The life and Times of Colonel Joe Blackwell

Colonel Joseph Blackwell served his country with honor up to his death at the age of eighty from wounds gotten in his final gun battle in the defense of young woman he was assign to protect. A day does not go by that I don't see some little thing that brings his memories back to me. It is not that the Colonel served his country so long but that he serve it so well. Few people you will meet in you life that will have a powerful effect on you and for me it was the Colonel. His death sadden me but the lessons I learn from my brief time knowning him will last me till the day I die.

finish setting up on touch pad

Just finished setting up Windows live writer on touch pad, still some doubt it will be around with Windows 8 launch but until then I will play with it.

Book writing

Finally manage to get the main characters started but the most important one the villain is coming along nicely. Whole thing will reflect the way he loves to gamble on things.

Anyway, wrote the whole thing using Visio. It gives me a chance to learn the software while accomplishing something. Got a book about it and started studying it.

Cancel my Audible account, been waiting months for their app for Windows phone. Just can’t see me carrying seven inch tablet while doing house working or yard work. I’ll miss them. Guess I’ll just listen to podcast now.

Read somewhere that tech guys that if you get Windows RT, it will cost the manufacturers 85 dollars. A course that includes office which would cost you 99 dollar just for it. Beside there will probably be a lot atom processor tablets running just Windows 8 than run less then you can buy Office for them if you want them. Must be a slow news day.
