Okay.. so here's one.

I have recently wiped my laptop clean because of all the viruses and spyware.

I am using my laptop primarily for a single program which is memory intensive and can crash easily. I know virusscan prgrams can take a lot of resources and traditionally can make things crash sometimes.

BUT.. I don't want those things again.. my friend who installed my new version of XP pro for me says I don't need it and that windows firewall really does the trick.. claims he never gets virusses.

Yup.. haven't really even been trolling.. miss you guys..
Working fever pitch on a project until June..

"George Lucas rapped my Childhood.." Now.. its an offensive term, and its not rapped, theres only one "p".. and one that I hear bandied about.. mostly about Star Wars.. and I never got it. I kind of like episodes 1 and 2 and still LOVE Episode three. Who could really get so upset.. its not as good.. but its that thing you love, right?

Wrong.

Good lord, I am sad right now. I LOVED Knight Rider. It was trashy, silly, television that everyone seemed to have fun doing. Talking Car that could jump over trucks but was snarky and sarcastic, Smiling goofball good-guy who can't be stopped. Bad Cars, cool sci-fi, and lots of fun.

hey.. I've been MIA (and will return)
Meantime.. here's someone else we haven't seen since summer 1989
CLICK HERE TO SEE THE RETURN OF INDIANA JONES!!

Enjoy!

Heath Ledger just died.

OK..
So my buddy is setting me up with a computer from 2003.
NOTE: This guy is an engineer, and a producer of the film.. so I respect his opinion a lot.. but I alseo respect you guys as well..

Wha? For Video editing?

Well.. its an old server from his work with what he describes as a WAY faster motherboard and a (is this right?) RAID HD. He says its 10K Rpms. It has XP pro (vista is, evidently, bad) and 150gb on that fast HD.. plus a USB 2.0 for me to plug a 500gb storage drive. He says it can take up to 12gb of ram and has like a ton of expansion bays (we're throwing in a cool Graphics and Sound card)

I'm sorry I never have time for long well thought out posts these days.. but I had to share..

Kelly and I just got done watching Ratatouille.. the Disney/Pixar smash from last summer...

We were going to watch Superbad, but the disc was scratched, and I had picked up Ratatouille to see if Liam liked it.

I learned 2 things.

1) Ratatouille is wrong for really young kids. It will vary between too slow and too scary.

And its...
Obama and Huckabee in Iowa.. this should be interesting.

Thoughts?
