Windows Gadgets

I just picked up a new (refurbed) Dell Inspiron 13. I love it. It came with Windows Vista Home Premium. I have mixed emotions, but overall, I really like it. The new "big deal" seems to be gagets and aps. One gadget I found is the file extension gadget.

Basically, this gadget searches for errors and helps you fix them. That sounds like a great service for me. I recently tried to install the pandora gadget, but had problems related to my 64 bit processor. I'll check it out and let you know what I find.

Discussing the Previous Day

Anyone check out the videos? any thoughts on what you saw?

I love the "Dear Sister" SNL skit. I had to watch the original scene from the OC for context. It's still funny either way. Fred Armisen is a great character actor, however, Bill Hader has to be my favorite right now on SNL.

as for Douche Penn...what can I say? I don't care about people wanting to marry other people. It's a ridiculously overrated "cause" and if I were a starving, mosquito bitten, AIDS infected, diamond mining african child, I'd be pissed.

I'm not against gay marriage rights, I just think our time, energy, and money could be spent a billion other injustices. Hey gay dudes, take it from one straight married dude....the grass ain't always greener.

Just my humble opinion...

Plastic Matching

I collect vintage GI Joe's. For the last 5-6 years I've been trying to hit up the local toy show that is in town in August. This has been problematic during the last two summers because we travel around the same time. This year shouldn't be an issue. I use a matching plastic guide to help find the right replacement parts. It's a great product and it helps me when I'm missing pieces and need custom parts.

A Return to Blogging

So, why not keep on doing a good thing? I have some time, so I'm going to try to keep up my blogging. I'll post things that make me laugh and make me mad. Right now that's these things:
