Swedish Software Firm Buys Filesharing Site Pirate... →
Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Any pirate site/service that gets too big or too successful has to sell out or shut down. It doesn’t matter, though. Every time one dies ten more spring up to take its place. Remember how people freaked out when Suprnova died?

The actor we know best as Zack Morris likes Centennial IPA so much that he used it as a prop in his show…free of charge.

VirtualBox 3.0 Beta Adds Gaming-Level Graphics →
Sweet. Now I won’t have to boot into Windows to play my old PC games. Too bad I just installed Simcity 4 on Windows 7 last night.

Windows 7 Creates New Folders With a Hotkey →
Ctrl+Shift+N=New Folder.
FINALLY! Call me a geek if you want, but I’m excited about this. If you’re stuck on Windows, stuff like this is why the Windows 7 upgrade will be worth it (as opposed to Vista, which featured eyecandy and slower performance as its main selling points).

CSS with variables. I have been wanting this since the first time I wrote a stylesheet.

New cool list of Linux must-have programs →
It’s all good, and it’s all free (some are available for Windows, too).
ABC Turns Programming over to Obama; News to be... →
When Ahmadinejad shuts out dissenting opinions, it’s oppressive censorship. When Obama does it, it’s still oppressive censorship. So much for transparency and change.

Why Windows is not yet ready for the Desktop →
Seriously, have you ever seen a non-geek user try to actually operate it? It’s no wonder people think they hate computers. What they actually hate is Windows.
Cabrera sure was flashing the leather tonight…maybe he should fly back to DET and take the goal for the 3rd period?

All are great…but one is fake. Can you figure out which one it is without reading the comments?
Porcello gets his first big-league hit in his first AB. I love interleague play.

Sad, but the best example of Morissettian Irony I’ve ever seen.

House passes 'clunkers' plan to boost car sales →
Wow…the US Government still thinks we’ll be able to spend our way out of this recession. Apparently the cure for not having enough money is to borrow more money and then spend that, too.
Fernando, Fernando, Fernando. Can we have Todd Jones back?
Phew! Good thing Lyon brought his good stuff for the 10th. If he pitched that well more often, he’d be a hero instead of a scapegoat.
Turning up a new MPLS circuit…even more late-afternoon WAN fun!

Brewing Summer Ale! Too bad it won’t be ready ‘til nearly autumn…
Ate a couple of Pronto Pups for lunch, then climbed Mt. Pisgah for penance.
RT @wilw Things TV taught me: In this economy, it’s really important that we keep saying, “In this economy.”

Set the post for my new hop farm tonight…tomorrow my vines will be growing UP, not sideways.
Stayed up too late watching Conan, but at least the new Pearl Jam song was worth it. It was a straight-up rocker.
Waiting for Conan…
Monday. Almost over.
