"1 Part Professional, 2 Parts Crazy"
From the monthly archives:
I had a problem with my Windows Defender giving me the following error code: 0X80240022 when it tried to update. I was also unable to download updates for XP, and office through the browser.
To solve it I went to start> programs > administrative tools > services.

I came across this tonight which is a pretty great speech by congressman Ron Paul.
Lew Rockwell did an excellent job transcribing the video so you can read along with it as Ron Paul speaks. It is long, but I think it does a great job of putting into words some of the feelings/fears I have had lately. I would recommend going here and listening to the whole speech while you read the text.

This is an old fashioned braindump. If you can connect any of the dots you will see something similar to what I am seeing. I am still in the middle of digesting it all and am not sure how i feel about any of it. It is an information overload, and was originally written and saved MONTHS ago. I have no idea of the actual date of it, but I found it tonight while I planning to go through this sweet sweet site and re-organize the posts.

Here are 2 kind of off the wall “toys” that I have. The first is a Ben Franklin toy that my friend Mikey got me. The second is a little plastic fetus that I bought (in bulk) off of eBay. Why you ask? I really do not have an answer. I was going to use them in some crazy sculptures, but that never happened. Now there are around 40 of these little buggers somewhere in my house!

So I took more photos in my sweet light tent set-up and played around with some of the setting. Digital photography is pretty interesting. I have never had a high end camera that shot in “RAW” format, until now. It allows you to play with a ton of the settings that would be similar to darkroom development techniques. I think it is pretty interesting and fun. Not only that, but being able to change every setting on the camera ranging from exposure time, to exact focus, puts me back into total control of every photo I am taking. It is great.

So I took a trip into the basement today and setup some more pictures in the light tent. I really liked how these came out, so Buddy Lee is now my new desktop. I run dual 19″ monitors at 1280×1024 each for a total of 2560×1024. So I made 1 wide buddy lee that is 2560×1024

Since I had such a hard time finding Chicago Computer Recycling Centers, I figured I would make a nice google map with location of all the Chicago Recyling Centers.
You can find this map here: Chicago Recycling Centers Map. or if you have Google earth: click this.

Well I am writing this post since Chicago is pretty much worthless at any sort of web site optimization and I was looking for Chicago Computer Recycling and Chicago Electronics Recycling, and after much searching, I found what I was looking for:
