hello, my name is T and i am a geek.
Everyone: Hi, T
i can has a blackberry. it’s my calendar, a gaming device (Texas Holdem anyone?), i tweet on it, i check multiple email addresses… oh, and i can make phone calls with it too.
my gravatar is from a hilarious web video any true designer geek will love. I’ve got accounts on facebook, myspace, linkedin, twitter, stumbleupon, AIM, yahoo!, msn, gtalk, ICQ, skype and more email addresses than any sane person can check on a daily basis.
it’s becoming more and more difficult to put time into any of these – as all these things can be a total time-sucking waste of time. but they’re also a lot of fun – i’m able to keep in touch with friends i’ve not spoken to in a coon’s age.

I'd actually be happy to see the BSOD
A couple months ago, i lost both of my 19″ monitors – they were Hanns G monitors, i got them on the cheap, with a rebate and they worked well… until we lost power and one went, gone, didn’t work anymore. i still had the other one, so i went from a dual monitor to a single monitor. which was bad enough. THEN whilst i was away in November hunting, we lost power again… this time, the other monitor blew out, didn’t work, gone.
so now i’m using an old 15″ gateway LCD monitor because i got rid of all my old CRT monitors and i have no other options. i’ve been scouring the internets for new monitor deals, but every monitor is a widescreen. why? why can’t i get a nice 4:3 ratio monitor or two? i do not care for widescreen, never have. it’s impossible to get a non-widescreen laptop anymore as well. i’m in the market for some new hardware – but i’m not excited about anything i see. i don’t know how i ever did this in the past… one monitors suck and one small monitors sucks even more.
i have a new quest even though it’s more of a challenge. i started it January 1st, 2009. the quest is (as the title of this post states) 100 push-ups. it’s an idea i got from the CrossFit website – the 100 push-up challenge. that is on the first day, you do one push-up. on the second day, you do two push-ups… you do that for 100 days, each day adding one more push-up. i figured this would be a good reintroduction for me into the world of ‘lifting’ with my shoulder being still not at 100%. today, i did my 12 push-ups. and i’ve noticed me leaning more on my left arm the last couple days of my push-ups. with me being cognizant of it, i’m trying to stay balanced on both of my arms.
initially, i thought it would be cool to post this as 100! pushups… which, of course, would be wrong because i had to google 100!. and google’s fun calculator returned the value 9.33262154 × 10157, which is big much bigger than i had thought… and that’s when i realized 100! is not 1+2+3+4…+99+100… it’s 1x2x3x4…x99x100. alas, the kewlness of the post’s title dropped 100! fold (ha).
