If you start using MSN Spaces, this is pretty handy. It adds a button/link to IE that uses information from your current web page and starts a new blog entry in your MSN Spaces blog. Scott’s Place: Blog It! Toolbar Button.

This sounds way cool. NetFlix has a service that lets you share movie recommendations with friends. Found out about it from Engadget – cool site if you want to keep up on the latest and greatest, though you have to keep a firm grasp on your wallet.

Well, we’ve broken down and ordered a new computer from Alienware. Here’s the specs:

Chassis: Alienware® Full-Tower Case (480-Watt PS) – Saucer Silver

Memory: 1GB Alienware® Dual Channel High-Performance Low-Latency DDR SDRAM at 400MHz – 2 x 512MB
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA® GeForce™ 6800 GT 256MB DDR3 w/Digital and S-Video Out
System Drive: High Performance with Data Security – Serial ATA RAID 1 – 160GB (160 x 2) Seagate® Barracuda 7,200 RPM w/16MB Cache
Optical Drive One: NEC® ND-3500 16x Dual Layer DVD±R/W Recorder

I was torn between the alienware memory and the high performance memory (I think they use Corsair). The high performance has a CAS of 2, the alienware memory had some weird rating like CAS 2-3-5-2. And then I’ve read some reviews saying most of the time you’ll never know the difference.

Anyway, no to finish my paper before the machine shows up (it’ll be awhile).

So this is my first entry. We’ll see if this works out any better than Wallop. Evidently I’m one of the few that uses RSS readers :).
