What day is today?

I may be a few days late with this post, but I think I’ll do it anyway.

With a new year comes new calendars, and here are a bunch of resources to find the one to fit your needs:

Did Microsoft and Sun Team Up?

This is not an April Fools post.

The other day I was installing a Java Update, and I found it a little strange to see this ad for the MSN Toolbar, with the option to install it.

Aren't Microsoft and Sun mortal enemies? Much like He-Man and Skelator, Gi-Joe and Cobra, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny? What sort of alternate dimension am I in when these two team up?

Surviving on Wallpaper Tuesday

image

Yes, I’m going to stop posting about left 4 dead today. Well, eventually. :-)

Since the game is released today, I figured it’s only fitting to use one of their wallpapers for my desktop.

If you go to the Left 4 Dead Media page, you’ll see 4 wallpapers on the bottom right. The one I chose is titled “Survivors”.

Hope you guys enjoy it, and make sure to watch your back.

A new City for Your Desktops

Sorry folks, it’s been a bit since I posted a picture for Wallpaper Tuesday and today I came to a point where I was just absolutely sick of pumpkins, so I had to change my wallpaper. I’ll get back on track with Wallpaper Tuesday next week.

Ah, the dream of recording Skype calls. Up until yesterday, I just couldn’t get this seemingly simple task to work. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get it all working, but I just couldn’t seem to do it.

When Art and I record our podcast, Art records his side of the conversation, and I record my side of the conversation. Then I get an MP3 of my side of the conversation to him, and he merges it.

No Hope on Wallpaper Tuesday

This wallpaper is titled "The Island of Lost Hopes" by George Grie. I found it on Fantasy Art Design.

 

Huge Golf Balls on Wallpaper Tuesday

image

No, they aren't really golf balls. I was feeling a little nostalgic today, so I started looking around for some pictures of some of my favorite places. I ran across this picture, which is of Pyramid Rock beach in Kaneohe, it's on the Marine Corps base, and you can see a couple of the radar balls in the back ground.
