35:365 - Only Room For 1 Originally uploaded by Ryan Paul Kikuchi I'm using this to give a short update on my declutter effort. And since spring cleaning is just around the corner for a lot of you; getting a few tips head start won't hurt. I haven't gotten to a point yet that I am comfortable with yet. Albeit, the path is proving to be fruitful. I've thrown out lots of stuff I haven't used in long while. Even things I would have hung onto emotionally in the past. It's true what they say. It gets easier over time. Similar to the Zero-Inbox phenomenon; once you get use to deleting e-mails while you're processing them you get really fast and good at throwing away what you don't need anymore. I'm not necessarily decluttering because I need more space but to get the stuff out of my life that I don't have any use for anymore. And somethings I just want to get rid of because they are bulky and ugly. I currently don't have any designated st

From APT Bldg Originally uploaded by joshualane Just a little something I wanted to share with you all.

I took a little trip to Münster today. I wanted to visit a few stores especially I wanted to go to some place they sell Macs. And at Gravis I found one. Since the day Steve Jobs announced the new iMac and The Keyboard, I was curious. I checked them both out today. And I must say if I had the money to spare I would have ordered one today. That machine is sexy and fast. I'm comparing it to my black MacBook and my Dual G5 2Ghz. I think a big part in the "zippy-nes" is on part of the graphics card. I tried out the new iLife apps on the 20" iMac, and now I really think it runs slow on my G5. The design is much more applealing to me in real life. Looking at the photos on Apple's site didn't really amaze me. You'll have to see it for yourself. The shiny screen wan't going to scare me any bit, since I've gotten use to my glossy goodness on my MacBook. I really like the way the gloss lets me enjoy my pictures and movies. And when crunching out code it isn

Well to keep this short. I started my day with getting up early. And for me that's 5:45 am. I got into some clothes and made some space in the living room for some exercise. I usually practice HapKiDo as I did today. First some basic techniques and them some sword swings and combos. After about 25 min and getting sweaty I hit the shower, got dressed, turned on some of my favorite music, and made breakfast. Not much just a small portion of Muesli to get my metabolism started up. So how does it feel? Well I know what most of you are thinking right now. "Oh, gosh, I could never get up that early, not mentioning doing exercise!" Well I was like that a few weeks ago as well. It takes some uptake on self discipline, which is doable. There are a few things that helped me do this. A few blogs I read about productivity and life-hacking(why no links? Google your own I don't want to influence you on that). And Joe's Goals . I lets you track little achievements and mishaps i

So lets see here. Johannes Kleske wrote on imgriff.com about sharing what's in your bag on a daily basis on his post . And called for other bloggers to share. I'll follow this one up right here. So what do I take with me every day? my MacBook including a Crumpler Gimp power brick and MDVI to VGA adapter for my MacBook Apple Remote for presentations old headphones from my 3G iPod some pens and a pencil & eraser my business cards a Moleskine for on the go notes my trusty point and shoot HP R717 Cables(cross-over Ethernet, power extention, USB cable for cam, audio jack with adapter a small 256MB USB stick for quick transfers ear plugs in case it gets really noisy where I am a spare pair of contact lenses and some eye drops some chap stick, tic tacs and winter green chewing gum, and some paper handkerchiefs a small "survival kit" with a lighter a knife and a flash light and a glow stick. (Although I have to leave the lighter and the knife at home when I go by plan

Arrrr, land rats! Well this morning the mail man brought us a package with Windows Vista Business Upgrade. I though I was gonna have fun. But since the Vista experience amounted up to me not being able to install it because of a million things that would take to long to list here. So I wanted to snatch the manual and do a RTFM, that when I saw that cool pirate map they put in with the documentation. Yaaar, tis be a great idea to have come up with. I studied it a bit and when read the inside I almost fell of my chair laughing. A bunch of morons they be. Pwned themselves they did. But have a look yer'self . And the whole map.

The Quest is Over Originally uploaded by Noodleholz . Back in November I finally got it. My very own MacBook. I blogged about this in May. The quest is over. I've managed to optimize my finances and scratch the money together. To say the least I love the new machine. Being used to a iBook G4 800 MHz that I borrowed in the mean time this thing is just screaming. I even think it feels faster than my PowerMac Dual G5. What makes me even more fond of this gadget is that I managed to bring up the determination and willpower to make this happen. So it reminds me of how proud I am of myself. I count it in as a trophy. So the gloss I worried about, it's no deal at all. Of course if you're out in the sun it will distract you a great deal, but that sort of applies to all notebooks in my opinion. The battery takes me through 5 hours of school/work at least and about 2h 30m in Bootcamp(There aren't any efficient power management drivers out yet that's why it drains the
