Here in the good old state of Tennessee it is a rare day to get any amount of significant snow. The last snow event that amounted to more than about three inches of the white stuff occured in 2003. That should give you some idea of what I mean. Now, being a Tech Geek and proud, badge wearing computer Nerd, I decided to make a list of what myself an my buddies did today as we received over 10 inches of the white stuff. Here goes :
1. Used Remote Desktop Protocal to connect to our work PCs from our home PCs through our corporate Terminal Services Gateway server.
2. Helped stranded coworkers stuck in their homes connect to the
Microsoft Outlook Web Access Exchange Portal
3. Use spare laptop with internal wireless card to connect XBOX 360 to your wireless router.
4. Tweak DSLR camera ISO speed to take high resolution images of your snowy driveway.
5. Post numerous FaceBook updates on how much snow is in the general area
6. Use Google to look up ways to make Ramen Noodles more ”exciting”
7. Set up a group chatroom for the rest of the office gang that are working from home so it would feel more like everyone is together in the office.
8. Loaded the Lord of the Rings soundtrack on your kids MP3 players
9. Pay bills online
and last but surely not least,
10. Two Words MASS EFFECT 2
From earliest times people wore masks when droughts or other disasters struck. They believed that the demons who had brought their misfortune upon them would become frightened off by the hideous masks. Even after the festival of Samhain had merged with Halloween, Europeans felt uneasy at this time of the year. Food was stored in preparation for the winter and the house was snug and warm. The cold, envious ghosts were outside, and people who went out after dark often wore masks to keep from being recognised.
Myself I always loved the idea that at this time of the year like no other I could don a costume and mask and be unknown for a night. When I was a kid I loved going to one of th big retail chains and seeing the boxes upon boxes of plastic halloween masks. Yes they actually came in boxes! Check out a few of these vintage masks. Ahh the memories..
