A Black Day for The Pirate Bay…They sell out

Red Leader — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:49:14 +0000

“This Monday the relatively unknown Global Gaming Factory (GGF) announced that it will acquire The Pirate Bay for $7.8 million. Provided that the shareholders agree and that GGF manages to raise the necessary funding to complete the sale, The Pirate Bay will be in new hands. Undoubtedly, this announcement resulted in a tidal wave of [...]

Money Saving Tip #1: Scrap Cable and Get Netlfix

Red Leader — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:22:18 +0000

The gift of Netflix keeps on giving. My mother spends roughly 60 bucks a month on cable for her weekly tryst with ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ and so she can watch a movie every so often. In my mind that doesn’t equate to me the 60 dollars, especially in such a penny pinching time. Solution: I’ve been wanting [...]

Last Guardian, finally something worth buying a PS3 for!

Red Leader — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 18:33:02 +0000

The PS3 has been around for sometime now and I think even owners are slightly disappointed with what they have available to them in terms of great games, but now I’m convinced. I’ll be joining the ranks of dissatisfied PS3 owners this year when the developers of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, release their [...]

An Existential Crisis: Cutting Out The Distractions

Red Leader — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:44:50 +0000

Post undergrad and out in the work place, I became overwhelmed with the things that I owned. I didn’t absolutely need most of my things and I had been convinced, some how, that I did. I wanted to see the world and I couldn’t. Within months, I sold all my things and moved to NYC [...]

RSS - An Intro and a Suggestion - Part 1

Red Leader — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:12:40 +0000

The problem RSS tries to solve. In the real world beyond my 13.3 inch portal, the New York Times arrives once a day. Sad face. And where a reader ignores anything more than the comics, the rest of the paper is waste. For the reader, yesterday’s news involves an active search on your part, finding an [...]

IST 500 Social Media where you at?

Red Leader — Tue, 26 May 2009 23:17:29 +0000

So I would like to give a shout out to my fellow IST 500 participants. It should concern the world a great deal that students from around the United States are now getting a formal education in Facebook, Twitter and the like. Rather than create a blog, I’ve been trying for sometime to keep this [...]

EDIT: Indie Vids defining my life! Part 1

Red Leader — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 20:25:41 +0000

This was an accidental post. Marsedit now sees Tumblr blogs and apparently it needs some help distinguishing from one site to another. I try to keep my goofy fun posts to my Tumblr Redleader.Heavytext, but sometimes…just sometimes..there’s an outlier that wonders this a way. Despite that little problem, I thought I’d make this post [...]

Songbird: An Apology….Thanks for the Mac Extensions and more

Red Leader — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:46:24 +0000

An open apology goes to the Songbird Community for looking out for me. You haven’t wronged me. I was foolish to toss aside such a project that so early in its development actually carries a lot of the needs that say…Itunes would do for software user. - Valuable Extensions - Apple Keyboard Media Key Support - I [...]

Weatherdock - It’s Free and Far Less Annoying than Weatherbug

Red Leader — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 00:15:52 +0000

I want to share a memory with you. Since the first semester of my first year, this is what my life has looked like. (For the sake of context I just ran up 5 flights of stairs. I’m not built for that sort of athletics. I am out of breath) Let’s look back shall we? Today, [...]

Oh, Yes We Did

Songbird is perfect minus one thing…

Red Leader — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 01:29:41 +0000

Now I won’t go into a full review, because I’m honestly impressed, but I’ll give you a brief assessment. Until I can push F9 on my Macbook to skip forward a track and press F8 to Pause/Play another, Songbird is dead to me. It’s an amazing app that let’s me integrate all my online music [...]

I Love Jet Blue: Reason #34

Red Leader — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:36:57 +0000

I love Jetblue. Despite the fact that they try too hard to sell you stuff through offers and ads, and I really hate that kinda thing. Otherwise it’s quite an enjoyable experience every time we fly together. Today(Ok, actually a while back…late post) while delayed on the runway due to a broken toilet, they dolled [...]

MPRE: What a Joke!

Red Leader — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 05:52:23 +0000

You don’t need to take professional responsability to take the MPRE. If you’re wise you can learn the rules of conduct, take the exam fairly cold and get perfectly good score. Depending on the state you look to practice in. I believe an 87 will let you practice anywhere. To be perfectly honest, the November [...]

How to Brief: An OmniOutliner Template

Red Leader — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 16:08:48 +0000

This is perhaps one of the most annoying skills you’ll have to develop once in law school. You will likely start with several page long briefs and find your way by 2nd semester briefing in your books. Learning what is valuable is a skill. Early on I created a template for Omnioutliner, the [...]

How I hacked my Iphone 2G

Oh, I’m going to make it easier for you then it ever was for me. See, the problem with all these nerdy hacky things on the net is that you have to scour for hours across the net trolling through blog posts for the answers you need and they never are exactly where you need [...]

Top 10 Must See Comedies of My Time

Red Leader — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:39:10 +0000

Genesis I worked at a movie rental place once. Sadly, beyond the paycheck, the films and the friends little good came out of it for me. With my youth wasted watching entirely too many films and the availability of hundreds more my top ten list was slowly generated. Years have past. Through normal bar room banter this [...]
