There goes the punchline....

So, 12 years ago, my boss spend a good sum of money to bring all of the computers in our office up to Windows 95 from Windows 3.11 (good times...) After an hour, I went into his office and declared, "I don't see much of a difference - I mean, Solitaire is exactly the same!"

Well, in Windows Vista, Solitaire has been improved.

(Just a side note, by the end of the day, I had hacked Windows 95 and had replaced the Windows 95 logo - with the pretty clouds - with a "Happy Mac".)

I accomplished a summer goal!

My XBox Live gamer score is now over 1000 points. Yeah, it was a retro game(Frogger) that pushed me over.

Good times....

Arg!!!!!!

Have you ever spent three days of your life on a project just to watch it go "poof"? Yeah - that was my last 3 days.... Well, right now it looks like it will take only two days to do the second time.... I did figure out what caused all of the computers to fail.... So, it won't happen the second time.

Thanks for the great seats, Poole!

So, we went to the Michael W. Smith concert last night at the Denver Pavillions - the friends we went with bought the tickets... I pulled out the new cell phone and got a picture of the stage from our seats - second row - right behind a lighting support post. (You can almost make out Smitty's shoulder right next to the post.) I was able to see the rest of the band pretty good though. (And Melissa was sitting next to me and could actually see pretty well.)

(Still learning to use the camera phone - somehow the resolution on the camera got set to "crappy". Better luck next time.)

Look out world, I'm back!

One evening, back in March 1999, I spent the night price bumping on eBay - nothing dishonest, you know, not bumping my own items or even items of friends or family - just looking for items that just needed a little more action and helping them out. Well, that night I sheepishly crawled in bed confessing to my wife that I had just "accidentally" purchased a laptop. So, needless to say, I have been prohibited from using eBay ever since.

Well, last night, my wife and I were discussing "the basement" again - we decided that the best solution to two pregnancies & two childrens' accumulations of clothes is eBay! So, I'm sure I'm not allowed to buy anything - yet - but I have set up my sellers account.
