The Future is Now and I'm Wondering When It'll Pass

I don't have a whole lot to say, but I will say this. I have taken two steps further into the future. I upgraded my Mac from 512 MB of memory to 1 GB, and it is running incredibly well. I'm really excited about this upgrade. I can't wait to mess with ProTools now. Step two. I traded my mother some computer gear for a car stereo today. I'm giving her my DVD burner (which I no longer need thanks to the SuperDrive in my MacBook), and she gave (read: bought) me a new stereo for my car that has an auxilary port. This basically allows the lights in my dash to work again, because they wouldn't work when wired with my current stereo. Basically, that means that I haven't been able to see my speedometer after sundown for about a year. Now, I'll be able to drive the speed limit at night. Also, I'll be able to plug my iPod directly into my stereo thanks to the 1/8" aux jack on the front of my stereo. It's pretty sweet.

I'll be honest. I love technology. Yes, technology has some bad sides to it (i.e., not working at inopportune moments, costing lots of money, nuclear warfare, the machines taking over, etc.). However, for all the problems technology causes me, it's been pretty handy as well. So, I'm thankful for my well-made Apple laptop, my iPod, and my new stereo, and I think that's okay.

Hey man, Ive been listening to Band of Horses too. Pretty good. What is that website you are always talking about that has the great music reviews? e-mail it to me, if you would--as I will probably never check this thread again.

on selfish note, it's high time you add me to your links, skank.
