What Beats is all about

Most people describe Beats as either overpriced or that they sound awful. Two things statements in that sentence, "overpriced, and "sound awful", need to be addressed. Consumers say that Beats is overpriced, but compared to what? You can't say something is overpriced unless you can compare it to something that has a better value than what you are calling overpriced. Secondly, people say that Beats sound terrible simple because the music they listen to doesn't fit the sound signature that Beats i

My experiences with installing Ubuntu on a PowerBook G4

So I got a PowerBook G4. Yay! Only problem is, Mac OS X 10.5.8 is just borderline useful in 2016, especially on a PowerPC machine with 512MB RAM. That, and I grew frustrated with the way how Mac OS X is designed. So, I decided to install Linux on it. Here's how things went down:   Downloaded Ubuntu MATE 15.10 PowerPC ISO Wrote it to an 8GB flash drive using LiLi Tried booting to it, it wouldn't boot Tried using the Mini ISO instead Mini ISO was missing a lot o

Russian Handwriting + More Pronunciation!

I'm a bit late but I have been studying a lot in my spare time in order to meet my schedule, so please forgive me for my lateness. Anyways.........!   Now the book I am using to study this with has a "skip" section on the handwriting section if your aim is to just read/speak it, but if you wish to persist through this too, I've taken some sample shots of the pages' instructions. If you need clearer images, I went ahead and googled some more references for you that you can get to by cli

#12 New job, new people

So, I have not been exactly the most active blog member. I've been going through a job change- from IT Technician to Network Manager at the biggest school in my town. So proud. Anyway, places change, jobs change but people... people never change. A girl came up today asking for a "Geiger counter". If I was a halfwit I'd have no idea what she was on about but I know a few things about science, 3 to be exact. I said I'm the Network manager but she said "my teacher told me to go to the technician".

Sakura's Farewell

Unlike some other posts I've posted on this blog, this one is rather serious.   In May of 2001, we were looking for a new cat after another was unfortunately killed by a car on a busy street down the street from our house. On the 12th, we adopted a mostly-dark cat covered in varying shades of brown and gray, with one orange spot on her forehead. We named her Sakura, Japanese for "cherry blossom". Oh, what a fitting name that was. Ever since she was a kitten, she was always on her best

Learning to Read Russian

After practicing the sounds in the previous entry (click here to be linked there) we can start to practice reading some vocabulary. Doing this now will see if you remember the sounds, or if there are some problematic sounds you can't yet make. I'm going to give the Russian words to the left, their pronunciations to the center and the translations to the right. Cover the pronunciations and the translations with a sheet of paper or an extra window (open up firefox or something), or you will be che

Russian Sounds

Russian Sound Inventory   1st Post   For the sake of ease, I will include the "non-Linguistic" method of explaining the sounds as well as providing the IPA of each vowel and consonant (they will be wrapped in a parenthesis). Since I am at the beginning of the  book, I will not delve too deep into Allophony, merging, etc etc. Maybe the book will cover that later. I don't wish to jump ahead for my own good as well as anyone who may be reading this. Anyways... first I'll break them
