Lego Computer

While chatting with a friend today, said friend sent me a link to this computer case. That is totally awesome! If legos were human, they'd be the man. The flexibility of legos is incredible. With a little help from a lego catalogue, a stylin' themed lego case would be very, very feasable. Plus, think of all the cool little legos they have nowadays. Neon orange or green windows! Woo! That's not even scratching the surface with Lego Technics. Imagine, nifty mechanical bits on the insides, perty Lego blocks on the outside.

Squeaky clean

Just finished upgrading my system today. It is working hella fast, I love my new Samsung SP1614N. Installed Diablo today... finished the install before the start menu icons were ready. The new fan and power supply I aquired from bruce are working great. Noisy, but stable at 84 degrees. Farenheight. I also replaced the bezels in the front panel and the power supply fan seems to be pumping out a little more air. Hmm.. speaking of Diablo, apologies to bruce for not showing up on Monday. I was back from Minneapolis, but I didn't finish setting everything back up before I left for the weekend so I didn't have D2 until about two hours ago. We should try to hook up again. Also, there's a new patch out. No idea what the changes are all about yet, I must investigate this at a later date...

Hemionitis arifolia (heart fern)

So I was browsing the local Wal-Mart for an interesting plant to put in a new hanging pot... and I found a really neat looking fern. Unfortuneately, the only thing printed on the plastic pot was" "FERN 4" " So... fern. Pretty vague... by chance I caught some forum post about a "heart fern", and after some searching it is in fact Hemionitis arifolia. Unfortuneately, all I can find are pictures of the plant, I can't find a lick of information about proper care of the poor thing. I'm hoping it kicks back, but it's been losing a few leaves every day now. Though, I'm pretty sure the leaves that are shriveling were already pretty sickly looking... It does have one nice new leaf (frond?) growing, and none of the major leaves are giving up. I'm crossing my fingers, as it's really pretty.
