So many of my clanmates are getting new video cards that it renews my interest in frames. Sweet, sweet frames — 10 – 30 per second is no longer enough. I must have more! And more shaders!

So it must be time to move on from my trusty GeForce 4 Ti4600 and get a new card. I was avoiding it, but now is the time to strike. I have a few hundred bucks in consulting fees coming in, and I can get a big discount on video cards.*

I have to take a new tack, though. I can no longer afford to blow $300-500 on a new card every few years… well, I could, but then K would get upset. Therefore, I’m looking at an ATI Radeon 9600XT with 256MB of RAM, which is normally $200, but which I can snag for $160.

Let’s see how it goes.

* Oh, yeah, I should probably mention that from now until January 30, MicroCenter is having a “Build Your Own System” sale, in which all PC components are 20% off. Just thought you’d like to know.

Since all y’all seem to be so excited about the iPod Shuffle, and several of us already own the iPod, I though I’d share this little hack with you. Now you can have your own iPod Shuffle before your local stores have it!

Here’s a creepy story about internet-enable surveillance cameras.
