A lot has been going on the last few days. For those who may not have heard, we had a blizzard here in the Northeast corner of Indiana. I love snow. I have always loved snow, even though I have only been injured twice in my life and both were snow related injuries. I love snow nonetheless. We got about 10 inches of snow in my neck of the woods and because of the high winds, I have about 2 feet of snow on the balcony of my apartment and the drift in front of my Jeep this morning was about 4 feet deep. The drive in was not too bad though. Getting out of the apartment complex was rough, but after that it wasn't too bad. The Northeast U.S. is supposed to get pounded with this same system over the next few days and they could get as much as 30 inches in parts of New York state. I love the New England area and I would love to get that kind of snow. Especially since it is now mid-February and Spring is just around the corner. Having Winter exit like a lion is alright with me.

The reason I have the time to blog right now is because I am installing Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 on my system again. I have upgraded to Vista at the office and I have to reinstall all of my applications. I'm OK with that because I have been running the same install of XP for over 3 years without fault and sometimes it's nice to clean the slate with a fresh install. I really like Vista so far and if you have the opportunity to check it out at your local Best Buy or Circuit City, I recommend you do so just to see what's new.

On the music front, the Fort Wayne local band; Ong has posted some new songs on their MySpace page. I saw them perform at The Munchie Emporium back in October and the performed a song called: 'Diamonds for Lauren' that I have been wanting to hear again ever since that performance. Well, they have posted a recording of that song on their page and I highly recommend that you have a listen to it. Very good stuff.

Well, prepare yourselves New Englanders; drive safe and stay warm!
