Time to Ditch Digsby

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

I used to love Digsby. Ugly as it is, it’s the closest thing one can get to having the awesome Adium on Windows. However, in light of these new craptastic features that’s been added to the latest version, I have decided not to use Digsby again.

UPDATE 8/16: O HAI, Digsby. You’ve been /.’ed. Geeks are not happy. Prepare to meet thy doom.

Safety Razor

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Not too long ago, I switched from using a multi-blade razors (Gillette Sensor) to a single blade upon realizing two things:

- I certaintly don’t need more than one blade when shaving
- Gillette is raping us with the price of their razor blades

I toyed with the idea of switching to straight edge razor, but the price of a decent straight edge can get quite expensive, and I abhor the idea of being able to slit my throat without even trying too hard.

So the only other alternative is using the classic single-blade safety razor. I bought the tried-and-true Merkur safety razor (after reading the intarwebz) with Derby blades, a large tube of Prorazo cream and a badger-hair brush. I was struggling with the first few shaves, and even had a nick or two…but I got used to it and now I can never see myself shaving any other way…plus it’s cheaper, too!
