Today I am 31. Yay! #

Good morning everyone. I am at the cottage and managed to get an EVDO connection. #

I still think that Bill Gates has been the single most influential person in the computer market for the last 30 years. Without him things would have happened in a very different way. We would still have many of the technologies that we have today but there would be so many different standards that the [...]

OMG – I can’t breathe. My Xbox 360 has the red light. I called them on Monday, still no box here at my house :( #

I am sooo freekin’ tired that I can’t come up with something better to write about. It is consuming me, so… that’s the topic of the night. I wonder how some people get on with a good sleep even when their lives are so busy. Sometimes it feels like the more tired I get the [...]
