Here at Flipse.Com, we're all about material possessions.

Computers

Computers, as you may have guessed, are a rather important part of my life. Here's an a listing of the systems I use-

At home-
Network is run through an Ark 8 port 10/100Mbps NWay Switch

The computer for the house is called Purple Dad. It serves internet access through the cable modem and printer and is used mostly by my dad and whomever else happens to be in the study at my house. 450Mhz Pentium II Processor
Abit BH6 Motherboard
17" Viewsonic Monitor
256MB RAM
SB Live! Value Soundcard
Cambridge Soundworks 2.1 Speakers

The computer this is being typed on is of my own creation, as are the rest of the boxes. Both of my machines run Windows 2000 Professional.

Connected to my second computer by means of a Cybex 4 Port SwitchView KVM being used to share a 19" Princeton Ultra 90 Monitor, NMB "The Right Touch!" Keyboard, Microsoft Intellimouse With IntelliEye on a black Everglide mousing surface. They're also connected via NetGear 10/100 8-port switch.

This is PurpleCow. This computer is the one directly connected to the school network. It shares net connection to my other computer. This is a big bonus for me, as it lets me share files without slowing down work/play on the computer I spend most of my time using. I also use it to burn CDs. I can in fact serve all kinds of things off this computer and hardly notice, including but not limited to, the FlipSEE Cam, a printer, many files via filesharing and FTP, some web stuff, Tetrinet, and Unreal Tournament.

Finally, I have a really sweet digital camera. It's an Olympus 3030Z. Takes beautiful pictures, and not too shabby videos.

Cars

I drive a 2001 Honda Civic EX, with a manual transmission. Here's a picture of the Civic and a picture of the Civic next to the Space Van. It's got a CD player, AC, moonroof, keyless entry, cruise control, power windows and such, and yes, the flat rear floor.

The Space Van belongs to my dad, but it was primarily mine to use throughout high school. It's a 1991 Toyota Previa with about 189000 miles. Power windows, locks, all that. We added a CD player, which is really quite nice. Sadly, the air conditioning is dead after my roadtrip.

We also have a front wheel drive Toyota pickup truck, black, from 1994. My dad has put something like 239000 miles on that, last time I checked.

Totally Random

Video Games-
I have a Nintendo with a few games, Color GameBoy with a few games, Super Nintendo with 25 or so games, and an N64 with Mario Kart, Mario, Zelda, Mortal Kombat, Bomberman, Goldeneye, and Star Fox. I've got Serious Sam, Total Annhilation, Worms 2, Hidden&Dangerous, Worms:Armageddon, No One Lives Forever, Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, and Thief. I have fairly not-legal copies of quite a few more, like Army Men, The Phantom Menace, and many more.

Lego Mindstorms with Sports Add-on. Of course, I have some pictures of my Lego creations.

An 8" shark in a bottle. It's dead

Quite a few Big Coke cups from the Arnot Mall. At a half gallon each, they come in quite hand in quenching your thirst through a long movie. Free refills too! Here's a picture of me with one of them.

More piles of mail from colleges than anyone could ever know what to do with. (Note - no longer exists. But I still have lots of random piles of other paper.)

Lots of Hard Rock Cafe and TMBG t-shirts. Also, quite a few Moxy Früvous tshirts. I'm working on my collection of Beta Theta Pi shirts.

A lightsaber. Here's a picture of me holding it and wearing my Jedi robes.

A red vinyl couch. It's a three-piece sectional. Cost=$20.

A sweet cordless Craftsman screwdriver. That only kinda works these days. But I have other tools, like a soldering iron (of justice?), regular screwdrivers, and good stuff like that.

BeOS and the BeOS Bible.

Many posters, including an autographed Sarah Slean poster and a promotional They Might Be Giants poster.

Lots of audio CDs.
