okay, so i’ve been “ecub2k”:aim:goim?screenname=ecub2k for a while now. probably around 4 years or so. i need a new screenname. and sometimes i feel screennames can’t be made up by the person themselves; kind of like nick-names. so, i need all your help, i need to come up with a new screenname for things like AIM, etc and i’m having a creativity block. it seems like everyone else have really cool names.

Take the quiz: “Which ‘Queer Eye’ Guy Are You?”
Ted
You are Ted! You’re a wizard with a whisk, a master with a meat cleaver and a king in the kitchen. And you rule it well. Also an expert on utensils and cookware, you know exactly the right dish for every occasion. You’re so useful, everyone wants you around the house!
– at least I won’t have to change my name! –

* pork

* spices
* dextrose
* lactic acid starter culture
* oleoresin of paprika
* flavorings
* sodium ascorbate

 Toshiba Satellite A45-S150 laptop specs: 2.4GHz Pentium4-mobile processor |
 Apple PowerMac G4 specs: dual 450MHz G4 processors |
 Apple Studio Display 17inches of flat screen goodness. This came out before the current LCD displays, but cost just about as much. Currently running at a resolution of 1280×1024@75Hz. |
 Apple iMac DV This one’s actually my mother’s computer, but I have to maintain it. Its specs are: 400MHz G3 processor, 64MB RAM, and I think a 30GB harddrive. |
 Dell Axim X5 Advance This is one of the most advanced PDAs that I own. Beautiful color screen, sound, and a 400MHz Intel Scale processor. 64MB RAM, and 48MB ROM. |
 Motorola V551 With the merger/acquisition of AT&T Wireless by Cingular Wireless, I decided it was a good time to upgrade my cell phone. I love Cingular, so it was no big deal, but this time I decided that I had to have a camera phone. So, this is it. VGA quality camera. Still and video recording capabilities. Polyphonic and MP3 ringtones. It’s a pretty sweet phone if I do say so myself. Check out the moblog here. |
 Sony CyberShot DSC-P71 At 3.2 megapixels, this camera has saved me on a few occasions when I needed an image for a project at the last minute. It currenlty has a 64MB memory stick for storing picture. |
 Panasonic PV-DV103 digital video camera This camera was bought for one of my classes at college. That was one of the most expensive classes I took, not only did I purchase this video camera, I also had to get a 120GB firewire harddrive. The good thing about this camera is that it can connect with a computer via firewire for video editing. |

lately i’ve been addicted to watching “Colonial House”:http://www.pbs.org/wnet/colonialhouse/ on PBS. it’s much more entertaining and educational to watch a bunch of 21^st^ century people try to live as if they were in the 17^th^ century. making and then rejecting the rules that are befitting of the time. than to watch a bunch of people who were hand-picked based on their conflicting personalities for the cat-fight factor being stranded on an island, or shoved in one house together and then have the cameras pointed on them to incite riots.
