New Microsoft Slogan

Microsoft’s slogan should be: It Just Don’t WorkAnd if it does, we will disable it with Windows Genuine Dis-Advantage. Your mileage won’t vary… BTW, if anyone has sucessfully gotten Office Live Communications Server 2007 to work in a multi-domain environment. let me know. Specifically the “Front End Server” won’t start without a hexadecimal error message […]

Black Friday Sales

Once again, we are in the home stretch to Black Friday. Once again, I will be getting up early to brave the cold (and the other shopping idiots) to claim my share of the savings. This year I don’t plan on buying a big screen TV so I can skip the rat race at Best […]

Windows Vista = ME V2

If you haven’t seen the new Apple Get a Mac ad,go and watch it. This is the best one yet. I love the line about “don’t ask what Vista can do for you, but ask what you can buy for Vista.” “If your printer does not work with Vista, buy a new one.” But they […]

What a Weekend

For nothing really planned, except for a DJ gig out in Driscoll on Saturday, the weekend went really fast. It’s amazing how when one needs to, they can can keep theirself occupied… More to come tomorrow…

Start a Bank of America Checking Account…

Mondays….

Boy, I hate Mondays…

First Snow of the Season

I woke up this morning to find the ground almost completely white. I’m not sure I’m ready for winter yet, but we have been pretty lucky so far this year as to get our first snow in November…

A New Meaning to “Black Friday” Deals!

Today I decided to make a purchase that may or may not pan out in the future. I bought a casket off of overstock.com. No, I really don’t plan on dieing anytime soon, but I figured it may be a worthwhile investment. Given the cost of inflation, I figure when I die a casket will […]

Something to do before I die…

A couple of years ago when I was out in Long Beach, CA, I missed the chance to go aboard the Queen Mary. I really regret this as I am somewhat of a ghost tourist (if that is such a thing)! At any rate I enjoy spooky stuff and was really mad that they had […]
