TSS

The new Screen Savers sucks.

Yankee or Dixie?

68% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score! I don't agree. I was born in Illinois. But I have lived in Arkansas and Louisiana. I'm in Texas now. Take the quiz here.

WinPlosion

WiinPlosion - Exploded view of your open Windows. It is almost like Apple's Exposé.

The New TSS

This is terrible. The new host for The Screen Savers is Kevin Pereira, and Chi-Lan Lieu. Kevin Rose was given a choice either host the new show, or create content. He decided to go back to what he loves, which is create content. Sarah Lane will remain
where she is. The new TSS will kick off on Monday 29th. I just don't know if I am happy about this.

Grouper Beta 1.0

It's a peer-to-peer app. But not the kind you're thinking of. Grouper isn't like Kazaa or Morpheus, a way of sharing files (often illegal versions of copyrighted material) with millions of strangers across the Internet. [PC Magazine]

Crash

Yesterday there was a bad wreck in the church parking lot next to my house. I did not see it because I was asleep. What happen was a truck lost control flipped over and skidded across the church parking lot. I wish I could have seen it. No word on if the person is ok or not.

Go Vote

I just got back from voting. I had no problems and did not wait in line long. My county is still using optical scan ballots. I wish they where using the touch screen ballots. Well until tonight.
