If you go to Beliefnet.com, there is this amazing test you can take called the “Belief-O-Matic”. Basically, you answer alot of religion-based questions based on your personal beliefs, and based upon those answers, Beliefnet gives you a list of 27 religions in order of compatibility. As you may know (or not, you know I don’t exactly advertise my personal agenda), I recently had quite the fallout with my religion that I was raised in, Episcopaleonism, more christianity in general. I for quite some time could not think of something proper to call myself, because I believed that the term “athiest” had sort of an “I-am-a-rebel-and-I’m-freaking-hardcore-and-I’m-absolutely-gonna-rub-it-in-your-face” kinda tone to it. Then I came across this quiz.

My results? 100% Secular Humanist, 93% Unitarian Universalist, 76% Liberal Quaker, 70% Theravada Bhuddist, The list went on.

But then I got to # 14…

14. Scientology (33%)

What the fruck is that? That’s just plain INSULTING. Scientology is not a real religion! IT’S A FRUCKING CULT! CAN I NOT STRESS THIS MORE?

Other than that, the quiz was muy helpful, and I am proud to almost maybe call myself a secular humanist, maybe Unitarian Universalist, depending on which looks more “me” once I look into them.

So, you were thinking about purchasing Mean Girls on iTunes just so you can put it on your iPod, in spite of the fact that you already own a hard-copy of it.

STOP RIGHT THERE.

There is a way to convert DVDs with everything from a “Heroes” boxed set to The 300. And the best part? The programs you use are FREE. You just need to know where to look. I swear. Crossing fingers doesn’t count.

You need 3 small, fast-downloading programs:

Videora iPod Converter

DVDShrink

Vobmerge

So get those and then go here for step to step instructions. I swear they work like wonders. These programs are like my own personal little money-saving army. I already put The Lizzie McGuire Movie on TS Touchy (thats the name of my iPod Touch), and lemme tell ya, it looks FAHbulous.

You’d better do this or imma kill you.

OK no. That was stalkerish of me.

Us preteens aren’t that lazy/ stupid after all. In fact, the ingenious software developer who released “iJailbreak”, the program designed to hack into an iPod’s operating system and add programs like downloader was none other than a 13-year old kid. TAKE THAT, SUCKERS!

What I don’t understand is why this kiddo and his team of nerdy programmers strive so hard to have a new edition of jailbreak for every new OS and gadget Apple releases. I mean really, once they put it on the internet, Mac knows what they did to get into the system, and they release yet another, updated OS that prevents them from doing that. Basically, all their work goes to waste, and they have to start with a clean slate about a month later.

As an iPod Touch owner, I was psyched when our nations nerds came up with a way to personalize the home screen with buttons and backgrounds of your choice, and with options ranging from golden LOTR-themed icons to pink and blue Hello Kitty ones, with more developers making apps and themes each day, every iPod fan was bound to find one for them. Then, Apple released operating system 1.1.3, and that changed everything. Thank god I wasn’t nerdy enough to have figured out how to jailbreak my iPod in 1.1.2, because I have heard that people who had jailbreaked their 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 iPods had many problems with their iTouch crashing once they updated to 1.1.3. Sadly, the only way you can currently jailbreak a 1.1.3 is if you downgrade to 1.1.1or 1.1.2, and seeing how long it took for the dang 1.1.3 OS to download and install, I don’t think it’d be worth the effort.

Besides, we all know a 1.1.4 is around the corner, so why don’t we just wait this one out?

One of NASA’s 2 robot rovers on mars beamed back an image this week that has everyone talking. The image shows a figure that some believe looks like the mythical creature Bigfoot. I think it looks like your classic rock formation.  Everyone’s wondering: Is this proof of life on mars?

And I’m answering. HEck no. Think about it. These rovers have been roving around taking thousands of photos a day since 2004. You’d think that if there is life on mars, one of these high-tech robots woulda caught a picture of it already.

OK, I know. You’re dying to know what it looks like, right?

Hate to break it to ya folks. I’m almost sure that’s not a life form.

This completely KILLED any remaining hope I had for MacBook Air.

If you can, skip to timestamp 4:30.

That’s right: IT HAS NO FREAKIN’ CD DRIVE! LIKE AT ALL! And Apple’s excuse? “Your world gone completely wireless!”

completely wireless my ass.

they say that in lieu of using DVDs, you can rent and purchase movies from iTunes. Yeah, right. Just another money-making ploy put into place. Also, the process in which you use another mac or pc’s CD drive (remote disc) is so over-rated. Nobody in their right mind wants to go through all that to use their programs.

I hate you Steve Jobs.

The number 1 search on Google today was, you guessed it, “MacBook Air”.

I’m not surprised, I myself missed the unveiling of this new innovation from Apple, and found myself, like every other American who knows what’s good for them, swarming to the Mac site today to get a taste of the “world’s thinnest notebook”. And I have to say, I am not very pleased with it.

Personally, I think there should be limits on how small/thin something can be. Sure, it’s cool for like the first day of owning it that it’s so freakin’ thin, but one drop and your pretty much screwed. Well, at least that’s what it looks like. Nobody wants a gadget that looks like it would shatter into a billion pieces at the touch of a finger. The Air is almost too thin for my liking. That might just be me.

It’s also extremely overpriced, but hey, it’s Mac, what do ya expect?

No, really Steve Jobs. It’s OK. You don’t have to top this one.
