The iPhone 4, monetarily speaking

By Justin | June 15, 2010

The iPhone 4 is undeniably sexy, and I’m quite sure that I want one. But is it worth retiring my reliable, three-year old original iPhone in order to upgrade? On its face, all the features of iPhone 4 put my aging but unfailingly trusty iPhone to shame. A beautiful new design, the smokin’ A4 processor, [...]

Not-quite-mental note on dining points

By Justin | November 15, 2008

I have $356.87 left in dining points. I’ll be on campus for, at most, 28 days before the semester ends. That leaves me with $12.75 to spend daily, with a cushion of Middletown Cash, should I end up needing it. I think I can handle that. Anyway, don’t mind me. It’s a mostly-productive Friday night [...]

Burned by The Man

By Justin | November 9, 2008

 I arrived back from class on Wednesday afternoon to find a sickly yellow piece of paper on my unmade bed. It was a lovely notice from Campus Fire Safety, which had conducted an inspection of my house while I was in class. The pus-colored sheet informed me that Fire Safety inspectors had found something illegal [...]

Notes to stave off much-needed sleep

By Justin | October 31, 2008

Every Thursday I put the trash and the recycling out to the curb, and every Friday I take it in. Some Fridays, though, I go out the door to find the recycling bin all the way up the stairs, and the trash barrel put back near the bottom of the steps, away from the curb. [...]

Four times the storage capacity!

By Justin | October 27, 2008

I have been running low on storage space for a while now. I was considering moving all my episodes of Greek and Californication off of my external hard drive and onto DVDs, saving lots of space. But that would involve bringing my drive into work, buying DVDs, and burning them. Then I considered micromanaging my media: deleting [...]

Crunchin’ the numbers

By Justin | August 17, 2008

Summer is usually my time to make up for all the money I spent over the course of the school year, and to make money to pay my part of the tuition for the coming year. Well, it didn’t really work out that way this summer. I crunched some numbers and discovered that I made [...]

John McCain, and other tidbits

By Justin | June 11, 2008

I need to wake up in 4.5 hours for work. I’ve been trying to take the T to work, but the garage at Braintree is always full and I have nowhere to park my car, so I just get on the highway and deal with traffic and construction and gas prices and greenhouse gas emissions. [...]

Some post-Spring Break notes

By Justin | March 22, 2008

Looking at the long-outdated websites of old bands that I love makes me sad. Take, for example, the website of Something Corporate. The artwork reflective of their 2003 release North, the headline story about a 2002 show at Tower Records. The pre-Web 2.0 cluttered design (actually a bit refreshing), the falling leaves in the Flash [...]
