Yesterday I decided to get the latest version of Ubuntu (9.0.4) running on my VAIO laptop (dual boot with Vista), expecting a night of wireless driver compiling, searches, and other hack hoops to jump through... Which I was willing to do, because Vista continues to be the bane of my existence. I can't stand it.
But this went smooth as silk. This is the most accessible version of Linux I've seen yet.

The title of my blog entry is redundant, but anyway...
A few weeks back, the plastic molded housing to my LCD TV's optical out fell out of the TV. We've had the connector basically just sitting loose in a square opening (fortunately the sound still works). I took the great Clark Howard's advice and bought the Best Buy service protection plan when I got the TV, and this is the kind of thing that's covered, so I gave them a call on Monday to get a tech out to fix the TV.

OK, been awhile since I dropped a real Album of the Day on you, so...
Neck breaking molasses heavy riffs... I first found them playing Guitar Hero 2 - while Freya is a great song, it's not the best on the album. Reminiscent of Sabbath, slower, more deliberate metal, the kind your momma and poppa would be proud of you for listening to. And yeah, the Dungeons and Dragon-esque album cover is pretty good too.
