Rare weekend post

Went to the Children's Museum on Saturday with the whole Indiana chapter of the family.... they have a holiday slide they put out.. here's Carson:

I put up a PicasaWeb album too:

From Xmas @ Childr...

Operating System

No post until now because I've spent all morning loading Windows Vista Enterprise (64 bit) on my desktop.

Things seem to be moving faster overall, thus far... time will tell.

Friday Funnies
This week, I bring you The Joy of Tech.

Have a good weekend.

ICE ON THE ROAD, EVERYONE FREAKOUT!!!!

So my normal 25-35 minute commute turned into a 2 hour slow crawl of patience testing, brake stomping fun. Between the overly careful drivers and those drivers with no regard to other human life, it was quite the epic drive.

Pretty decent deal on a laptop over at SlickDeals... I would probably upgrade the video card and then price out upgrading the RAM to 2gb but otherwise looks like a decent offer.

I feel like this sometimes... heh

Like helping charities? Need some Mac Software? Let's combine those attributes into this wonderful idea.

IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER WOOT-OFF!!!

That's all for now, possibly more later.

What?

Soooo, Wednesday eh? Well, I don't have much today so let's get started.

Microsoft released their first commercial for Windows Vista... I'm going to have to agree with the review, it is pretty boring. ho hum.

Carson and I got haircuts last night... I tend to take Carson to CookieCutters here because they have a slide, let kids watch a show while getting buzzed, and they let them sit on neat ride-on vehicles instead of normal barber chairs. Like this:

If you click on the album for that photo, you'll see I added a new album there called Carson Candids... I'll drop random photos of Carson in there from time to time that I really like.



LIFE CHANGING TIPS AND TRICKS!!!!
This is a great tip for most everyone that has some amount of computing going on at home... How to improve your WiFi reception.


Ooooh! Halo 3 TV commercial looks very cool...

Tired Tuesday

meh... I did get the pictures from this weekend uploaded though! Carson went to his cousin's cousin's birthday... yes, that's right, my brother-in-law's sister's son. It's much more simple to explain if you could see the white-board I'm pointing at. At any rate, he had a lot of fun and really enjoyed seeing Elmo. Happy Birthday Colin and thank you to Jill and Doug for a fun party.

So yea, if you like Olive Stone movies and don't have many in your collection here's a way to bump your collection way up without spending a bunch of money.

More later? Perhaps.

GMail mystery solved!! So that's where they get it.

A holiday classic internet video as remade by Family Guy:

Blue Monday

Football disappointments abound this weekend... :*(

Huskers lose the Big 12 championship game... although they get the bid to the Cotton Bowl to play against #10 Auburn. Oklahoma goes on to play Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl.

The Colts lose to the Titans in what I will call an early Christmas present to Tennessee.

Yup... double whammy. At least my fantasy team is doing ok this morning (go Reggie Bush!).

Holy cold snap, batdude.

Wind advisories and temps in the 20s. I think it's snowing a little too. Yuck.

Read a great write-up on the Big 12 championship game... it is really nice seeing NU-OU playing in a conference championship that has important bowl implications. Even though both teams have changed dramatically over the years.

Oh man, SIGN ME UP FOR THIS!!!

Perhaps something new starting for Friday's... I like comics and there are a ton of good web comics out there that even I haven't seen. Maybe I'll pick an episode every Friday usually from a new strip (I'll have to plug my favorites a few extra times, of course). We'll call it:

Friday Funnies
Today's feature is: Joe and Monkey
It's really a random strip which is probably why I like it. I look forward to sharing my findings.

Great stop motion video...
