Hockey is back, my team tanks!
I'm a casual Hockey fan, not nearly as addicted as Robert, but I love to watch. I root for the Colorado Avalanche, no real reason; I just started rooting for them. Looking at the scores across the score boards, the teams are a little rusty.

Free software isn’t really free
<soapbox>
If you're going to offer free software, just let me download it. If you want my email address to so you can make some money selling it to spammers, tell me, I'm likely to give you a throw away email address anyway. But when you want me to fill in my address, date of birth, income level, gender, and numerous other things that you obviously have no reason to have, you just piss me off and make me not want to try your software. If I like I'm going to pay. If I don't I won't. But
asking me all kinds of personal information will always make me lie or try something else.
</soapbox>
Sorry, had to get that off my chest. I really wanted to try this recommended software program called Cmap. But just as I stated above, if you want too much information just to download a program you're going to give me for free then you're not really giving it to me for free. Information isn't cheap and personal information is very expensive. Try again my friends. And for anyone else out there requiring a large amount of personal data just to download, why don't you give Sourceforge.net a try. At least I know you really support an open source or free software model.

Do you foos?
I was reminded about a great video on foosball. Here's the link.
There is one great line in this little commercial that says "The verocity of his beatdowns would be the stuff of legends." This is so great.
Had a great foosball match at work yesterday. Here are some photos.

Get GmailThis
If you're an avid Gmail user like I am, you need to get your hands on this little ditty.
There have been numerous times where was reading a web page and thought I wanted to email someone about it. I had to stop reading, load up Gmail, find the address, copy the link and they send it off. It was just a hassle. Now you can send off email easily.
