My Screen Died – I Have A New Screen
Yup, just a few days after my Mac died my old screen followed suit and threw in its towel. My new monitor (Acer S273HLAbmii) is rather huge with its 27 inches. It’s a monster and it’s great for gaming and just about anything else. It’s full HD with a 1920 x 1080 pixels, perfect for video. Don’t know why I mentioned gaming — maybe because I downloaded UT3: Black Edition through Steam. Oh, how I’ve missed the UT universe — too bad I’m getting my ass kicked in multiplayer mode. Better get to it and practice a bit more.
Another Prometheus Viral
This one features Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) — a Prometheus crew member. No new insight into the actual movie (or is there?). Still, it’s a good one.

My Mac Died – I’m A PC Now
Yes, what the title says; my MackBook died two days ago. It just sat there booting up when turning it on and then it shut itself down before the boot process was complete. Lyckily I’ve been pretty adamant in keeping backups of important documents, photos and mp3′s. I was without a computer for a full 24 hours (granted, I kept my iPhone close at hand) and then I went and bought a new computer. A PC! The brand is Acer and it’s called Aspire Predator 3610 (Intel Core i5-2320 processor/3 GHz, Nvidia GeForce GT545 graphics card, 8GB RAM and a 1 TB HDD). I opted for a brace yourself; desktop. I felt I needed a powerfull workstation and this computer is fast — Photoshop CS5 starts in 1.5 seconds. Not that I have Photoshop, it’s way to expensive. I’m looking forward to installing Sony Vegas and Sony Acid — I got a promo code from a friend and I might order their Imagination Suite (or whatever it’s called). Also looking forward to installing a few games. The only remnant from my Mac days are iTunes, I need that for the iPhone, I’m listening to music as I type this and I’m naturally using Winamp — not iTunes. I was a bit worried that the computer would be loud but it’s really quiet. Well, that’s about it for this post.
