I had a little problem with windows automatic updates. It kept trying to download the same update every time I turned my laptop on or off. So I figured I’d do a system restore, restoring my settings back to before it started happening. That screwed up my mozilla browser and totally hosed my i-tunes. I had to reinstall i-tunes, then uninstall and reinstall quicktime. But before I could do that, I had to reinstall all the windows updates that caused the problem in the first place.

Holy crap. I hope you realize that Microsoft has now managed to send every one of us a download by which they can verify, remotely, that our copy of windows is genuine. Be afraid. What happens when their monkeybrained server decides you’re not cool? Do you go boom or just poof? A bang or a whimper?

Brian Williams just said something hysterical on Letterman. He said it used to be you couldn’t say Sanjaya on TV. You could say private parts or something like that. Bwahahahaha! Then he said the most he’s ever paid for a haircut is $12. Bullshit. I pay $23 at a regular barbershop in SB. I don’t believe he can get a haircut for half that in New York City. But Williams is cool; he’s got a good sense of humor for a news guy. Most of those guys are pretty full of themselves.
