BSG Freaking Rocked!
The show has been more of a drama than a Scifi space flick, but it was a nice surprise to see all the beautiful effects and action shots in laast nights episode….Great Show and an awesome wrap for the opening to Season 3.

Wow…I like it. Not that a lot has changed, however the look has a bit. What I am most impressed with is the speed improvements and the spell check in text boxes.

IE7 Tomorrow?
From what I have read, IE7 will be shipped out tomorrow to everyone that gets automatic updates from Microsoft.
There are a lot of people that have used ONLY IE6 for some time, I can only imagine that this is going to be a shock to the system for a lot of users. Figure that a lot of end users flip out if the slightest thing is out of place already, and now to give them a whole different interface to thier browser? I don’t have a good feeling about this.
BSG Tonight!
W00T!
