Just letting you know about a good deal for a nice little laptop :
http://www.woot.com/
this is the intel version of the laptop and has a dedicated 512 ram to the Video Card which is a bit better than my one with shared ram... as that doesn't always work as nicely for online games.
thought today?
Thank God Tomorrow is Friday :)
got a 4 day weekend coming and I plan to do somethings around the condo one day and the rest maybe just relax and take in some nature!

Week of nothing to do but keep my head down and stay the course!
Well work is getting more and more sad, empty desks all around me...
I miss having my good friend Tyler here to hang with and practise karate at lunch with.. Dam the economy but hell i can only blame myself as I am one of those who used credit like there was no tomorrow.
But I am not using it any more :)
Movie to look for this week? TERMINATOR SALVATION!:
I am not a big fan of the Terminator series but I do like the TV show the Sarah Connors chronicles because the actress playing sara connor is kick ass in shape and can kick man butt!
I also love Terminator 2 because Linda Hamilton Was RIPPED!
I am telling you I love seeing the human body in its most amazing forms, the muscles and how they connect and interact is amazing. guess that is why I love training and body building.
Here is a good shot of Linda Hamilton:
Now for the Movie it does have Christian Bale who is always a nice eye treat but he also
is believable... takes on the role like a coat similar to Mel Gibson.
Also it has Terminator Motorcycles how cool is that ;)
Well got to go :)
Enjoy the Trailer :

My Eyes and STAR TREK!!!!
First thing yesterday I had an eye appointment at Hoopes Vision, its close by and because I have had lasik I kind of want people who know lasik checking my eyes.
lately I have had Headaches and blurry vision at a distance when its like in a theater, like KA at the MGM and a bit in Wicked.
So to be sure I had them checked, well the appointment started at 8:15 am and I got out at 10:30 AM.
they did every scan and test I think you can do to an eye... and most the time when they were saying do you like 1 or 2, 3 or 4 my eyes were blinking just to focus in seems I never hit 20/20 because my eyes are so dry.
They are only 20/25 atm and its my reading that took the biggest hit but it is still ok if its a lighted area. They suggest when I do get them fixed as to do Monovision, where one eye (my left) is set to distance and the non-dominant eye (my right) is set to near vision thus making one eye do primarily all the work with distance viewing and one to do the close up.
If you want to read more on this check this site:
Monovision
They dialated my eyes and so I had to go home with 3 sunglasses on so I could see enough to drive the sun was so blinding! I couldn't work on the computer so just called in to work and said I was not coming in so I laid back down and slept a bit more and then got up and cleaned a bit..
the best part of today
10 PM IMAX theater STAR TREK MOVIE!
Ok First JJ Abrams!!! and Yes he did a great movie in making STAR TREK!
Great cast selection
A progression which leads up to a very satisfying ending... or could it be the beginning... who knows I just know I will be getting this movie on DVD/BlueRay as soon as possible and will hopefully be able to head to St. George to get my mom to see it :)

Black Tuesday
Well yesterday turned out to be more Grey and even black than it was outside...
Symantec in their wisdom had deep and cutting Lay offs yesterday,
The Team i am on was decimated. My good bud Tyler Keith was one of them who was laid off...
I am not sure the wisdom in this process but as far as I can see it was done by someone with a list of names and a Dart in their hand.
People who were kept were as random as those let go...
Not really sure why we need two Test Managers for this team but we have them and we lost a great tester in the process.
Sorry not in a great mood.. I do have a job but not in the mood to do much about it.

Grey Sprinkle days
Not much to say at this time other than the weather is grey and when I woke up my allergies were a bit on the strong side.
Last night I just really hung out with Puddi on the couch, goofing on the computer and watching House.
Work today going to be finishing up my Vmware Setup and start to consider how to be more efficient with gathering files needed for our build and get my script ready to go :)

Xmen Origins: Wolverine.. Good movie if never read a comic
Ok so I saw this movie Midnight on Thursday,
It starts ok... and it stays along the premise that Striker gave Wolverine his claws...
This movie introduces the Team X
Deadpool (Wade) Excerpt from Wiki page: "Nicknamed the "Merc with a Mouth", Deadpool is a high-tech mercenary known for his wisecracks, black comedy, and satirical pop-culture references. Like the X-Men's Wolverine, Deadpool is the product of the Canadian government's paramilitary Weapon X program, although his place of birth is unknown. After Weapon X cured his terminal cancer by implementing a regenerative "healing factor" extracted from Wolverine, Deadpool is left disfigured and mentally unstable."
John Wraith/Krestel Phasing Can phase in and out
Wolverine
Sabertooth/Vykter
Agent Zero God with a gun
Silver Fox? Not really there however kayla is somehow a reference to her
Blob BIG FAT MAN with tremendous power and industructable in many ways (not part of Weapon X ever)
If you have never read a single XMen comic this movie is entertaining and full of great fight scenes and a lot of sly quips.
What is doesn't do right is too long to list all but the only thing that really matters is they messed up my favorite GAMBIT!
Gambit (Remy Etienne LeBeau)Taken from WIKI:
"As a mutant, Gambit possesses the ability to manipulate kinetic energy, as well as a hypnotic charm. He is also skilled in card throwing, hand-to-hand combat, and the use of a staff.
Originally a professional thief, few X-Men trusted Gambit when he first joined the group, a source of stress between him and his longtime on-again, off-again love interest Rogue. This was exacerbated when his connections to villain Mister Sinister were revealed, although some of his team members accept that Gambit honestly seeks redemption.
As the X-Men's self-described ladies man, Gambit has shown a more vulnerable side of himself over the years, especially when it comes to Rogue. Gambit remains fiercely proud of his Louisiana heritage, and speaks in a very thick, Creole accent."
Now the guy in the movie starts with some Accent unknown to me and looses it along the way, they also make him a gambler... They just miss the mark completely.
However again if you never never knew any of this the movie is very entertaining...
I give it a B- for at least a good Super Hero movie somewhat based on the XMEN comics and Marvel Characters.
