading an article on how to build your own computer ^_^;; This puppy's got a whopping 64 mb of ram and a ginourmous 4 Gig HD. Wowee! So yeah, it definitely needs some sprucing up, like a new video card, a sound card (it doesn't have one), and some other stuff that would make it able to run some educational games for little kiddies. Anyone else with ideas, feel free to chime in. I'm a total n00b at this stuff!
