I have been using Windows Vista for a few weeks now and I really like it’s look and feel. My favorite feature is the new Windows Photo Gallery. It makes tagging and organizing my photo’s a breeze. I used to use Adobe Photoshop Elements 4, but I really don’t need it’s organizational features any more. Microsoft finally got something right!

The Bridge to Terabithia
I saw The Bridge to Terabithia the other day. It is nothing like the preview trailer! I actually cried! The trailer makes you think you are going to see a fantasy movie with a lot of CGI effects. The movie is nothing like that. Yes, there are some scenes in a fantasy world, but most of the story takes place in the present day. It is a great movie, but definitely not for young children.
Tim Hardaway is Loser of the Week
“You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don’t like gay people and I don’t like to be around gay people, I’m homophobic. I don’t like it. It shouldn’t be in the world or in the United States.’’ Tim Hardaway

It’s A Small World After All
This morning a message was left on my answering machine… “Hi, this is Nick Theodorou, I haven’t talked to you in 29 years, I tracked you down. I hope I got the right person”. Wow! This was a blast from my past I thought, as I listened to the message. Nick and I were friends in junior high and early high school. He was a happy, go lucky kid and we had a lot of fun when we were young. I called him later today to see how he was doing. It was really weird talking to a person you haven’t spoken with in almost 30 years. He is married, has a bunch of kids in college, was drafted into the army in Greece, and he has owned several businesses. I feel so old from when we used to play with his electric racing car set and watch Speed Racer in the afternoon at his childhood home. He said he found me by googling his name and found an entry I wrote about him on this blog! It really is a small world.

Our Walt Disney World Photos
I finally uploaded our Disneyworld Photos to Flickr. We had a great time with our friends, Bill and Andy. I can’t wait to return to that magical place! I hope to be thinner in the next batch of pictures!
Where Is The Katharine McPhee We Love?
I had been looking forward to Katharine McPhee’s album for months now. On American Idol her voice gave me goose bumps! She has a wonderful, tender voice, and it is coupled with a real talent for touching your heart. That Katharine, is no where to be found on her debut album. With the exception of just one song, Ordinary World, the rest of the album sounds like all of the overmixed, emotionless, beat driven music that comes out of the industry today. We love Katharine McPhee for her voice and personality. Sadly, they are no where to be found. However, Ordinary World… Goose Bumps!
We Are Back!
I think that this is the longest I have ever gone without writing in the blog in a long time! We got back home from Florida and I decided to completely change my computers and how I use them! Firstly, I decided to switch to a Mac Mini for my emails and web browsing. It has taken me a week to get everything the way I like it. I also installed Windows Vista on my main PC. What can I say? It really is a nice upgrade from Windows XP. My only gripe is that one of the main programs I use for video editing, Pinnacle Studio 10 is not going to be upgraded to Vista until March. I am gonna have to use iMovie on the Mac till then. I also took the time to upgrade my servers with bigger hard drives. I have quite a home network set up here now. You would think that I had a major business! Maybe one day!
Since we got back from Florida I have been suffering with an awful sinus infection and a bad back. This is the longest that I have ever had back trouble. I talked to my Mom’s therapist and she told me that my symptoms suggest a slipped disc! Great! I am doing conservative treatment to see if I can get myself back in shape before visiting the doctor. Time will tell.
We had a great time in Florida with our friends BIll and Andy. Poor Billy got the stomach virus while we were there so he stayed home a few days. It was great fun and wonderful to see those guys on this trip. They are true and wonderful friends.
Well that is all for now..to quote Dr Smith about his back…”Oh the pain, the pain”!
