first off, my old highschool had its graduation today... wooptie doo. i live really close by and my street was packed with cars... kind of a drag, but its a special occasion and i didnt have a problem last year when i graduated. congrats to all those whoo graduated, i hope to see some friends next semester in college.

moving on...

i want you people to start talkin back now that i have my cool lil talk back thingy. so after alot of thought i've decided to periodicly post helpful lnks based on what people ask me, so if u have any questions, fire away, but in the meantime here is a really useful utility:

Ad-aware
It seeks out spyware on your computer and eliminates it. for those of you who don't know what spyware is, here is a definition: Spyware is a piece of software that attempts to "call home" or communicate with a remote server. Spyware is becoming synonymous mostly with marketing companies that track your surfing habits so they can customize and serve you ads specifically suited to your tastes. Some forms of spyware even use your computer's Internet connection to deliver ads to other users on the Internet. (i found that when using NetZero, the required on screen banner ad would magicly "know" what kinda sites i was looking at and show ads based on those sites.... kinda scary.)

anyways, lemme know what you guys think.
