Resemblence? Ayeeeeeeee!

Viva La Vista!

This morning I successfully installed Microsoft's latest operating system, Vista Ultimate. No not the beta versions nor one of the Release Candidates, but the final Release to Manufacturer (RTM) cut. This cut actually allows me to span my desktop across my two LCD monitors using my nVidia 7900 GT, a feat that could not be accomplished in any other version combined with nVidia drivers.

The install took a bit longer than I expected, about two days in the making. This was not due to the Vista installer itself, but what I had to do to prepare my drives to accept the new image. I had been dual booting XP and RC1 across two spindles. When I tried to image, to another hard drive, my Windows XP partition, I ran into boot loader hell. After multiple attempts of imaging and re-imaging, I resorted to using VistaBoot Pro, which ended up corrupting the BCD (boot configuration data.) Thinking that I would have to image this new drive once again, I took one last stab at running fixmbr and fixboot from the Windows XP Recovery Console and voila, it worked! Now I am up and running on the new 160GB drive I had laying around that is dual-booting Vista and XP. I plan from this point forward to utilize Vista as my primary O/S, only resorting to XP for legacy reach back.

I also installed the new Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate and to my surprise, it asked only for my email account and password, it did the rest. It successfully set up all three of my Gmail accounts, which require SSL access, without any of the usual pop.gmail.com or smtp.gmail.com configurations. I will continue to work through the new Office suite and give my second impressions at a later date.

Why wait for December 22nd?

This site, for the sake of world peace, is asking everyone to orgasm in unity on December 22nd. Now, even though I don't believe it is possible to achieve world peace without a greater power, I am going to try to help out Donna Sheehan and Paul Reffell over there. I only have one complaint. Why isolate this effort to only one day? Why not everyday? If millions of people, who orgasm in unity, could change the face of the earth as we know it for one day, then why not orgasm every day? Think of all the things we could accomplish if everyone in the world who is capable, would orgasm every day? I would support such an effort; just for a matter of fact, I will go discuss this over with my wife to see if we can make a difference in this world.

The Forgotten Christian Holiday

As we open this holiday season we tend to forget the true meaning of the season. Usually we associate this cliche with Christmas, but I wanted to write on what I would call the Forgotten Christian Holiday. Thanksgiving has been long celebrated as the time that we give thanks for all that we have. Originally it was for a plentiful harvest, but these days we associate it more with our family, our health, and our jobs among other things. But who or what are we giving thanks to? Of course the answer is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. The Pilgrims were always known to have raised their hands to thank God for their life in the new world, but as the excerpt to the left tells us, President George Washington and even more surprisingly, the U.S. Legislature, mandated a day of thanks and prayer in which we would look to the "Lord and Ruler of all Nations" forgiveness of our transgressions and wisdom to "develop a Constitutions of government." It was our government that said, "WHEREAS it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favour." Let us remember this day and follow our forefathers wisdom, giving thanks to he is who is on High for our families, our freedoms, and in everything that we know only Jesus Christ is able to provide.

Seein Red

I am a little late on this, but I have to post a couple of told you so's:

First, I said Michigan would never have the lead; I was counting on Michigan to win the toss and defer, but once Ohio State took the lead, they never looked back.

Second, I said that Michigan would get caught finally on a "helmet-to-helmet" hit. The got away with one of these during the Penn State game on Anthony Morelli and again on Drew Tate in the Iowa State game. I have watched three Michigan games this year and they finally got caught doing there dirty deeds. Hey Ron, how about teaching your boys how to tackle clean this Spring.

Third I said, these are the two best teams in the nation and even thought I don't necessarily want to see a rematch, I do want to see the two best teams in the BCS Championship. Well looks like the BCS rankings have my back on this one too.

Game Facts:
The Michigan defense was ranked No 1 against the run but gave up 187 yards rushing including two 50+ yard runs for touchdowns. They were also ranked No. 4 total defense, but gave up 503 total yards in Columbus.

Troy Smith threw touchdowns to four different receivers including Ted Ginn who Michigan should have been all over like flies on a turd. He did have a pick and a couple of charged fumbles, but what are you gonna do when your center has a cast on this snapping hand.

So I will say, way to go Buckeyes; you have shown the world why you have been ranked No. 1 all season long. Let's see if we can find you a formidable opponent for the BCS title game. And for you Michigan fans, a song dedicated to you as you are still dazed from Seein' Red.
