Snow. Ice. Wind. Cold.

Yeah, All four of those things suck. Pretty bad. We may not be getting it very hard, but its slick out there. I’m hearing that they are wrecking all over the place. I hope everyone stays safe wherever you are. I was driving earlier but it wasn’t nearly as bad as I hear it is now. Luckily. I won’t have to go back out in it. Hopefully it doesn’t get worse the next couple days.
Later Y’all.

Click the Thumbnails to see the images in full 1600×1200 glory. The first two pictures are just the road I live on, usually a fairly busy road but empty when the roads are bad. The last one is of my building in the back yard.
We are supposed to be getting more snow tonight, So probably I’ll take more pictures tomorrow. Will add them to this post.
Be safe, Everyone.
Finally!!! Wooo!!!

Thanks to a very awesome friend, I now have a fully working hackintosh. Leopard 10.5.8. The image above is showing the graphics section of system profiler, where it shows I have Quartz Extreme and both monitors working. Its just really nice to finally say I have accomplished it. I have been trying to get a fully working hackintosh for about a year now.
To my friends who will say “eeeewwwww! osx!!” I am dual booting with Windows 7, so be happy

It’s 1am, I’m trying to get my hackintosh working fully, and I’m eating ravioli. Typical blog post time, right?
Woke up at my grandparents house like I usually do on Sundays. Showered, packed, all that good stuff. Got my grandpa off to work (truck driver) and went out to eat with my grandma. Seemingly normal day, right? Right.
Got done eating, finished getting everything off, had to drop off a computer I fixed over the weekend. That went well. Then I got home. Parked the truck in my/my step-dads spot and came in the house. I had wanted a Mountain Dew since I left my grandparents house, but I didn’t feel the need to stop just for myself. However, my step dad wanted a Dr Pepper. Me being the awesome, nice kid that appreciates the “I don’t care where you go, just as long as I know where you’re going” attitude that he has towards me driving his truck, I said I’d go down, and refused money. Of course, I asked mom if she wanted anything and she did, so off I went…
Then I got home, parked the truck and came inside. I usually keep it out of gear, and didn’t really see the need for the parking brake/forgot to put it on. For those who do not know what that would cause, it would allow it to move really easily. Now the confusing part. The truck rolled backwards. Whats the big deal, right? The big deal is that I can NOT think of any logical explanation as of how it would have rolled. It didn’t roll back 1 foot, 4 foot, or 5 foot, It rolled about a whole car length. I do not think there was wind outside, though there must have been. Our driveway is perfectly flat. Its just weird. Weird things bother me like that.
Thanks for reading… I have an OS to set up.
Pants On The Ground… The Acoustic version? #pantsontheground

This is pretty cool. Not a bad sounding version of the very awesome original.
Did you guys hear that “General” Larry Platt got a record deal today? He deserves it, since William Hung got one.

oooh, new music this week?
Posted by Dilpickle1 in Coheed, odds and ends on January 18, 2010
Its not very often that something happens in the music world that I give two craps about. New albums are almost always nice. This tweet from @Coheed
There will be announcements this week… a smaller one tomorrow for sure… then they will just start coming more and more.
Makes me very happy. I’m hoping for pre-order info, a couple singles, and the release date. Its going to be AWESOME!
