Liking how I was able to merge my G+ profile in to my old blog. Hopefully this will inspire me to become more active with my blog. We will see. There is definitely plenty of political action and exciting computer news going on this summer.

Crazy Week!
So it has been a crazy 9-10 days. Work was nuts as I was working on a major project. Then when I finally got some time off for spring break with my son, I got sick. I did get a new Dell Desktop as an early birthday gift so that was nice!
Working on my A+ Certification
Seeing how I am such a huge fan of the movie Julie and Julia, I thought that I would begin to post my progress towards getting my A+ Certification. To catch everyone up, I have already read Exam Prep A+ but found out that the book was was not the latest publication and therefore ordered the Michael Myers A+ Computer Certification which I must say is much easier to read than the exam prep book. Also I bought the Laptop Repair Videos off the podnutz.com site. I must say that the videos are very good and I am glad that I decided to buy the videos. I have set my goal to take the tests in June. From there I will move foward to my Net+ Certification.
Jolicloud
Yesterday, Dec 24th 2009, I received what I would consider an outstanding Christmas gift. After seeing a review from Desktop Linux, I decided to try Jolicloud for my netbook and all I can say is wow. Even though it is still only in the beta phase, everything worked right out of the box with absolutely no issues at all. We maybe just one, which was easily fixed as I wanted to add my printer. I would highly recommend giving Jolicloud a shot as it is based on Ubuntu, another great linux distro! Go to www.jolicloud.com to download your copy of this great linux distro for the netbook. You will not be disappointed.
The New Love of My Life!
I want everyone to meet a very special(Ed!) person in my life. She has truly taught me what it means to live again! Her name is Terri and she definitely is the love of my life :-)
Discovery Flight
For Christmas, my sister Karen, gave me an extraordinary gift. She purchased a gift certificate which allowed me to go up in a Cessna airplane. The pilot must be an awfully trusting person because he let have control of the stick most of the way. Heck I even made a couple of turns and descended from 2100 feet to around 1100 feet. I felt like I was having to learn to drive all over again :-) Make sure to check out all the cool pics! Thanks Karen for the wonderful gift! It was a thrill of a lifetime! Rick
