Netbook

I have not posted for quite some time, and I don’t really have a good reason.

However, here I go with a new post.  I have been debating over the last couple of days and even weeks about whether to get a new Netbook computer.  For those of you who don’t know what a Netbook is, I found a definition on Wikipedia.

“A netbook (a combination of the words Internet and notebook) is a class of laptop computer designed for wireless communication and access to the Internet.

Primarily designed for web browsing and e-mailing, netbooks rely heavily on the Internet for remote access to web-based applications” and are targeted increasingly at cloud computing users who require a less powerful client computer. Netbooks typically run either Linux or Windows XP operating systems rather than more resource-intensive operating systems like Windows Vista. The devices range in size from below 5 inches to over 13, typically weigh 2 to 3 pounds (~1 kg) and are often significantly cheaper than general purpose laptops.”

Anyway, I have been doing some research, and I really want to get a netbook.  I have been debating back and forth between a couple of different models.  The two final choices are either the Acer Aspire One, or the MSI Wind.  I am having the hardest time trying to make up my mind.  If anyone has any suggestions, then please leave a comment and let me know.

Procrastination

Category: Random Thoughts

One of the things that I hate really bad is procrastination.  Why do people find it convenient to wait until the last minute to take care of things.  Well, most of the time, companies do not wait until the last day to send out W2s.  This was the case with my employer.  I personally sent out W2s over a week ago.  But why do people wait until yesterday (Jan 30th), which also happens to be the last day they are sent out, to make sure that we have their correct address?  If these former employees know they are at a different address, then why don’t they take the time to update them before they are sent out.

Update

Category: Random Thoughts, School

Just thought I would give a little update about myself.  I haven’t been blogging that much lately.  However, I have been busy with work and school.  At work, not much as changed in what I do, except that I work night shifts (11pm - 7am) for the moment.  That will change, and go back to my regular time (eventually). 

And then at school, I am still at University of Phoenix.  My current class is FIN320: Corporate Accounting.  It is a fun class so far.  I am only in the 2nd week of a 5 week class.

The Idaho Statesman

I am not a big fan of the Idaho Mistaken, I mean the Idaho Statesman.  It is our local newspaper.  They are terrible at reporting news.  Usually when there is breaking news, they always have to be the first ones to report it, so in the process, they leave things out or misreport info. 

Or they report on things that don’t really sound like news to me.

Let me Tell You…

Category: Random Thoughts

Let me tell you why I suck as a blogger…

First, is that I seem to get a lot of my ideas from Mike Cox.  I don’t do it to try and copy him, I just do it, because I think that he has some wonderful ideas.  I love the themes that he happens to use.  The reason why I suck as a blogger, is that I seem to lack some kind of creativity.  I just hope that in the process of using his ideas, that I didn’t make him mad.  But I do hope and wish that I can gain some kind of creativity someday.

Thanks Again Mike for being so Awesome!!!

Emotions and Football

Category: Family, Sports

As I have stated many other times, I am a big Boise State Football fan.  I have been a Boise State Fan, even back when we sucked.  This year, I am a little bit upset.  I don’t know whether to be mad, or whether I should be happy.

Obama and Football.

Category: Finance, Politics, Sports

I am going to voice my opion about something.  Why does President-Elect Barack Obama have to stick his damn nose into everything.  I don’t remember where I was reading this, but I read somewhere that Obama wants to implement a College Football playoff system.  Everyone else wants to do this as well, but that is not my point.  My point is that there are so many other political things to worry about other than College Football.  Like the big one is the current economic situation.

Thanksgiving

Category: Family

Well, for those that haven’t noticed, it has been quite some time since I last posted.

I am very thankful for many different things.  One that I have been thinking about lately is, how grateful I am to have a job in this crappy economy. I work as a Bookkeeper, Front Desk Clerk, Night Auditor, Computer IT Stuff, and whatever else you could put in there.  It is probably the funnest job that I have ever had. I actually was just offered to live on-site at the Hotel.  Originally, I thought that it would suck.  On the contrary, I have found that it is actually pretty good, and I am able to save some money and stuff (And it is about twice as big as the apartment that I just left). I guess that could also be one thing that I am thankful for.

Another thing that I am grateful for, is to be married to such a wonderful woman.  She means everything to me.  I love her more than anything, and would do anything for her. She is always so understanding.  Sometimes, with school and work, it feels like I forget her, but I don’t.  She has made sure that I know that she feels that my school and work are big priorities.

I hope that any of what I just said made any kind of sense.

My friend sent me an email with a very funny Nascar bit, so here it is:

Payback

Category: Random Thoughts, Sports

About 6 months ago, I wrote a post about my frustration with Kyle Busch.  That race was at Richmond, and Kyle Busch wrecked Dale Jr, with just a few laps to go and took the win away from Jr.  Well, there was another race a week ago on the September 7th.  This same race also happened to be at Richmond.  However, this time the tables were turned.  This time Kyle Busch was leading, and Jr got up behind him.
