My main desktop lost its internet connection tonight. After much trouble shooting, I had pin pointed it down to something to do with the latest Windows update. Luckily, System Restore brought me back to just before the latest update… Then I found this:

Actually, I’ve surprisingly not had any family IT calls yet…

I had a pretty fun weekend, even though Kathleen went to Albany for Mothers’ Day. I played a TON of GTA IV. I helped Brian and Leah move into their new place in Decatur. Played a ton more GTA. And then went down to Newnan for dinner at my brother and Brooke’s with my parents and Kathleen on Sunday.
Oh… and on Friday, my new phone came. So I’m not in the dark ages anymore…

Google released Google Sky today. You can now Google the universe.
Here are some good spots:
Andromeda
Don’t know 1
Don’t know 2
Crab Nebula
It’s not quite as cool as the program Celestia, but it’s still pretty cool.
