Bram Stokers' 165th Birthday!

  If you haven't noticed Googles Dracula and characters logo today (and probably only today) then FYI its ol' Bram Stokers 165th birthday.  Not only is the book good but the movie was extremely well done especially for the time (1992) when computer effects where just not up to snuff.  Real makeup and costumes very well done.  I always had a fasination with vampire lore well before the vampire craze and "goth" kids and wannabes.  I never dressed up (except as a child on halloween) as a vampire to go into the public in my teens or anything. Sillyness I tells ya!  Any way here are some related links to learn more about the history of Bram Stoker and his masterpieces. Educate yourself!

New tech goodies on the way!

 I recently had a new gaming laptop by MSI crap out on me so they are shipping me a replacement.  In short it has a 3rd generation i7, 4GB Nvidia GTX 675, 12 GB DDR3 RAM, 1.5 TB Harddrive (750GB x2 Raid-0), blu-ray burner/player, hdmi/vga out, dynaudio sound with small subwoofer built in, illuminated keyboard and blah blah blah you know, its the works.  I will be happy to get it back and setup so I can use my main Steam account. I also ordered a super far ranged wifi adapter for my old computer upstairs (I am using it now to type this) so I can have a more reliable connection, a USB 3.0 hot-swappable hub, logitech gaming mouse and that's about it. Mmmm I love tech goodies.
