Less then a month now....

So its less then a month now before I'll be a dad. Hard to believe that it's already been 9 months. My wife is ready for the little guy to come out.

I've been thinking a lot lately and the one thing that sticks out in my mind is that becoming a parent will truly change your life. Because of the little guy, and let me remind you he has yet to arrive.
1. I'm back in school working toward my Bachelor's degree
2. I'm eating healthier and starting to work out.
3. I'm trying to be wiser about my money
4. Baby proofing my house...

Well here's to my son, when ever you arrive, thank you for kicking me in the ass to get me ass in gear.

PC Update time

So I've been thinking about updating some stuff to my pc. I really been wanting to make the jump to a quad core, I think AMD finally has a proc that I've been waiting for. It's a black edition running at 3.0 GHz, but what I've seen online it can o.c. to a 4.0 GHz.
The components...
AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz Black Edition
GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-UD4H
Radeon HD 4870 1GB

Now it's just a matter of talking the preggo wife into letting me do it...

Update Update

So it's been a while...

My wife is 12 weeks along now... Due date of Sept. 22.

I currently back in school... It's kicking my a$$. When I get down my degree will be Computer Info Systems with emphasis in Database Administration.

I tried in my grand am and picked up a 06 trailblazer. I've been pretty happy with it. Cheaper on the insurance and more baby friendly.

8 weeks....

Windows 7 Public beta

I recently downloaded a public beta of the next Windows OS, ie. Windows 7. This is suppose to be a fairly stable version without to many bugs. The beta is good till 7-2009. I'm dual booting it on my laptop with vista. So far its about as fast as my vista install. Click the link below for the download. Click Here

I also include a screenshot. Looks like vista.
