RAM is what started all of this. My HP isn’t upgradeable, and I didn’t want to make that mistake again – – what a rip! My current computer is maxed out at 4GB of RAM, and I’m doubling that, sticking with 8 for now, which will DEFINITELY be upgradeable in the future. Innit it purdy? Looks like a racecar! Now…

Yves Rossy (Jetman) flying in his jetpack invention
Yves Rossy is a Swiss inventor who flies through the air with the greatest of ease – – in a jetpack!
A backpack with carbon-fiber wings and four jet engines, Rossy’s jetpack is classified as an aircraft by The United States Federal Aviation Administration. Rossy launches off by jumping from a helicoptor or plane, and lands using a parachute, but once he’s in the air, he’s able to fly alongside other aircraft, explore landscapes and even do loop de loops.
Watch how graceful and fun Yves makes piloting his jetpack in the following videos. I haven’t used a jetpack since Halo:REACH, when I switched to bumper-jumper, but maybe someday I’ll get to fly in one irl. A girl can dream, can’t she?
The future is now…

Edit: Looks like there is a jetpack of another variety set to be available to the public “by the end of 2015”: The Martin Jetpack. This one operates more like what we see in video games. You can reserve a Martin with a minimum deposit of $5,000. The target price is around $150,000.

It’s great to see the creative visuals artists come up with using Halo screenshots. Today, a screenshot artist brought himself to my attention on Twitter – well, I’d already seen some of his work, I just didn’t realize it was the same guy until I got to looking. He’s also been featured on Waypoint and by 0lah. Keep an eye…
Building my First PC – Part 1: Should I Wear Rubber Shoes?
I make decisions on anything that costs more than five dollars slow. Really slow. I research, I price check, I research some more. So last Christmas when I decided I couldn’t edit video any more on the computer I had and that I needed another one, I was prepared to dig in for weeks of information gathering before making my…
