1) Can Brett Favre throw any more INT's in a game? The Chiefs dropped 2 more possible INT's, they were lucky to pull out this win.
2) The BeerFest in NYC is a week away, so someone is going to have some fun next Saturday! Who else is in?
3) I've been asked to contribute to a new website; I guess someone has been reading my blog and they like what I have to say. Stay tuned for more details, once the site is up and functional I'll let you all know.
4) Asus 901 Linux model, that will be my netbook of choice - do not talk to me about them anymore, I do not want to keep second guessing myself!
5) It is odd, it is October and the Yanks aren't playing, but I have a feeling this is something I will be getting used to for the next few years. I cannot see any quick fixes for the Yanks. Speaking of baseball, I hope the World Series goes to 7 games this year, both teams are evenly matched and very entertaining to watch.
6) Isiah Thomas - could this story take a stranger twist? He is a Hoosier so I have to support him somewhat, even though he destroyed my Knicks.

Technology mumble jumble
A) why do they make it so hard to change the EV setting on an DSLR? Seemed like my e-520 had 2 ways to do it. I took about 130 pictures this weekend, tweaking the EV settings depending on the situations at hand. When I transfer the photos into Lightroom, they were all taken at EV 0 --- figures. Just my luck.
B) I still want a Netbook, but now it looks like Asus will have larger SSD drives, touch screens and dual core Atom processors next year. I have 2 different 1 week vacations coming up. Do I buy now or wait for next year? Usually your tech products are always outdated 2 hours after purchase, but these 3 changes are not so small and superficial, they will make a huge difference on the performance of the device. At least for '08 models I have it narrowed down to the Asus 901 or the Dell Mini.
C) I still hate CSS, and that will never change folks!

Netbooks
Why must making a purchase be so darn confusing. I want to buy a new netbook. I want a large SSD HD and a 6 Cell Battery.
I really like the keyboard and overall form of the Dell, and I can use some credit card reward points for half the cost of the Dell. But of course, it tops out with a 16GB SSD drive and it only has a 4 cell battery, no options to upgrade to 6 cell.
I hear the Asus 6 cell batteries are nice, they can get over 6 hours of playback. Asus has an 8.9'' and 10'' models, with various configurations of hard drives, RAM, OS's, etc.
Anyone have any experience with Asus models, or the Dell's for that matter?
I think I scratched HP off the list due to the lack of an Atom processor. The Acer Aspire and MSI Wind lack a larger battery, except in their very high end models which are hard to come by.
And then once I pick the hardware, I got to decide Linux vs WinXP? Do I really want a 10 year old, unsupported OS? Do I really want to learn ANOTHER OS in Linux??
Please help me!!!
On a side note, a hearty congrats to Kirk and Abby on the arrival of Everett Patrick Winters.
