I'm allover the interwebs!
Today’s picture is of an Ati Radeon HD 4870 1Gb ddr5 Graphics Card, and an OCZ 120GB Summit Solid State Drive (SSD). These upgrades will surely make my Mac Pro more powerful and faster. I will have some videos and posts in the next couple of days regarding these upgrades and Snow Leopard. I will also post a video on how to hack (since I bought the Pc version of the graphics card to save money and get better performance) the Ati graphics card into the Mac version.
Here are some videos that illustrate what I did this summer in Canada. I was in Montreal, Mont Tremblant, and Toronto!

And that concludes the most interesting things I did this summer. For the Period I was in Montreal and Mont Tremblant I was with my parents, which was great. When in Toronto I was with many friends and that as well was great!
A Great Sandwich in Baroli Caffe in Eaton Centre Toronto. This sandwich is made of Grilled Chicken Breast, Asparagus, Spinach Spread, And Swiss Cheese. It has great bread and tastes amazing grilled! Try it next time you are in Toronto.

I have not posted recently because my parents are in town, and I am busy spending time with them and being a tour guide. With that said I have had a lot of exciting video to capture and thought I would Share. If you like the videos and would like to know anything about them let me know.

3. A Painter in the Old Port
4. A Human Robot in the Old Port

A crowd gathered around a performer singing a bunch of songs mashed up into each other. Reminds me of Playing for Change.
Stand by me, and In the Jungle, they actually sound good mashed up together!
Hello everyone. Today I added a Paypal donation button in the side bar on the right –>. I use to think of it as a way to beg, however that’s not the case. If you find anything that you liked on my website (Blackberry Unlock etc) and feel like helping me acquire more technological gadgets (I have my eye on a Canon DSLR and a Mac Pro), pay some bills, or whatever you can donate by clicking on the Paypal button. I don’t ask for a minimum as that would be begging. Anything you would like to donate is great. Every penny is appreciated!
Ps. For the gadgets, I will only spend it on items that would help me progress this site like the Camera or the Mac Pro. Thank you again!
I use my computer a lot. That is what bought it for. However there are ways to help keep it running well. By maintaining your computer the stress on the hardware is less, which in turn means your computer will probably last longer and operate better. If you know any other things to keep a mac running well please comment, as I am still a somewhat new to the mac scene.
1. Weekly Run of OnyX. I like OnyX because it is free, simple, and automated. I just let it do its thing. I highlight everything in the Automation Tab (Maintenance, Rebuilding, Cleaning). It takes a while, and afterwards the computer might run a bit slow for a while, because it is rebuilding a lot of indexes.
2. Weekly or Monthly Defragment. Since I am constantly Downloading, Uploading, Copying, Moving, and Deleting Files, my fragmentation will likely start to affect my hard drive’s performance. There is a huge debate all over the interwebs about if defragmentation is really needed for OS X. I feel that it is. What defragmentation does, is move files on the hard drive closer (and in better locations) so that the hard drive does not have to search for them all over the place. This will speed up performance and also keep your drive functioning longer. I am currently using the demo of Drive Genius 2 to do this.
Quick morning post before I run an errand for a friend and go for a run. I went to the jazz festival on the final day (July 12th, 2009) and I was lucky enough to have my camera with me. I caught this acrobat duo, and also the fireworks show. Enjoy!
Ps. Remember these videos are shot in HD, so click on the hd button if you have a fast internet connection, the quality will be much better than normal.
