Last week I had some fireball whisky.

Just finished Final Battle (In Her Name: Redemption, Book 3) by Micheal Hicks

I stopped using favorites and started using Evernote web clipper.

I've never heard of this. I might have to check it out.

I find it works better with Chrome. Then if I need something, I just Google it (you can set the Evernote web clipper to search your evernote at the same time as Google, it shows results on the right).

I tried bluestacks before. I had a lot of problems to get my apps running ... And it needs a M$ OS to run.

If I have more time, I will see if I can get this working on VMware Workstation first.
I think the main problem is that ESX does not fully support the needed virtual hardware, yet. VMware Workstation has a lot more virtual network adaptors ...

Yeah, the first versions were wonky, but after an upgrade it was cool. And yes it needs MS or Apple to run. Good luck!

My favorite movie of all time remains "The Princess Bride"

I enjoy watching Science Fiction and Fantasy movies in general. I will also watch a Wuxia at the drop of a hat. That interest stemmed off the Sci-Fi/Fantasy element a lot of the Wuxia movies have.

OMG, just found that Red Cliff is available free via Amazon Prime. John Woo directing Tony Leung.... first time together since the landmark Hard Boiled in 1992!

Hard Boiled...haven't seen that since I worked for a video store in the 90's!

I think I have one of the most random tastes in music around.. but my favourite bands atm are pretty much Queen & McFly. Fun to play, very fun to play.
But I love classical, country (much country), classic rock, plenty of pop stuff etc. Not as much jazz but as soon as I think I've found a definite dislike to a certain genre, I find something I like in it. I play A LOT, always meaning to get into doing some recording but never got the time.

I'm pretty eclectic. I listen to pop, country, classical, jazz, big band, dance, etc. I was a classical performance music major at university - triple focus on classical / Spanish guitar, orchestral trombone and voice.

Such a well rounded fella!

Youtube Video

I could watch True Lies, The Rock, The Matrix (any), Star Wars (any), Hackers, Wall-e, Cars, Nemesis, Blade, Highlander, The One, Fast & Furious, Pulp Fiction, Desperado over and over again. Wait...that has happened many times!

Google music has allowed me the flexibility to play my music collection anywhere! Most of the music I prefer to listen to is stuff I can sing at karaoke which ranges from 60's-90's rock and pop, country, soul and blues.

Has anyone used the W8 built in Refresh or Reset yet? I had to do a Reset on a new PC that locked up during the upgrade from W8 home to W8 Pro and it worked fine. Haven't used Refresh or Reset for a system that has been hacked.
