  • Native Boot from VHD

    This is the best feature in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2… period. The opportunities here are endless. So much so that I really can’t figure out how I want to use it at home. However, for my Microsoft laptop I’m using it to boot into Windows Server...

  • Benchmark Blog 16: 98RockFest (Plaza Bands Only), April 2009

    I was on Facebook and saw an update that Nonpoint was performing a FREE show in Tampa. I didn't really think that "FREE" meant no payment required to view, so I checked out the info and found out sure enough it did! I was flabbergasted....

  • Benchmark Blog 15: Disturbed, Jacksonville, February 2009

    I had a chance to see Disturbed and Shinedown at the House of Blues in Orlando in 2002. Unfortunately, I knew only one Disturbed song ("Down with the Sickness") and had no real clue who Shinedown was, as we did not listen to that genre until...

  • TF2 Crashing and Choppy Game Play

    I like to relax by playing video games. My game of choice is Team Fortress 2. So, when I started randomly crashing when entering different servers and game play became too choppy to play if I did get in I was pretty upset. This happened on Windows 7 and...

  • Benchmark Blog 14: Taken

    It has been quite a while since I last blogged. Chris and I had the opportunity to see Taken recently. I normally refuse to see movies about kids being abducted, so it really surprised me that I really wanted to see this movie. White boys normally do...

  • Windows Home Server

    To be honest, I was skeptical when Windows Home Server was originally announced. At the time, I was already using Windows OneCare Backup for my family's computers and I was using using Acronis for the computers I personally use on a daily basis. Acronis...

  • Benchmark Blog 12, The sequel: Twilight

    I just read on MSN that the director for Twilight will not be doing the sequel. So it may be worth seeing since they dropped him. Assuming that the actors were doing a poor job due to the director's instruction. I know it is a big assumption, but...

  • Benchmark Blog 13: Buzz Bake Sale 2008

    The family and I were in South Florida this weekend for Briana's state gym meet. My parents were in starting their vacation to the Keys, so they got to see her perform as well. I happened to check the local music scene, hoping to catch some band at...
