Life of Brian (

You know I haven’t had a personal post about me and my life in quite some time. Just thought I’d share that next week I’ll be traveling to Israel for the first time. I’ll be staying in Tel Aviv and am really excited about being there for two...
Wow...I can't believe i've been awarded my MVP in Directory Services again!!! This is my third year in a row and i'm honored again. It really does go to show that karma is alive and well. Brian
I read a few weeks back that Microsoft extended their warranty on the XBOX 360 for an additional 3 years. I was kind of surprised that Microsoft did that since it is rare to see a company react that way to customer complaints. Not that I think Microsoft...
Now that my home theater room is 99% complete it is time to update my computer. The reason being is that my current computer is too large and not powerful enough for what I need. Let's start with power… How does an Intel QX6700 Core 2 Extreme sound? One...
I was pleasantly surprised to get the email regarding my MVP renewal. This is my second year and I'm just as excited and thankful this time around as the first! I have to say the MVP summit really got me excited about wanted to work with technology even...
Just got back from the MVP Summit and all I can say is that it was GREAT! There were so many great people there so much sharing of knowledge. During the Keynote which was done by Bill Gates a former co-worker of mine got up to ask a question. He went...
Quick little update on the happenings of the room . Matt came over today and helped install the fan and mount the TV to the wall. I can't stand installing fans and this one finally went up after dropping each of the screws at least twice off the top of...
You know it's about time I write about a concern I have with Google and some of the services they provide. Today's rant is on Gmail . Google first introduced Gmail back in March of 2004 to 1,000 people and was available by invitation only. Gmail touted...
Last night around 11:30 I went to Wal-Mart because I heard they were going to get 20 Nintendo Wiis . When I got there, there were about 30 total people waiting in line. I felt pretty good because there were several families and at my count I was about...
Thought it was time to give another update to the Home Theater Room . The couch (black) has arrived at the store and I'm trying to figure out when I want to have it delivered to the house. I still have a TON of work on the gutting the office. I hope to...
For quite some time now I've been neglecting my office. I'm not really sure why that is. Perhaps that I'm in love with Sami's Dual Core I-Mac running XP or it may be that I really hate going upstairs to work…I admit with age comes laziness. Sami and I...
I just tried registering my MSMVPS.com account with Word 2007's blogging ability and had some problems. I finally got it working but thought I would share my findings with you and with this help post a test blog to ensure it works…boy if it doesn't all...
My good friend Spike Xavier with the help of Dan Wahlin have written a new song called DLL Hell . They are introducing a new type of music called Rock .Netal to world. They came up with it carpooling to work. You see, carpooling is not only good for saving...
Last night my wife Sami and I went to go see Jackass 2. This was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. We had never seen the first one but occasionally would watch the TV show along with Wild Boyz and Bam's show. I honestly couldn't stop...
Over on my alter-ego site AdminPrep I have an interview up there with Ben Smith who is a Senior Strategist with Microsoft. Good stuff for you Security folks read up on and share with your community. Take a look here for it .
I have always been a fan of classic arcade or console games. Pac-Mac, Donkey Kong and such brings back so many fond memories. If you are like me and enjoy playing those types of games then www.classicgaming.cc/classics is for you. Those two titles along...
Not to long ago I mentioned that I bought an iMAC for my wife that was going to be used to replace her Dell laptop. I mentioned in that blog that I was not going to install Bootcamp on it...I lied. After about a month I decided to make things easier for...
Last week at was at Microsoft's TechEd and on Thursday night the event was a concert at the Boston Red Sox Fenway stadium. I could personally care less about the band that played that night which was Train , but the stadium was GREAT!!!. Take a look here...
Well I didn't make the switch but I made the switch for Sami. Last night I got an iMAC for her to replace her Dell Laptop. What a beautiful looking machine!!! My plan is to not install BootCamp on it. I really believe that Apple has done a good job with...
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen on the web (and i've seen a lot). As most of you know Microsoft makes software for MACs such as Office and Virtual PC. There is a group of people at Microsoft that just play with MACs. Take a look here...
