So, got a stack of PS3s sitting around waiting to be eBayed for thousands? Well, now you have options! This story warms the heart and boggles the mind.
And from the Department of Strange and Inappropriate Tattoos, this beauty!
My favorite show, Mythbusters, got some coverage from the NY Times recently. Pretty cool stuff.
More to come…
It’s that crazy purple hippo…
Cool stuff for SysAdmins! Windows Powershell
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.
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!
Today I’m sitting in on a co-worker’s class on Group Policy Objects. I made that sentence a link to a wikipedia article, in case you were wondering what it was. After reading the article myself it seemed boring, but it’s not and I’m super psyched to be in the class. Since I’ll be in this class I may not update this much today but I’ll try to put some stuff in here that might pop into my head.
More later.
Quick note on the “This day in history” tip… GODZILLA! was released this day in 1954 in Tokyo. If you ever listen to The Bob and Tom morning show, you will chuckle knowing this fact. I know I did.
WHOA! Louisville beat West Virginia 44-34. I thought it would be a close game but that WV would come out on top, after reading Pat Forde’s story on ESPN.com it looks like Louisville shocked more than just me. This is why I like College Football so much, the stories, the drama, the “intangibles” (*does the Brett hand motion*), and home team being able to perform ungodly feats thanks to their fans. Pro football is fun but it lacks the heart and drama of the College scene.
K.. back to class. 😉
LUNCH BREAK!! Ok, so I was talking with someone about Google’s income so far this year and it being in the billions. I FOUND THE LINK! Yes, revenue of $2.69 BILLION for the 3rd quarter. If you love Google as much as I do (which I’m hardly certain is possible), then you’ll find Download Squad’s coverage of Google very entertaining. One link I got from the Googleholic category that I found more scary than entertaining was The Church of Google. I mean wow, freak alert. 😉
Alright folks, back to class… let’s hope I don’t get the normal post lunch coma.
Coma averted… whew.
Helpful links from class:
GPO Guy site
Customizing Windows Security Templates
Advanced Installer
Qwerty.msi
Good class overall, I learned some quality stuff.. that I will spare all of you from. 😉
and maybe that was a good thing. I am here now though, so you’re screwed.
Great link if you are running Windows Vista: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?page_id=164&page=7
The saga continues with Dell Financial… I’m not sure how they can continually do things incorrectly but they never fail to surprise me.
What else, Carson had dentist and doctor appointments… all checked out for him, which is nice. He is in the 50th percentile for height and weight, so despite him appearing to be smaller than everyone, he’s the normal one. Note to self, stop hanging around with people with HUGE children. 😉 hehe
hmm… running out of ammo, ooh check this out: http://www.supermediastore.com/superflash-ed-r-4gb-usb-20-usb-flash-drive-black.html
4gb flash drive for less than $70, word.
Quick product review: Gmail for your mobile device (the app not the webpage) – http://gmail.com/app
It rocks… little buggy on my OLD Blackberry (plus it’s version 1.00), but overall it’s awesome. So much faster than using the web browser and it looks a ton better.
