Happy Belated New Year, Everybody

It's 2006! Hope everyone is having a great year so far. I didn't even bother making a resolution. I probably should have, though, because my resolution from last year worked, more or less. 2005 was a year of getting my shit together. There is still shit to get together, but some order of contentedness has returned to my life. It's hard to believe the decade is half over already, but I'm optimistic about the rest of it, for some reason.

I have been really bad about posting, in case you didn't notice, which I'm quite sure you have, but, hey...fuck off. Sorry, I didn't mean that. I'm posting now, aren't I? Just because I forget sometimes that I have a blog doesn't mean that I've given up on it. I just don't have a whole lot to get off my chest these days. And my muse must have died(probably of boredom), because my inspiration to write seems to have flown the coop.

It's not that I'm uninspired...I'm just inspired in a different direction right now. My compass for that sort of thing is sort of wobbly, however, so it'll take me some time to figure out what it's trying to point to, I think.

I still haven't said anything, have I? Am I rambling? Do I always ramble? Am I doing it again? Is there a point to any of this?

I'm working on updating the Xbox modification article I wrote a few posts back. I recently went through a huge hassle of physically removing the hard drive from my xbox, and plugging into my PC. It's kind of cool that it's even possible to it, but I could have totally fried my Xbox if I wasn't careful. I'm not sure exactly what happened to cause my Xbox to crash, but it can be prevented with proper precautions. Read more about it in a little while on the updated "Build a media center PC for $150(or so)" post.
