This is funny stuff people. Grab a chair and get ready to laugh, then rush to your computer to tweet it up!!!

All the proof.

Also running iLife09; iMovie, GarageBand, iPhoto… as well as Photoshop CS4/Bridge, Nikon Capture 2.5, QuickTime Pro, and the coup is that my video cam works with PhotoBooth.

Come on Apple, beat that!!!!

iTunes 8.1.1 on a MSI Wind hackintosh and playing another iTunes library while streaming the audio over an air tunes base station in another room. All of this on OSX 10.5.4

Here the Viva scooter and I sit with good friend Gary and his Honda Silverwing. Many more days of riding in 2009 to come.

I loved how the commentator said that this might be out of protocol for even the white house… ha ha ha.

Come on everyone, show some love!

The Beaver’s keep marching on. As the only team from Minnesota left in the NCAA hockey playoffs, they pulled upset number 2 when they defeated Cornell 4-1.

They are for real and are making quite a bit of noise as they try to gain entrance into Div. 1 hockey.

Hey, how about that? My all ma mater did the unthinkable and defeated the number one team in the nation in the NCAA hockey Midwest regionals.

Congrats Beavers… Cornell is next

I have been following the “netbook” craze for a while now and think I am almost ready to jump in. My mobile needs fit very well what these computers were made to do; surf, facebook, twitter, watch movies or play music… oh, and work in Photoshop!

That’s right, with 2gigs of ram and a 160gb HD, these little machines have more than enough horsepower to handle high end applications. Now, I’ll admit I am not going to do the major color work or corrections on this type of machine, but for me, I need a laptop that will connect to my Nikon D3 and using Bridge, give me a larger preview to show clients for approval during a shoot than the small 3″ screen on the back of the camera.

In all my research, the build/keyboard/size/design of the HP Mini 2140 seems to be a winner. All that I need until I get back to the office and download to the main machine is there. And for around $450.00 is almost half of what a refurbished MacBook would be.

Now, as a Mac OSX guy, this sort of adds to the confusion since these netbooks all run either Linux, Windows XP or Vista. But, rest assured, others have also had this question and solved it… Hackintosh!

Yes, there is a whole community of users of these netbooks that have cracked them open and installed full, working copies, of OSX and love it. How about a dual boot netbook for under $500.00… sign me up.

I hope to pull the trigger on this unit in the next few months. I will post what I find as the best working solution for me and let you all know.

Ok, I don’t know what is up over at Facebook land, but all day I have had this issue.  I log in, like DUH, and try to go about my business.  My little icon and green circle show I am ON, then I click around and poof, “Your session has timed out, please login.”

Oh really, it has has it?  Then why the hell does it say my name and Logout at the top of the browser window… IT still thinks I am who I am and logged in, so why doesn’t little mister green circle in the bottom right?

Sure enough, if I click anywhere else, there is the beautiful login screen on Facebook.

This has gone on all day long.  And for those physics majors who are just waiting to say, “hey, restart or try a different browser”  save your breath… done it, been there.

I guess the lesson here is that when a site grows by a million users a week and still can’t make a penny, some things must slip through the cracks… LIKE STABILITY.

There, rant over, I feel sooooo much better.

The bright side to all of this, cuz there has to be one right all you feel gooders out there, is that for one full day no one was able to Super Poke me, Send me a pineapple or any of the hundred, nay thousands, of mindless things that Facebook offers up to its user base.

Lucky me!
