Our Picks of The Week
So I had a hearing today for an accident I was involved in back in October 2007. I was rear-ended by a gentleman who was intoxicated with not only alcohol, but also narcotics. Of course he left the scene. So we had to wait until about 12:30 for the trial to start, when it was scheduled for 11:15. But that’s not really the problem I have with the waisted time. This was only a pre-liminary hearing to see if there was enough evidence against the defendant for us to go to trial. So after having me there to testity as well as a Pennsylvania State Trooper, and a Sergeant from the Pocono Mountain Regional Police we are told that we have sufficient evidence to proceed to trial which will more then likely take place in May. There is actually a whole lot more to the whole thing, but that’s just a lot of typing, and some other information I would prefer not to publicly talk about at the moment.
Onto the next topic. The podcast is officially on iTunes now. It has not fully propegrated all of the feed information. We have most of it in there, but the album artwork has not been cached yet. We also have an explicit tag, so all of youngsters out there beware, it is not for your gentle ears. This week we are planning on covering some current tech topics, as well as some gaming issues. I will of course be talking about Windows Home Server as promised toward the end of last weeks episode. I should get back to work on my materials. I’m not really sure all of what I will be talking about. But maybe I will start to put up information I talk about on the Podcast up on the site here. I can even get like John C. Dvorak and plug my blog all the time.
That’s all I’ve got for the time being. I think I’m doing well on keeping up on my blog. I think I will try to post at least once a week, but I am really trying for almost everyday. Just depends on all of what I have to say.
