My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

$800 in Change... Literally I collect change, sort it and roll it. I've been doing it for years. In spirit of commodity management and inventory reduction (I'm moving soon), I decided to convert the rolls of coins into weightless electronic money (i.e. just put moulah in the bank). I can't believe that out of $800 in rolled coins, I only had one roll that was an error (there was a dime in a nickel roll). I also had a hefty mix of Canadian coins... maybe 5%, and the bank didn't even notice, since they weighed each individual roll instead of resorting. I was happy. So the question now is: what do I do with the money? I want to make a frivolous purchase. I haven't decided what to buy. I'm thinking that perhaps I'll just buy a Pentium 4 3.4GHz Extreme Edition CPU. It's a killer processor. It is the top of the line CPU. I currently have a P4 3.2, which sports 512K of L3 cache. The P4 3.4 EE sports 2MB of L3 cache. Not sure I'll notice any difference. Price difference is $1000 for the P4 3.4 EE and $300 for the P4 3.2. I guess I could sell my P4 3.2 on ebay. Or perhaps I buy a new digital camera or maybe a digital camcorder. Or maybe I buy new Klipcsh speakers. I have no idea. Fun. posted by Dino at 12:44 PM (permanent link)

I think you should NOT get the new processor. I don't think you'll realize much out of it.
I'd consider a new digital camera, maybe something that is a bit smaller, sleeker. Klipsch speakers, I presume, would be for your theater?
Klipsch home theater speakers. However, I'm not in theater mode right now. I'm more into outdoor mode. Maybe I'll get that new Sony 5 megapixel camera thats the size of my Blackberry. I don't know... I kinda wanted a bigger camera where I can use different lenses. Then again, I'm happy with mine. What I need is a dye-sub printer... or maybe a Soundblaster sound card (I'm using on-board)... or maybe a USB drive/mp3 player... yeah!
