Hey guys!
I’m going to stop doing LIVE,,,because I don’t have a webcam. BUT I will be replacing it with something new.. that doesn’t require a webcam.
And I already know what I’m replacing it with.. but you don’t! >=)

Ok soo here’s the news with the site..
Last wednesday at around 11:00am, my site was offline for about, umm, 30 minutes. I was updating my blogging software from WP 2.7 to WP 2.8. Reeaally sweet update. The admin interface (only I get to see that 
is really flowing and easy-to-use. Love it. And the admin site is a whole lot quicker.
Umm there’s a cool little widget on the sidebar that displays random photos from my Google Web Albums photo account thingy. Soooo that’s cool.
And ummm for those of you wondering.. I’m considering bringing back the pages I took offline.. not sure yet though.

Ok soo some of these you’ve most likely seen and some of them you might not have.. and you may not agree with my choices but here are my 5 favorite movies..
1. Passion of Christ
wow.. definetly hands-down number one. Yes,, it is rated R, but there is no way that the Passion of Christ can’t make it to #1 on my list. This is the only movie that I think fully tells you what God/Jesus went through to save us. Incredible.

2. Saving Private Ryan
An incredible movie with an incredible cast following the events of D-Day during WWII. Must see.

3. United 93
“September 11, 2001. Four planes were hijacked. Three of them reached their target. This is the story of the fourth.” Amazing movie that tells the tragic events of the 9/11 terrorist attacks from the 4th plane, which was hijacked and being used as a missile against the White House. Definetly shows the American Spirit as average men and woman willingly sacrifice their lives for their country. A sad but powerful film. MUST SEE.

4. Cinderella Man
An incredible movie about a family struggling to survive during the Great Depression. Cannot miss this.

5. Armageddon
An metier the size of Texas is about to destroy mankind, and the only people who can stop it is a team of drunk oil drillers. Their mission: go into outerspace, drill a hole in the metier, drop a nuke in it, and get out and back to earth before the astroid is split into to parts (which will miss earth) by the bomb. A perfect mix of comedy and adventure. Great family movie if you know what scenes to skip and if you’re ok with mild language.

The store is open. I haven’t officially said anything about it on my blog but some friends knew. On it I’m just selling some cool merchandise like a mug with “If I had to choose between you and free Starbucks for a year, I’d totally do Starbucks” printed on it.

So I’ve been working on this for a while.. it’s a Twitter-like web app. Sign up is free and it’s easy to use.
-> www.dylan-taylor.com/SpeakIt/
Incase you’re wondering what Twitter is.. it’s a microblogging service. Incase you’re wondering what a Microblog is.. it’s where you post short 140 letter updates. You can follow other people and subscribe to their updates.
So this is my version of Twitter. Hopefully you like it. I’m still cleaning up the yucky design some.. so no complaints on that yet.
It’s based on the Laconi.ca core – which powers Twitter’s rival, Identi.ca.
Updates..
Yes. My site is back to norm now. As you’ve probably noticed, it’s got some cool new features like the nifty little rating stars and the share button at the end of each article, and the ‘advertise on this blog’ link on the sidebar. You’ve probably also noticed that I’ve removed like 5 pages from public access. I decided I don’t want those up currently but they’re still privately available..
Enjoy
Yeah. If you actually watch me and my friends streaming on LIVE, you’ll probably have noticed my absence over the last month. Why?
I find a webcam. NICE! Free Webcam! I use it on my Mom’s laptop for the first 3 weeks of LIVE. Now we all know how prone Microsoft computers are to ruining the world. That’s just what happened. I got the oh-so hair-ripping “Blue Screen Of Death.” Oh and along with the computer goes some important docs. What a wonderful departure gift (or lack of?).
ANYWAYS. Nice. Now I still have this cool Webcam. Soooo I hook it up to my Windows Vista box. And now Windows Vista lives up to the Microsoft expectations of COMPATIBILITY ISSUES. Yeah. So the webcam actually DOES work, I just don’t have a “compatible” computer.
What the crap?
Now of course I could go with Mircosoft’s rival (apple) and get the webcam already intalled, but they’re asking for like $2000.
Wow. Computers are sooo complicated.
So I’ll be on live as soon as I either buy a $2000 macbook or a “compatible” webcam.
Math and allll that blaahhhh stuff is finally over!
I am soo happy. yippy.
Yeah sorry. I’m not as enthusiastic asI guess I should be. I slept like retardeness last night. Meaning NO sleep. I stayed up talking with some friends till like 1 in the morning. Then I just couldn’t get to sleep. Period. Like alllll night. I think it was all the soda I had @ the 7up.
Hmm. Anyways. Oh wait yeah umm summer is over. YAY!
I’m going to take a nap.

Ok so here’s da news.
My site was HACKED by some lowlife who injected some virus thing-a-ma-bob. SOOOOO. If you’ve visited my site in the last month, you’re going to want to scan your computer.
No worries! My blog is now CLEAN. I keep monthly archives of my blog so I was able to find an archive of it before the hack. Now it’s 100% VIRUS CLEAN! Also: if you were infected with the virus, it’s a pretty pathetic peice of software. It really doesn’t do anything bad,,, so you should be fine. Scan and remove it just to be safe.
Umm that’s about it. I’ve migrated to a new host and I’m adding more security stuffs. It’ll be about a week before the blog is completely back to normal. Other than that ENJOY.

Hello! so here are some vids I made after I assembled a crude version of my tablet PC.
http://www.viddler.com/explore/DylanT/videos/18/
http://www.viddler.com/explore/DylanT/videos/20/
It includes a motherboard and WiFi car/antenna from a Compaq V2000 laptop, 1GIG ram from a friends PC, and a somewhat-old harddrive and flat monitor from an older Compaq laptop. In the first vid it’s loaded with gOS Gadgets 3.1 and in the second clip it’s loaded with Ubuntu.
I’ll keep posting about this prjct I guess..
