Outlook gets confused

Still not sure what happened to my system this morning but when I sat down at my computer I noticed that Outlook has last updated around 1am with the Exchange server. Ok, this is nothing new, it happens now and then and simply restarting Outlook fixes the issue quickly enough, but not this time. I [...]

New Microsoft Ad – #2

The 2nd new Microsoft ad featuring Bill Gates & Jerry Seinfeld is out now. I have to say the first one made me laugh a little even though it was bit odd….this one on the other hand was just plain weird.

The Cone of Uncertainty

While I still think “The Cone of Uncertainty” should be made into a ride at Disney (think Tower of Terror where you never know what’s going to happen!) there’s times I think Florida is just being used as target practice for the hurricanes. Gustav just passed us by and now Hanna is aimed right at [...]
