It's wonderful when it works....

Technology...my friend..my foe. I have this love/hate relationship with technology. Most of the time it's my friend. Lately though it's been giving me some problems. My laptop has been shutting down. At first I thought it was because I only had 3 gig free left on the hard drive. So I moved all my media to my USB Drive, uninstalled some game that I don't play anymore along with several messenger programs now that I use Meebo. Same thing...would shut down. The first time it was very hot in the house and the laptop was very warm, ok hot. So shut it down for a while to cool off and see if that was the problem. Nope...so I did defrag about 3 times. So now I have more then 70% of the drive free, it's all in order and it is still overheating and shutting down. I'm afraid that it's on it's last leg. Too bad because it's been a wonderful laptop.

During all of this I had to move my iPod "connection" from my laptop to my desktop. Fun...I lost some podcasts but that's ok. I wasn't really that into them anyway. Now I just have to get all six Star Wars movies back onto my iPod

    I use way to many window support products to make that kind of investment into OsX

BSG Comes to an end?!

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
