Five Reasons Why I Already Hate My Iproduct
Originally posted at www.blenzseymour.com, Sat, 07/16/2011 – 23:47 ———————————– I avoided Apple for a long time. A very long time. While everyone was running around snapping up their expensive, locked-down hardware for extreme prices, I enjoyed more open items like Ubuntu operating systems and Android mobile devices. However, we didn’t have a touch device for home, more specifically, for my…

I knew that the people who really need to read this wouldn’t if I didn’t word it that way. The inspiration for this tutorial is based on one of those ‘situations’ that didn’t need to become a ‘situation’ at all. As I was sitting there…

Diaspora – Social Media that Actually Excites Me

The coolest thing to me is that you probably don’t even know what it is yet. Don’t worry – people like me will spread the news quick. In a few words, it’s a dumbed down version…
Cutting Out the Rust
rusty <–CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO AUDIO RECORDING OF THIS POST. RIGHT CLICK ‘SAVE LINK AS’ WORKS TOO. One of my fondest ever memories is that of my 1977 Honday Civic. This thing was dope. Four speeds, a super long stick shift, felt like you were going 200K on the highway when you were actually going 85, and had those…
When to Fight and When to Fold ’em
I’m not a fighter. If someone were to attack me I would just curl up in a ball and try to protect my vital organs. I tried Tae Kwon Do to remedy that back in high school but I still find it easier to curl up in a ball. I’m not lazy, but I just figure even dirtbags would feel…
