Cubs keep on winning ...

As of right now the Cubs have the best record in all of baseball. They just finished a sweep of the Dodgers, and took the first game from the Rockies. Hopefully they can keep playing well like they have. There is still a lot of baseball left.

Not much else to report.

Roku player and memorial day

I had a good time over memorial day. I golfed a couple of times, but did really bad.

When I got back I received my Roku nexflix player. It was easy to set up, and the quality was just fine.

Tornadoes, Snow, and posting in the dark ...

Well today was adventurous. This afternoon we had a few tornadoes touch down in Laramie. Then later in the evening we got about an inch of really wet snow. And now I am tying this message on battery power as I have no electricity. I love being able to go online without power. I have a good battery that gives me 30 to 45 minutes of computer time.

Lets see what tomorrow will bring.

Netflix Player ...

I have been using Netflix for a few months, and have really liked it. Today I learned that they are offering a $100.00 box that you connect to your TV and use to watch any of the streaming content available from Netflix. Detail here.

This is perfect for me because even though netflix lets you stream to your computer, you have to be running windows to do it and I run Linux. I don't have to worry about that anymore. I also get to watch the movies on my TV instead of my computer monitor.

I think I will order one of these devices soon.

More snow in May

We've had a cold spring, and this morning when I awoke there was over 2 inches of snow on my car. It was a nice wet snow, and we can use the moisture. I am still waiting for spring to arrive...

Here are some pics of the snow.

Lollapalooza 2008

So I was browsing around reading about music items, and I noticed that rage against the machine is scheduled to play at lollapalooza along with radiohead and many others; good bands too. It takes place in grant park in Chicago ... hmmm August 1-3 Very interesting I will be in Chicago for cubs baseball on the 4th and 5th of august... I think I may have to come in a few days early and enjoy the show! I think I will finalize my chicago trip to include a huge concert, and cubs baseball.

Tickets are a bit pricy now - $190.00 for the three days, so I'm still contemplating that.

some of the bands:
Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Wilco, Kanye West, The Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley, The Black Keys, Broken Social Scene, G. Love & Special Sauce, Blues Travelers, Mates of State, Bloc Party, Cat Power, Stephen Malkmus, Girl Talk, Kid Sister, Office, The Cool Kids, Battles, The Go! Team, Jamie Lidell and Grizzly Bear.
