Monday blues…

So the Colts lost, :sadface:. But at 9-1 they are still the best in the conference… I hope they can fix the problems that the Cowboys exposed.

It’s a short week with Thanksgiving on Thursday! We will be traveling to visit Jenni’s grandmother in Ohio and Jenni’s mom and dad will be there too. Should be a really nice visit. Carson is already excited.

Friday!!!!

Ok, so it’s 3:39pm and I’m just now putting a blog post up… should speak to how busy I am today. heh

We have Windows Vista and Office 2007 on hand, so trying to sort through that… scrambling to write documentation and notify people of it’s availability. I’ve also started testing MS Forefront Client Security, which is the corporate version of Windows Defender with some extra stuff. All of that AND the phone has been ringing off the hook here today.

We had our Thanksgiving Luncheon at work and man, there was a ton of food. I brought one of 12 supplied pumpkin pies.

To make up for the lack of links and actual interesting content, here is a video to take you worries away:

It’s a woot-off people!

If you’ve never been to woot.com, today is a good day to go. They are having a “woot-off”… which means they will continually have an offer up all day. Normally (as their logo states) they offer “one day, one deal”, basically a decent deal on some random product each day. The product will be available for as much stock as they have. Sometimes things get sold out before 8am, but when they have these woot-offs there’s something all day long and it’s different stuff.

Gonna have other pics from Heather and Brett’s visit up today.

For Heather, Bill Polian owns the Colts.

Pics from H&B’s visit! This one is the best.

From Heather and B…

Hump day arrives…

So yea.. Wednesday again and I think I’m going to start something just for hump day.

LIFE CHANGING TIPS AND TRICKS!!!!

OK, so for the first Hump Day Tip… we have “How to Save a Wet Cell Phone”
If you have ideas for good material for tips or having something that’s been nagging at you that you would love a tip for let me know and I’ll try to personalize some of my tips for people.

And in the spirit of being helpful along with the approaching holiday season here’s GiftHat, it’s a wishlist site that let’s you create a list with links and pictures to the things you would love for Christmas.

What a dilema!

Patch Tuesday

Every month about this time Microsoft does some patching… which means somethings get broken and somethings get fixed but break other things. It all adds up to me having to work more. 🙁 Such is the life of people in computer support, we accept it. Just don’t expect much from us for the next two days and everything will be groovy again after that.

One of my favorite Mac commercials…

Some Vista links for those who are interested… good info here.

As a former collector (and current holder of) sports (baseball) cards, this is what you call a keeper.

Monday already!?!?

Well, it’s Monday already… ain’t that a _____? Heather and Brett left out this morning. We had a great visit!! Got to look around downtown and do a little shopping, saw the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame, and looked through the Civil War Museum in Monument Circle. Sunday came and we watched the Colts trying their hardest not to lose, too bad they weren’t trying to win instead would’ve been more scoring. 😉

A cool online utility for those that don’t have access to a place online to store your files.

Danish speed control… Not Safe For Work (nekid danish people).

Cool event coordinator site, that’s free!

Friday is finally here!

So Friday is here and as I type this I’m sure Brett and Heather are in the car headed this way. Woohoo!

Was a decent morning too… Carson was awake and moving, he seemed to sleep better. His cough is still there but it’s moving stuff so that’s good. More later.

Public Service Announcement: Don’t do this… the end.
HA!

Great video/song

Also check out this crazy cat!

Hump day is here

Another day closer to Brett and Heather’s visit! Woot!!

So here’s a great story about a silly race car driver. Brett and I have done something very similar except for we got yelled at before we injured ourselves. haha

Got my DVD Recorder last night, and made 3 DVDs from VHS tapes and Camcorder tapes. It works pretty darn good. I need to watch the output on a non-widescreen TV to see how it looks on there still.

Here’s a great video, it’s not for the kids… animated violence, animated adult situations, etc. 🙂

Another great video I saw was this one that is a parody of David Blaine.
