Question about Vista within Organizations
So, knowing some people complain about Vista...which I personally have had no issues with Vista...and knowing that Microsoft has Windows 7 due out in 2010...is there people considering to skip vista? If that is the case, do you think the communities will pressure Windows 7 to come out in 2009? What is the main reason for not going to Vista? Is it because of the memory requirements? Now, for the ones...

To start off with, I took off on Wednesday and boy was that fun. I have not had a day that I just did nothing but the basics at home in a very long time.

Crew doesn't show up for a Flight. How can that be!!!
How can an airline company NOT have a crew show up for a flight? I was traveling home from Ripon, Wisconsin and flew out of MKE to Nashville, with connection through Detriot. The first flight went great...757 from MKE to Detriot. I exited the plane and looked at the board to check my departure gate and saw Nashville - On time - A49. So I walked from A70 to A49 and when I got there it said...CANCELED...
Westinghouse LVM-42W2
I bought this tv for use at the myITforum.com booth at MMS 2007. That is way anyone who was playing the Wii was told to use the teather strap. The TV rocks!! However, a few minor things I want to point out. The remote pretty much stinks. However, my Sony remote setup for a Sony TV controls all the functions of the remote just nicely. It is a HDTV, so Standard non-HD tv doesn't look as good on this...
Remembering Alex
One of the hardest things I had to do as a youth minister is to talk to the youth group after one of our members passed away in a car wreck over the past weekend when his truck hydroplanned off the road and he was thrown from the truck. Alex was an AWESOME kid and will be deeply missed. Alex is survived by his younger brother Lewis, his parents Joey and Gwen. Alex just turned 17.
