So I’ve finally found some time to write my (very) late review of the Zune HD, a touch screen Portable Media Player from Microsoft. Boasting “Portable Perfection” as its motto, does it live up to the name? I am finding out. Hit the link and read
UPDATE: Whoops! forgot a performance and battery section. Added at the bottom.
UPDATE:This will be more of an advanced description than a review, so I have promptly renamed it “Zune HD ‘Deep Dive’”

Well, today was the moon festival

We played outside for a while, then decided to go for a walk around the block…then it started to rain.

Here’s some pics:

The FOOD!!

MOONCAKES!!!

All the food in their glory.

A few days ago Microsoft launched their freeware antivirus/antispyware software for genuine Windows users. Microsoft says that Morro is not competing, but is just giving a “install->update->scan->leave alone” software for users. I am using and extremely like its clean, simple and to-the-point interface.

You can get it here!
XP 32bit and Vista/7 32 and 64-bit are supported.
Comment on whether you like it not!

look here! there IS and SDK for the Zune!

Sorry guys, I haven’t been posting recently. After the new hands-on CNET has released. It has been confirmed that the Zune HD can not stream flash media

So Flash sites like Youtube and Pandora are out.

But it is still as good looking, but I think there should be more colors.

The instant I heard the rumors, I loved this thing. Now people from Gizmodo are testing out a prototype that looks awesome already. What is that? It’s the ZUNE HD!!!

Just a list of what I am doing/am going to do

Partition disk and dual boot Win7

Do HW(but of course!)

Do project bleh.

Today we went ice skating, but 10 minutes before it was time to go, my feet got sore and I had to stop. Also, I have a the AeroVG theme which is awesome. I combined it with Aero transparency and 0% color intensity to create a totally transparent environment(note I’m a Septimus Heap fan, hence the background):

And my beloved Big Sister who is my bestest friend is coming back on Saturday!!

The lyrics to Mathmaticious are below(note: I DIDNOT DO THIS! ALL CREDIT GOES TO SUMERSET INC):

Four, three, two, one
Listen up, ya’ll, ’cause this is it
The numbers we’re making are so vicious
Mathmaticious expeditious can be kind of scary
I hope my answers aren’t radical or imaginary
I convert percents to fractions, it brings me some satisfaction
Like scientific notation and order of operations
Mathmaticious (repetitious)
Gets me expeditious
My answers may get vicious
My eraser’s left in stitches
I make wishes (woo-ah)
I get the answer right, right
And I’ll be staying up all night just to check what I write
Mathmaticious (The Pythagorean Theory)
Mathmaticious (Finds the hypotenuse for me)
Mathmaticious (Or I’ll use trigonometry)
I’m Mathmaticious (d-d-d-d-d-decimal, decimal)
Locus of the points
Locus of the points
Locus of the points (points is echoing)
I’m up about figuring out greatest common factors
And when I make a pie chart I’m in need of a protractor
The angle of elevation, thanks to my calculations
Turns out to be 43, a prime number
I’m Mathmaticious (repetitious)
It makes me so ambitious
My answers are judicious
Calculator never glitches
It’s my mission (deh deh deh den)
I get the answer right, right
And I’ll be staying up all night just to check what I write
Mathmaticious (What’s the probability?)
Mathmaticious (Of me not labeling my axis)
Mathmaticious (When graphing inequalities)
Mathmaticious (hold, hold, hold, hold, hold up, check your work)
Computing areas
Quadratic formula
Graphing parabolas
I think they’re all so cool
It’s my soul commitment
That I ace the Regents
Sine, cosine and tangent
Are my favorite tools
I divide, multiply, add, subtract, round off and simplify
I divide, multiply, add, subtract, round off and simplify
Is it whole? Rational? Factor out, substitute, solve for x
Is it whole? Rational? Factor, factor, factor, hit the pi key
