Igloo Dreams is running an article on how he thinks the Pens will win tonight. I will have to agree with him, the Pens have not won yet but they have fought hard so far, this could give them the one win to break their losing streak they are on. I hope Mario does not play tonight, that will help out allot. I will be having friends over tonight to watch the game. I still think the Pens will win by only 1 point tonight, and it will be a hard fought battle for the win.

Predators vs Coyotes

This game was a great game, the Coyotes were losing during the 3rd period, then on a 5 on 3 power play the make a goal that ties up the game. At the end of OT it was still tied at 4-4. It was a great game to watch, allot of good hockey being played on the ice, one of the few high scoring games that was still a good game. A lot of checking, and a few fights, most of them were just a small shove after the play was over, but there was about two fight during the game, that the refs had to break up.
After OT I turned the game off, because I still reject the shoot out, it has no place in hockey.

Tomorrow the Penguins are playing the Fliers. As I look at the stats at this time, I am thinking it might be a close game. But (maybe this is just wishfully thinking) I am going to go with Pittsburgh with the win, but they will only win by 1 point. I am wondering what my other friends that might like hockey think will happen with tomorrows game. This should break the Pens lossing streak if I am right.

I am finally starting to get caught up on my podcasts listening. As of 3 days ago I had 2.4 days of audio to listen to. I am now down to 1.2 days of audio. I hope to have it down to less then a day by the end of the day tomorrow. I also have added a new Podcast, its title is Irish and Celtic Music Podcast. I do like Irish music, especially when it has a good Irish Fiddle in it, so this sounds like it might be a fun Podcast to listen too.

Apple unveils video iPod

Comments: Comments Off on Apple unveils video iPod
Published on: October 12, 2005

I guess the rumors were right. I wonder will this mean that apple will be soon selling movies though the iTMS, if they do I guess they will have to rename it to iTS (iTunes store) I wonder what the prices will be, and will we be able to burn them to DVDs so we can watch them on normal DVD players connected to a real TV. I will admit when I watch a movie I don’t want to site in front of the computer, I would rather then site in a more comfortable chair to watch it.

Speaking of iTunes, on feature I would like to see, is that you can setup iTunes to copy all music to your iPod except the files that are in a special Play List. I have some podcasts that do not work though the iTunes podcast feature, I have to use a different program because they require validation since it is a subscription service, but when I put them in my iTunes music library, they are all loaded on the iPod, and I would like to have them not loaded to the iPod. Or a way to mass select some mp3’s and uncheck them so they will not be loaded to the iPod.

I got the stitches out today, I can now type again without the finger getting in the way. It took a little time for me to get use to bending the finger again since it was kept straight for about 10 days.

Finally the stitches come out today, I have a doctors appointment for 3pm today and the stitches should come out then. I can not want till they are out and I can type at my normal speed, having the lose of a finger for me is a pain. My typing speed is way down, and it feels like I am fighting my own finger when I try to type.

Vancouver vs Detroit

This was a good game. Detroit took the lead early in the first period. Vancouver then took the lead in the second period. Making the score 3-1. In the Third Detroit tied the game. Near the end of the period Vancouver takes the lead. At the end in the hope of tieing the game Detroit pulled their goalie, and with less then 3 seconds left a Vancouver play, makes a shot from center ice and scores on an empty net. It was a good game.

I did not check into the traffic net last night, but when I checked in tonight, I was informed that the traffic I sent from Columbus Oh on Sep 30 arrived to the destination yesterday (October 9) That is about 10 days for it to be delivered. I would have thought it would have taken 3 maybe 4 days to deliver. Oh well.

We are now on Hurricane Vince now. After this storm we only have one name left in the names this year. If we get 2 more named storms, we will have a stormed named Alpha. I half hope that we do get a storm with the name Alpha just for the fun of it. We still have just a little less then 2 months in the storm season.

Published on: October 9, 2005

My finger that I cut is starting to get very annoying. First it is preventing me from typing well. It is now itching and at some times it burns. Also I have been overly tired, and all I can think of is that it is the finger still healing. I slept allot yesterday, and I slept a bit more today. I am looking forward to Tuesday at 3pm when the stitches are scheduled to come out. I know that, that will not stop me from being tired but I will be able to use the finger again (I hope)
