Rise Against With A Day To Remember

Jess and I saw Rise Against Monday night at the Mid Hudson Civic Center. We had a great time there and found some friends too.

Thanks for the beer and tickets babe!

Yeah, Yeah I know the pictures suck, what do you expect after all the beer?

NY Rangers vs Winnipeg Jets

Tuesday Jess and I headed down to the city for the Rangers versus Jets game at MSG. Just a little something we did for her birthday Monday.

I broke in my new Jagr Rangers jersey that I promised I would wear as long as they weren’t playing Pittsburgh. As we figured the Rangers beat Winnipeg 3-0. Shockingly Winnipeg isn’t that bad this season for the fact that they threw themselves together and pretty much got rid of anything to do with the Thrashers at the start of the season.

Check Out This Video…NOW!

Watch the video below and pass it around. My buddy Allan on the right there. Shit’s gone viral. They made it on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

Here’s the inverview video.

Army vs. Air Force Hockey Game

Last night Jess and I went over to West Point to see the Army vs. Air Force hockey game. This game was more exciting than the last one we went to. Score was 3-3. We got to see another tie!

I checked the rankings and Army is now 1-11-5 so I guess we are lucky that we saw 2 out of a whopping 7 points they have.

USA, Don’t Be Like China

I urge everyone to at least click the link below and fill it out. Hopefully it will help. Censorship is stupid in general, on all levels. I’m not even going to get into a conversation about how useless the FCC is because it will end up worse than my jury duty rants.

Just fill it out. I don’t care if you don’t understand just do it.

WTF UPS

Tell me how this makes any fucking sense. My package was OUT FOR DELIVERY on Friday the 13th  from the Poughkeepsie UPS facility. This place is 1.5 miles from my house, if that. Never received the package Friday so I check the site. Why is my package DEPARTING Illinois on Monday the 16th with no arrival date in between? How is that even cost effective?

I mean come on UPS, that doesn’t even make sense. Did the driver get pissed off and say “fuck this job” and drive out to Illinois then felt bad and dropped the truck off out there?

Giving Linux Another Shot

I decided that I’m giving Linux another shot. It’s come along away over the years since I last used it at school. It’s much easier to use now and pretty much fully integrates with all hardware we use today.

I just got tired of how slow Windows was getting even though I wasn’t even running anything. I have eight month old hardware, no reason why I should see a performance degradation already.

So I’ve chosen and installed Ubuntu on my desktop at home. 90% of what I do is look at crap online and pay bills anyway, could do that from any platform really.

Just in case I really need something from Microsoft I saved my current state in an image and loaded it up into a virtual machine using Oracle’s Virtualbox.

If you’re handy enough with computers give it a shot. You can load it on your Windows pc and dual-boot it. Even that they made much, much easier than before.

And in case you were wondering, yes I was very, very bored one day.

Joe 1 Captain 0

Well since a certain cat likes to escape the room by climbing my TV and breaking through my barrier, I spent most of my night tonight moving my TV stand away from the cubby and building a door so she really can’t get out.

So take that houdini cat, I figured out your move little furball. Try and get out of this now!
