A Parody of the trailer for the new movie about how Facebook was founded.

Been so excited every since I saw this article come across Gossip Gamers.  I remember playing Worms 2 for hours.  Sine that game was out over 10 years ago you just can’t get it to work on today’s computers.  Well now I will have a chance to play it once again.

Anyone that has ever heard me talk about Nevada Football you know how much I really despise Boise St.  The feeling I have for it is not just because they are a huge rival of the Wolfpack, but also just the way that they just feel like they more deserving then other teams just because they are Boise St. and just how much their fans have just become complete assholes (anyone that has been to Boise or been go a game and roots for another team knows what I am talking about).

Then I find on ESPN this story that apparently it isn’t just their fans that are in a whole new level of crazy that just boggles my mind.  The problem even extends to the the President of the University.  The President in an interview with the Idaho Statesman (which may be the most biased newspaper in the country) was quoted as saying the Idaho culture was “nasty” and “inebriated”.  This was a follow up to questions asked of Head Football Coach Chris Peterson about continuing the Idaho rivalry after they have moved to the Mountain West Conference.   To which his response was "I don’t think our fans even like to go up there. Most of Idaho’s fans are in Boise anyway.

At first when it was announced that Boise St. would be going to the Mountain West Conference I was worried about that the meant for the teams left in the WAC.  Now I have to see that thought of not having to deal with Boise St Fans Once every football season kind of excites me.

See the ESPN article here.

Getting excited about Wolfpack Football 2010.

A while back I got an invite to Google Voice and set it up although at the time I didn’t get the Google number to go with it.  Recently I finally broke down at got myself a good number when I started realizing it was very hard for people to get hold of me in the sense for Doctor appointments and other things that I wouldn’t give out my cell phone number.  After finding out that you can also use this number to block and screen calls.

Google Voice

A while back I posted that I was starting to use Live Writer to make posts.  Well shortly after that I have tried several different programs that really basically did the same thing but now of those had the only thing that Live Writer has, plug-ins!  Well because of that and now with the release of the new Windows Live Writer Beta.  I had already been thinking about coming back just because of the plug-ins but when I saw the screen shot and saw that they were going to be using the Microsoft Ribbon for the menus.  It is going to take a lot for me to switch again.

So after a little bit of thought I think I am going to give Google Buzz a try.   It is kind of a Twitter alternative.  I am not going to be posting stuff that I am having dinner at a certain restaurant or announce to everyone that I am about to take a crap.  It does make it a easier place for me to post a something real quick that doesn’t isn’t really enough to make a full Blog post about.  Also it a lot easier to share stories from my Google Reader.

I may post things on both my blog on my Buzz feed depending on how much I think should be said about the topic.  I am looking for a way to show my Buzz feed on the blog as well but I haven’t quite gotten there yet.

If you would like to follow me on Google Buzz go look at my Google Profile.

If you have a Facebook account you should really check out the site quitfacebookday.com.  There have been a lot of talk in the media lately about are constantly changing the privacy policy.  There have been many stories coming out about how this changes have been leaking out a lot of info that people thought would be private.  What also doesn’t help is stories coming out about what a great guy the founder Mark Zuckerberg is.

I was actually very much on the fence about finally getting my own Facebook account to see if I could catch up with some people that I have lost touch with over the years.  That was until I finally got around to watching last weeks Twit where they talked about all of these things.  I will be waiting for an alterative to come a long and maybe catch the next big fad.
