Return to the Moon with NASA

Discovery's space blog recently shared a cool opportunity to return to the Moon with NASA...kinda. I am using it as a virtual family vacation and signed up everyone! ;->  Seriously, though, participating feels a bit like being on the ET end of Contact, which is pretty darn cool.

Vista Part Deux: "I'm Back, SUSE!"

I'll explain more at some point; and .NET and other Microsoft technologies still impress me; but for daily all-around use – mostly tabbed browsing, office apps, the usual – I've finally said, "Hasta la vista, Vista.  Ixnay XP."

I loved SUSE 6/7, and my experience with openSUSE 10/11 and Windows relegated to a VM has been great so far.

The last year and a half since I purchased Vista – then a copy of XP Pro to "downgrade" – have dumbfoundingly been the worst in my 20+ years of personal computing – without a hint of exaggeration. (Ironically, I never had such a screamer machine the rest of the time!)

Sorry, but it's the truth.  Lord knows I would love to say otherwise.  Tech nostalgia and zealotry just aren't me as much as simply calling what I see. 🤷‍♂️

Happy Birthday, Captain Kirk!

I stopped by IMDB today...just in time to notice that it's William Shatner's 77th birthday. While Star Trek isn't really my thing,... (...more a Next Generation guy, you know?) ;-) ...happy birthday, Captain Kirk!

A Guaranteed Lesson in Customer Service

If you want a guaranteed lesson in customer service – and you're in the market for a subwoofer (beyond any you've probably experienced or imagined), I highly recommend that you contact HSU Research in Anaheim, California. Buying a HSU sub (a VTF-3 HO) was an incredible experience – way beyond my expectations. Pete, Dr. Hsu, and – last but not least – Cuddles, thanks for everything!

Then there's the sub itself!!! :-D ...more to come soon. ;-)
