Party Like It's 1969

This morning I came in to a powered down computer. Typically I come in and this guy says "Where ya been? Let's do this work thing" cause I have left it on to do some rendering, downloading, compressing, capturing or any combination thereof. So the question would then be "Why, oh Josh, did you power down yesterday? Well you see, inquisitive reader, there was a scheduled power outage (for repairs I assume) yesterday about the time I was leaving so I saved, quit, powered down and left.

Fast forward to the present. I power on my computer and get this warning dialog:



"That's weird" I thought, "Perhaps someone has finally written a virus for the Mac OS warranting I start being careful what I do online...damn." "Wait! The outage, yeah that is more probable." So I go to my Date/Time Prefs to change it back to today. I thought it was actually set to the date the warning dialog told me, or at least close to 2001. But I was wrong, and it made me laugh...and apparently blog about it.



All seems well, no viruses...yet. I'm really dreding that day. I really like the no frills - no worries part of the internet that Mac gives me.

Halo Weapons For Sale!

Hole. Lee. Crap!


Now, I've never played laser tag, but if I had it would have been with this weapon set! Riley and I WILL be playing Halo laser tag in the distant future, I am sure of it!

Personal AntiSpam

I've been using this service for a few months now and it's working awesomely.
It comes with a little piece of software that tracks how much spam it's caught, when it came, etc. Pretty good stuff.

This is a screenshot of what my inbox looked like after Christmas break. SO glad I don't have to search through that spam manually!

They have a free trial which I did prior to purchasing it. So, check it out if you're in need.

Canon PowerShot A650 IS

Ok, this time we're serious! We dropped a good chunk of cash to get this camera and I'm glad we did. With Christmas coming up, a new baby on the way and not to mention Riley progressing as fast as he's been lately we needed a good camera to keep up with us and give us some really nice clear beautiful...memories!

Our past two camera's hadn't even been with us a year when they quit for one reason or another. (I drowned the last one in the ocean) But this time we purchased the extended service plan so no matter what happens to this investment we're covered. And it feels good! I'm sure I'll post some pics here in the future. For reference I'm posting the c|net review on the new Canon. Yeeha!
