Today I finally installed the latest Windows 7 revision – 7068×64 – on my notebook. There appears to be some stability improvements in general, but I’m most impressed with the latest graphical improvements. Windows 7 brought new themes, of course, which include changing desktop backgrounds. The following screen shot is from one of the “Characters” theme images. I kid you not, someone at the Microsoft art department is dropping acid. And I’m going to use this theme forever.
Windows 7 Background
Today is Saturday, March 28TH. It is snowing here in Iowa. Hopefully for the last time until next fall. Although I can’t complain about a couple inches of snow in comparison to what the Dakotas and Minnesota is dealing with, I can’t remember the last time I’ve wanted summer to get here faster. I tend to lock myself in my room on crappy days like this, watching stupid movies or reruns of Chuck.
Today, I’m editing reruns of Chuck. Yeah. I’m that bored. Chuck versus the Counting Crows. Deal with it.
Messing around in Premiere
Got this in an email at work thought I would share it. All I have to say is wow, hmmmm, and it was definitely written by a Republican lol.

Awesome, the Christian in Christian Dior,
Damn, they don’t make ‘em like this anymore,
I ask ’cause I’m not sure,
Do anybody make real shit anymore?
Kanye West. You can sample like a mad man. I may not like you, but I respect the hell out of you. But do anybody make real shit anymore? Well, you don’t. 808 & Heartbreaks is all autotune. That’s not news. But that lyric really pisses me off. I bet Kanye’s next studio album features far less.
Not my favorite hip-hop artist. Wanna know who are my favorite hip-hop artists? The Roots. You know what’s awesome about The Roots? They’re going to be Jimmy Fallon’s house band for Late Night. You know what’s awesome about Late Night with Jimmy Fallon? Demographic targeting. The crew behind Late Night are going to be reaching out to the second largest age demographic. That means a nightly talk show host that is using new tools to reach out to us. Between vlogging and twitter, Fallon is attempting to reach out and interact with fans, garnering early attention from web 2.0 enthusiastic viewers. He’s stated he wants to treat major video game releases like movie premiers and has already made good on an invite to have Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht, former TechTV cable cohosts and current internet television personalities on the show in just the second week of taking the reins from O’Brien.
And while Rose and Albrecht may be lower key guests, Jimmy Fallon opens tonight with Robert DeNiro, Justin Timberlake and musical act Van Morisson. Overall, tonight should be an interesting glimps into what the future holds for Late Night.
