Every Super Bowl Ad!
Yup, every one of them back to back. It will take 20 minutes, but you won't miss even one!
Happy The Rain Has Stopped!
These two spent half and hour walking around right below the deck and endured me up above snapping their photos.
Deer Off Of The Deck
Freezing cold did not stop me from creeping out onto the deck and getting this shot of one of our resident deer. Note: Cloud of breath drifting away to the left.

Steve, Don't Eat It!
This is a great site where the writer (I assume his name is Steve) selects and consumes some of the foulest food on the planet while describing every tasty bite!

Microsoft Won't Issue Advance Kama Sutra Fix
InformationWeek | Security | Microsoft Won't Issue Advance Kama Sutra Fix | January 31, 2006: "Microsoft Monday posted a security advisory on the Kama Sutra/Blackworm/MyWife worm that's set to overwrite Office documents on infected PCs Friday, but the company has decided against updating its Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool before the next regularly-scheduled release of Feb. 14.
The security advisory -- a mechanism Microsoft uses to both alert users of impending threats and give them advice or workarounds to apply -- repeats recommendations that most security vendors have been offering since the worm debuted two weeks ago.
It also notes that infected PCs will be in danger on Friday, Feb. 3, when the worm will overwrite several popular file formats, including those of Microsoft Office, with useless data.
But according to the team in charge of Microsoft's Windows Software Removal Tool, that program won't be updated until after the Friday deadline passes.Microsoft Monday posted a security advisory on the Kama Sutra/Blackworm/MyWife worm that's set to overwrite Office documents on infected PCs Friday, but the company has decided against updating its Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool before the next regularly-scheduled release of Feb. 14.

Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta 2
If you feel brave and want to try the latest Internet Explorer here is the link. WARNING: This software IS BETA and I have run into several bugs already just working on the creation of the blog.
If the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Security check gives you any problems for some strange reason...
pre-SP2 just run this in the address bar "javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')" at the screen where you select Express or custom.
SP2 or later: In IE, you can bypass the Windows Genuine Advantage check by going into Tools --> Internet Options --> Programs Tab --> Manage Add-ons --> Disable Windows Genuine Advantage.
P.S. If there is ANYONE out there not updated to SP2 yet, get on it! This update address MANY security issues and you are really quite exposed without it.
