As the inscrutable Microsoft ads go on, the latest ones the “I’m a PC and I’m not alone” also known as Life Without Walls seem to have struck a chord with the Mac fanboys.
OsX vs. Ubuntu vs. Vista
WHERE AL TRIES REALLY, REALLY HARD TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND AND LIKE A MAC.
Well, it’s been a few weeks since I finished building the 3-in-one Intel Atom PC. If you remember, I put three operating systems on it in tri-boot setup, Windows XP Pro SP3, Ubuntu Linux 7.01 and Mac OsX 10.5.
Now that I’ve had time to play around with them a bit, I’ll give my impression of the OS’s.
Last of the Canal Concerts: How was it?
Well, seven out of eight wasn’t bad. I couldn’t go to the last of the Lockport Molson Canal Concerts for the year. I had to stay home and take care of my wife, who has just gotten out of the hospital.
My son was at work and my daughter was working at the concert with the Youth & Recreation group. So I had to keep my wife company.
If I had to miss one show, I suppose this was the one for me. I’m not a huge fan of Jeff Martin, or The Tea Party, although everyone in this area who listens to Canadian radio – as most Buffalo FM radio stations suck – has heard of them.

The weather Gods relented and the rain blew by leaving the Ulrich City Center cool and clean as the sun poked through the clouds. Only a short delay of about a half hour as tarps were removed from the stage and the sixth Canal Concert of 2008 was off.
The number of concert goers was up from all previous weeks, at least judging by the early turn-out. When Mo Porter Band took the stage, they had a sizeable crowd ready for their show. And the crowd was ready for the Buffalo band’s bluesy rock sound. They played a number of original, well written songs. I hadn’t seen them play before, but I was impressed and hope to see thm play again. They have a CD which was available at the show, but I didn’t see any ordering information on their website, so you’ll have to get to a show if you want one. Continue Reading…
