Spring in Atlanta

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Love the cool weather, low humdity and occasional thunderstorm. Hate the constant congestion, head colds and body aches from the non-stop barrage of pollen. It covers everything and makes your life miserable.

The Movie List

Friday, April 17th, 2009

I don’t get a chance to catch many movies during their general release so I rely on services like iN Demand via my cable provider to keep me caught up. Problem is, not every movie makes it into any single service so I’ve been thinking about picking up a second service like Netflix. My brother actually canceled his cable and relies on Netflix exclusively – via direct download to his Xbox or through their DVD snail-mail service. Makes sense if you don’t watch a lot of regular TV considering the basic Netflix service runs $8.99/month vs. $75+/month for basic cable. Heck most regular TV shows are streaming online now anyway – Hulu.com being one of the best.

Anyway, here’s an ongoing list of movies I’m waiting on:

  • Observe & Report
  • BSG: The Plan
  • Iron Man 2
  • Clash of the Titans (2010)
  • Zombieland

Photo Gallery Update

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

I finally had a chance to import the last of Madeline’s pictures over from the Gallery2 mod I was previously using to manage my photo albums. Due to the sheer volume of shots we take, I’m going to break up her photos by year. 2008 is up and complete, 2009 has some starter shots.

Conficker Hype

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

conficker_wantedI can’t speak for anyone else’s network but all the hype concerning Conficker turned out to be … rather disappointing. No zombie PCs run amok unfortunately. Just another normal April 1st for this IT guy.
