As long as we're not out of coffee.

Yeah, we need coffee... too bad I ran out of Keurig cups yesterday >_<
DNS failure for sure. Back up for me though, with some problems... not much though.

Hey everyone... for people that use Facebook, they're experiencing a Denial of Service Attack right now (probably 4chan). You will not be able to log on or interact with the website at all. How sad!

Curious.... what type of phone are you looking for? Smart phone? Flip phone? Having web service is really a waste unless you get a phone that can handle it properly.

Frankly I'll get any phone... looking really at either a smart phone (e.g. Samsung Intercept) or just a feature-packed flip or touch screen phone.

Virgin Mobile is owned by Sprint and uses their network. So coverage is dependent on how good Sprint's network is in your area. Honestly if there is no price difference I would just go with Sprint. They tend to have a better lineup of phones but if it works for you go with it

I would go with Sprint... however, my parents no longer want a contract service.
However, I do like the Intercept, which is coming out for VM eventually, and it's the same phone I was gonna get on Sprint. Plus, I get a better value on the plan with VM.

I do not have Virgin Mobile. But I heard the service is amazing, but a bit pricey. I do think it's worth it, though.

I like the phones, though...I was considering getting one before but I was a bit of a budget. So I went to BOOST Mobile instead.

Well, they're the best value I found so far. $25/month for unlimited text + web + MMS, and 300 minutes...
What's your plan like on BOOST?

I'm thinking about switching my cell phone service from Tracfone to Virgin Mobile once the Intercept is released on VM. Anyone have Virgin Mobile? How's the service, customer support, etc?

I was driving home this evening and some  pulled in front of me and I had to run into the curb. Lost a hubcap! I ended up taking a walk tonight found it 

People are stupid.  I don't trust anyone on the road but myself.  You've got people like the one Martin dealt with, who think it's cool to pull out in front of you.  You got people who don't go the speed limit (which REALLY gets me), people who don't stop at a stopsign.  People who don't go on a green light.  NOT USING A SIGNAL!!! (I hate this), people who stop when turning right on a green light, people who don't yield (they stop at the line) when turning left on green.  Need I go on..

To those who don't drive yet; when you do drive, PLEASE be smart about it.

Good speech! When I actually do get to driving age in 2 years, safety will be my first priority... following the rules of the road. I saw some dumb yesterday running as many stop signs as possible, almost broadsiding us, and plus, she was going 60 through those stop signs. This was in a neighborhood with a 25 mph speed limit.

Some people can't drive.

I love my classes this year!!  And my English teacher is not like past ones ive had

Lucky. My classes are OK, but my World Cultures teacher is old and senile and looks like he wants to kill me. I feel uncomfortable in his class. But I can't complain about my other classes. My German teacher is AWESOME.

I always wanted to take German but I didn't want to switch after starting Latin. 5 years of that was enough foreign language for me!

Deutsch ist cool! Und hallo, Herr Cornick. Wie bist du?

Deutsch ist sehr geil! Ich habe es für 3 Jahre gelernt.
Ok, back to English. Lol. Does anyone else speak German?

I don't speak German, pero hablo español.

Well, then. xD

Awesome emulator! Love the song you chose. The only thing wrong is that the abbreviation for the day should have been Tue, not Tues. Otherwise, great work!    

P.S. Is OWS Okean Weather Service?

Thanks! And I will correct that later.

P.S. Yes, that's correct

Food for Faded Fest (music festival that I ran a shop at). Included 1 quart chocolate milk, 2 packs of Zingers, some Hostess cupcakes, 6 packs of gum, some Monster (for my friend Nik), et cetera. It rocked!

I personally thing an iPad would be perfect for school. It's really got everything you need. Plus, lots of schools and colleges are using them now.

Our middle school (which I no longer attend. boo.) purchased a cart of iPads over the summer. I'm trying to convince my English teacher from last year (who is my friend) to ask for that cart.

Dude. Nice. I wish that my school would get iPads. But NOOOO... we spend money on iTouches for a music lab, new Macs (only for one room in the building), and crappy HP laptops.
