Accomplishments

I have accomplished a few things since my last post.

Success and final Upgrade

The motherboard installation was a success. The best part was not having to reinstall Windows 7. I simply had to make a few adjustments in the ASUS UEFI and then the machine just booted to the desktop. Sure I had to verify my copy of Windows, but that was hardly an inconvenience. I also had to make some minor tweaks in the Task Scheduler, but overall it was a delightful experience.

A few weeks after that change, I implemented two other upgrades to complete my ideal machine.

Changing of the Guard, Part II

My ASUS P8P67 and  Intel i5-2500 have served me well, but it's time for an upgrade.

I'm installing an ASUS Maximus Hero VII and an Intel i5-4690k. Wish me luck; it's my first install.

Changing of the Guard

Out with the old,

And in with the new.

Time for some sweet gaming.

Garbage or Art?

I did a little decorating in my new apartment recently.

Rainy Tuesday Tunes

In keeping with today's weather (which I thoroughly enjoy), here are some tunes about rain. Hit the jump to find them.

Big Crowds and Powerful Moments

I love it when the crowd gets into it. And I have to wonder: what does it do to a man when a stadium full of people sings the song that he wrote? Gallagher might have the answer at the 5:50 mark of the first video.



"Feel free to join in on the chorus", he says, and the crowd sings the entire effing song. Powerful stuff.





I love the guitar work in that song, and the enthusiastic crowd.
