Well Canes fans the dream ends in a standing ovation and hopes for next year. My unemployed friend Lee becomes a world traveller just returning from Boston. Down to 79 days until I head off to college, I'm so excited. My beautiful wife Donna continues to look for a job so we don't lose it all. I have to go to college no turning back, I have a dream and I'm going to go for it. I purchased my Vans Warped Tour tickets yesterday. Lauryn and I will be going to Virginia Beach again this year. I hear 303 will be there and Katy Perry and many others. This is the best summer show and our 3rd year going. I have about 2 weeks worth of vacation to take before I leave AT&T for good. Well friends that is all for today. Next week I have my surgery on my left wrist so not much typing until I heal.

American Idol

So who out there is surprised that Chris won, I mean the underdog wins, it's good for America right now. My thoughts are that Chris will become a big country star kinda like Carrie Underwood.

The big 3 day weekend is almost here, I hope a least a few of you out there will remember why we have this weekend. Remember to thank a veteran for all they have done. My family and I will attend a ceremony at the Veterans cemetery on Sunday as we have since I retired from the Navy in 1999. So as you enjoy your long weekend remember why you have it.

Online Museums

Bizarre and strange online museums, I want to meet the creator of some of these. Burnt Food, French Hats , The Condiment Packet Gallery, and Plan59 which is the only somewhat normal one. Some cool museums follow: Henry Ford, Moving Images and Computer History. Yesterday I email Bill Gates to see if he wanted to be my mentor no such luck. I got this website from the chairman. I haven't given up yet I think I'll hand write him a letter, I'll keep you all posted. If you know any industry leaders who might want to help out a 50 something college student send them my way. Well I'll end here have a great day and I'll write again soon.

I'm a Windows 7 PC

Been beta testing Windows 7 for a while now and the latest Windows 7 RC is great. It is far superior to XP and beats Vista which I've been using since it's release, hands down. I've got it installed on a Dell D630, there were no driver issues and all software is working seamlessly. The network setup and connections work with out any real input from me. I'm able to share all the files I want with everyone in our home network. So if I were you I'd become a Windows 7 PC as soon as I could. If you'd like any more information contact me I'll tell you what I've found. The MAC is under attack and I'm a PC :-)

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

So I had my nerve conduction procedure yesterday, very interesting. The mild electric shocks weren't too bad. The thin needle probes of the muscles were a little more intense, especially in the neck. When it was all over Dr. Tim said I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and he would send his findings to Dr. Messer. So on Friday afternoon I go to see him and discuss my options. I need to get this fixed before I start school. I need this tingling and numbness to be gone from my day. So as I get new information, I'll be sure to fill you all in. For now enjoy your day and live life to the max. We aren't here forever so enjoy your time here!
