Theo’s gone

Theo, the best GM in Red Sox history, is gone.

Eric Wilbur of Boston.com says it best.

This sucks.

iTunes Re-Rating

I have been trying to do that rating system for awhile, but it is just too easy to give out a 4 or 5 star rating! I have to learn to be a little more objective in some of the songs I give those ratings to.

The case of the 500-mile e-mail

A humorous story every computer guy should read.

Commodore 64

Paul Thurott has a post on his blog about a book on the Commodore 64. The first computer my family ever owned was a 64, way back around 1984-1985 when I was 2-3 years old.

Those were the best machines. Amazing how good those things were, especially at games. Those machines never died too, years later around 1992-1993, my elementary school still had a bunch of those in classrooms. To this day, I can’t decide if it was because they were so good or because my school was so cheap that they couldn’t upgrade them. Probably both.

Extra hour!

Well I took full advantage of my extra hour of sleep last night. Nothing like getting up when it used to be 10:00 and is now 9:00!

I didn’t have many clocks to reset this time around, compared to when I used to live with my parents. Just 1 analog clock, 1 digital alarm clock, and the microwave clock. The rest (two cell phones and computers) reset automatically.

Oh I just remembered, I have to reset my car clock. Time to pull out the manual for my radio, because I never remember how to do it. Maybe I will actually do it today, instead of waiting a few weeks and mentally adding/subtracting a hour like I usually do!
