Change

Not the kind one carries around in his pocket. The kind that alters. You know. Change. 
I recently read through many of my older posts here on IPF² and found myself cringing at how utterly ridiculous I used to sometimes be. How negative, lazy, despiring, or simply ignorant I was. Even the past several months, I [...]

Steve Jobs Is Already Dead

If you listen to the Mac boot up sound (Duhhhh!) backwards, it says, “STEVE IS DEAD,” in an eerie, boogety sort of a voice.
This person needs a life and a PC:
Steve Jobs is my hero. He is one of the great thinkers and do-ers of all time. I love my macbook. It is my friend, [...]

Chains

Chains shall he break for the slave is our brother.

–O Holy Night
It is obvious in that His hand was in breaking the chains of slaves in the United States and elsewhere throughout the world (such as in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom), but what other chains does he break?
Chains of sin, perhaps?
Chains of [...]

Spiffy Graphics Malfunction

The other day, Windows Media Player’s window starting acting funny. The Windows Aero theme sort of… threw up on it. It’s rather exciting to see. Lookit. I love having FastStone Capture.

Level Five Chess; Stupid, Ancient Rules

I beat level five chess! Well… technically I didn’t, but I say that I did, so we’re going to have a party despite what the official Chess rules say. Stupid… Arabians. Or British. I believe it was the Arabic who originally conceptualized Chess, but the British took the idea and ran with it. I’m not [...]

List: Things to Do Over This Glorious Christmas Break

1. Read aplenty. At least… two novels. Also the Book of Mormon, naturally.

3. Finish blasted Humanities homework.
4. Enter in the chocolate-chip-load of receipts from December.
5. Watch: Home Alone 1 & 2, It’s a Wonderful Life, Holiday Inn, and any other films.
6. Go on that glorious [...]

One Wish

I have many wishes I make quite often.
One of these wishes I made while outside letting Julie go to the potty. It was snowing still, and the white stuff on the ground was at least a half a foot deep– probably a bit more. This reminded me of one fateful Valentine’s day now nearly a [...]

Stylin’ USB Drives

My sister recently bought a new MP3 player– a San Disk model– and didn’t need to borrow my old Creative one anymore, so she returned it. I have little use for it. It’s only 256MB and quite ugly when you plug on the power pack (which is needed for… well, power), and I have Leitilus, [...]

Literary Christmas

This Christmas I simply love. I am much more inspired than I’ve ever been, and I’ve been writing some quality stuff, or so they tell me. I got many books this Christmas, and I’m excited for them all!:
Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox by Eion Colfer
Airman by Eion Colfer
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by  J.K. [...]

Everything Has Its Beauty

I’ve come to find that everything has its own beauties. Being human, we’re trained to only notice certain kinds of beauties, and we often skip over the ones that matter most. Take a moment and we’ll look over some beauties we see all of the time that people commonly miss:
The mountains. Most of my readers [...]

Writer’s Block

Call it writer’s block, call it writer’s nuclear blast, I simply cannot write at the moment. I really, really need to. I need to write something inspiring, something touching, something meaningful. Usually I wait for inspiration to find me before I write, but I’m in need of some major inspiration right now, and the harder [...]

The Christmas Holidays

There are more holidays aside from Christmas that we celebrate in light of Christmas.
Halloween– the day we begin playing Christmas music.
Thanksgiving– the day we give thanks for the Christmas from last year; the breath before the plunge of preparing for Christmas this coming year. We spend some quality family time together, though not quite as [...]

That Famous, Infamous Device of Love

We call it the “kiss.”
It can be famous: it brings lovers great joy if wielded in the proper way, and can express love. It shows affection. Even a very popular chocolate is named after it.
It can be infamous: it is also a sign of great lust. When used as a gateway to mere personal [...]

Somewhat More Official

I feel quite special! Today I was awarded an official OSNews email address! It’s hosted at Google, of course, which is the best place to host your email account, and has the @osnews.com suffix! Now that I have an @calamitycomputers.com suffix and an OSNews one, I feel mightily special. Head on over to www.osnews.com to [...]

Christmas Wish List, ‘08

Below resides a link to a list of wishes I have for this Christmas of 2008. Read to be entertained if so desired, or to learn more about my deeper thinking, but not so as to get me any gifts, as I would rather give you one providing I had the money/time/knowledge of what to [...]

I Prefer Windows, So Sue Me

The congregation (at least those who comment) at OSnews is, for the most part, very much against Microsoft, especially Windows. The news site focuses on bringing to light lesser known operating systems– even lesser known than Ubuntu, which is probably one of the most common open source OSs available. However, the staff at OSnews try [...]

Bowels of Mercy

I just ate a hamburger even though I was full, but as I ate it, I felt a space suddenly created and food shift out of the way to welcome in the unhealthy deliciousness without becoming nauseated for the lack of a lack of food.

Internet People Are Insane

People on the Internet are crazy. Take the commenters of OSnews, for example. One of my jobs there is to read through every comment posted and make sure they’re at least not breaking any of the more solid commandments, as it’s a flexible democracy there, so really there are only a few things that will [...]

Only Nerds Will Laugh

If you’re a nerd, then click here. You’re going to laugh. Hard. Read the article as well as the comment under it (just the one– don’t click to read all comments). 
Even if you’re not a nerd, some of what is said in the comment will probably make you laugh. Some people just… aren’t very bright, [...]

Professional Author

At least… semi-pro. My first three summaries on OSnews weren’t written under my name, but rather under the pseudonymn of “weildish.” However, that is all about to change as I will now be able to submit summaries, articles, and editorials (I’m excited for those, as always) under my real name, “Jordan Spencer Cunningham.” I will [...]

200th Anniversary

I would like to commemorate this post as the 200th post since IPF’s original conception. May there be many hundreds more posts, and may they find their ways into the minds of those who need them. May those who scoff be put into their places, may those who are bitter find softener, may those who [...]
