An update has been a long time coming. I've been somewhat off the radar since last semester. I wanted to fully enjoy my break so I made an effort to spend little time on the computer and more time hanging out with friends and of course, gaming! This semester I'm taking 16 semester hours with two online classes, and so far it hasn't been bad... but who knows?

Anyway, over the holiday I acquired a few new gadgets that I plan on reviewing. I am also working on some articles for The Start Screen. I am really excited to give my opinion on Apple's new Magic Mouse, which I was initially not really interested in. As well as, Lady Gaga Heartbeats headphones by Dr. Dre, and the new iPod Nano. Oh, and I also got a new car because the ol' Jetta was starting to take a crap. I'll probably write up a little blog about the Kia Forte.

The completely unrelated picture at the top of this blog is from my "intro to computers" class. It is a requirement for my core curriculum and it is painful. No, really... it is. I am glad this class is helping people who are less familiar with computers, but come on! A requirement? There should be some way around this. It's almost as bad as keyboarding, which is a requirement for some associates degree majors. SRSLY? I HERD TEH INTERWEBZ ID HARD.
