Most of you know that Steam is now available and run on the Mac OS and the rumor is that it will be running on Linux soon as well. They also have the source based games ( half-life 2, Team Fortress 2 to name a few) are now also running on the Peterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07747824349196183052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504259.post-51230265091889466912010-06-08T20:00:00.000-07:002010-06-08T20:17:45.721-07:00Hello again all. you know I've had this blog for quite a while now and when I first started it I was just looking for a place to through some random thought out there, cast my thoughts and ideas into the great cyber ocean and let them drift through cyberspace.

While looking at a nice 250 tank touring scoot The Tank touring 250DE my mind drifted back to the days I had my old reliable Honda 250 Elite scooter.

I think it is a choice they have made to build them like that and that’s a shame too. I know there are some specialty notebook makers out there that offer some kind up upgradeability for their notebooks graphics’ but I think all notebooks should be upgradeable.

The other day I was asked if I knew the phone number to a certain business; which I didn’t so I looked it up; now did I open up the phone book and start searching though the pages? No. I opened up my Firefox browser and did a Google search for it.

I asked him if it had a decent range on a charge and he said it was great he could go on his regular bike ride and never have to pedal.

Today is the day I replaced my anti virus program from my long time favorite Avg anti virus . It was like having to say goodbye to an old friend. Why did I replace something that has proven itself to be dependable and reliable after all these years? It is because the latest version Version 8. Just isnt up to AVG's usual high standards.

I feel it is a resource that is far far underused. Think about this; if the roof of every house, apartment, and business was covered in solar panels I think it could change the world.

Is it because I have a fancy expensive bike? No, actually it has a few problems; not the least of which I only have about 4 gears that it will actually stay in, the front reflector tends to flop from side to side depending on which way the bike leans, and the back brake won't stop you at anything above walking pace, but you know what?

Mine was pretty good. Our new apartment doesnt have the premium view of the fireworks that our old one had and I just didnt have any desire to fight traffic for an hour just to get home. so this year with my son on my shoulders I stood in the parking lot and we could see the tops of the fireworks display, and you know that was ok.

If you have read this for awhile or read the archieves you know I have a Autistic son. He is a beautiful happy healthy 3 year old boy. I love my son. He means the world to me. Since he's been diagnosed as being autistic I have heard a lot of negative statements such as he will probably never show much affection and he wont be able to communicate with you, and we were even told hePeterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07747824349196183052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504259.post-787838032002-07-10T10:32:00.000-07:002008-09-04T20:54:47.747-07:00Hey all its me again :-) of course who else would it be it's MY blog :-) Well its going to be another hot one today it was 113 yesterday and it is suppose to be hotter today.

Do any of you out there play any of the online fps ( first person shooter) style of games? I know I do and I LOVE the Half-life games and thier mods; particularly Team fortress.

You know what Windows needs... a BOLD key. We have keys for caps,insert,delete,paging up and down and many other things so why not a key for when you want to quickly write something in bold print? Mabey I shouldn't say anything... the way things work we'll end up with a multi-purpose key that requires a multi key press to get the BOLD print effect.

Well my son enjoyed the park and we walked around and he played into the dirt. I personally think all kids regardless of who they are or where they come from love to play into the dirt :-) . Came home and was looking forward to watching Call For Help on Tech TV and it was a rerun (Bummer) same with The Screen Savers.
