Cute Babies
The piece on CBS Sunday Morning about how everyone tells people their baby is cute had me cracking up, because I used to work with a guy who was so much of a curmudgeon that he would tell people ‘That is the ugliest dog I have ever seen” if they ever dared to show him pictures of their baby.
At any rate, consider this your open thread.
Holy Loads of Thunderstorms, Batman
If you are to the east of West Virginia, brace yourself.
I have not seen lightning nor heard thunder like this in years.
Another Beg for Help
And now, for no reason whatsoever, I have no sound.
The devices are enabled, everything is plugged in, nothing is muted, the speakers are on and running, yet I have no sound unless I plug in earphones. I have done nothing different.
Another Question
I hate the new bookmarks feature that Firefox 3.01 has- any suggestions on a plugin?
Also, how do I stop my computer from going into powersaving mode and prompting me for a pssword every 30 mins?
Finally, the computer came with goodle desktop or something spamming the entire right side of the computer. Is there anything worthwhile there, or should I uninstall it?
And before I head off to dinner, a quick screenshot:
I initially misread the last word in the title of that Mike Memoli post.

Via Glenn, Susie Madrak is having some temporary financial troubles, so if you have a few bucks to spare, go help her out, please. You can donate here.
Also, it is the end of the month, so now would be a good time to chuck some cash to Obama, who will need it to fight the never-ending smears.
If you can spare the money, that would be great.

I am actually getting used to Windows Vista, and I have to tell you, other than when I install programs, this thing is just blazing fast and really quite simple to use. I am not sure how much of my appreciation of this is due to the fact that for the past six months to a year I have been dealing with near constant BSOD’s on my old desktop, so anything is a step in the right direction, but so far it seems fast, easy to use, and programs for work which took a lot of time to load and were jerky on the old computer are running really well. I guess the real test will be SPSS and Photoshop.
I also went out and bought a new sound card and some Harman Kardon Soundsticks, and music sounds great (Have I pimped Pandora lately?).
At any rate, here is an open thread for you all, and we have not had this up for a while so look at how much we have raised this year:
I will be back later.
