It sure has been quiet around here.  One of these days, I’ll get around to writing a post about the new house, but until then, enjoy this:

Distracting Trumpet

Filed in Humor, Music, Video on April 27, 2009 at 11:49 pm

If you’re a fan of classic mafia themed films, you probably remember sitting through several instances of the almost stereotypical abstract trumpet solos which either distracted you from the dialogue or at least left you wondering, “Where have they stashed the trumpeter this time?”

It’s Earth Day again!  If you haven’t been saving the environment for free, today is the perfect day to start.  It’s also the perfect day to plant trees and donate to a few worthy charities, like The Nature Conservancy and The Conservation Fund.

Want to do more to save the environment?  This list of fifty ways to help the planet should offer plenty of inspiration.

Star Trek’s Return

Filed in Nostalgia, Video on March 12, 2009 at 1:51 am

I just saw the new trailer for this year’s Star Trek.  I have to say that this will certainly rival Watchmen as my favorite movie of 2009 (so far).  I was never a big Star Trek fan (excluding Voyager, of which I have seen almost every episode), but the alleged premise of this film is very interesting.  It sounds like Nero, a Romulan from the future, somehow travels back in time and either purposefully or accidentally causes the death of the legendary Captain James T. Kirk’s father, which causes Kirk to grow up as a far more immature and reckless individual, and therefore establishes a timeline that is fundamentally different than what we have know of the Star Trek universe.  All I can say is, I’m really looking forward to this.

Filed in Freeware, Technology on March 1, 2009 at 12:06 am

The following Favored Freeware applications have been updated since the beginning of February 2009:

I would like to say a brief “thank you” to those of you who have been following these monthly favored freeware update posts. Many things have changed on this blog in the last year, and not all of them were for the best. I will be no longer be posting the monthly favored freeware updates, in hopes that I can find the desire to fill this blog with more relevant and less repetitive content.

Many applications and widgets now come with their own automatic update systems, and you can keep track of the rest with two of my favorite free widgets, App Update and Widget Update. If you’d rather continue to track the latest versions of your favorite applications online, I Use This is a relatively new startup that’s already making some big waves in the online application-tracking industry.
