So the replacement drive lasted about 15 months.  The ... http://blogospeer.com/archives/538 I have way too may posts on backlog, but I did have to share this one.  This would be a great use of my Windows Home Server and a better reason to get more home theater stuff.  I wonder if I would need to get approval from the HOA?

This website will allow you ... http://blogospeer.com/archives/531 Well, today is BOS' third birthday.  So, Happy Birthday! I finally thought of the perfect url on the 11th and Blogospeer went live on the 12th.  It has certainly been a ride.  The ride, of late, has pretty much stopped, but I have posts in the back of my head just ... http://blogospeer.com/archives/529 It has been over a month since my last post.  Have I run out of things to write about?  Nope, there's plenty.  MY list of topics includes: other cancer treatment problems, my last doctor's visit, Relay for Life, and other things.  So what will I post about now?  Complete drivel.  ... http://blogospeer.com/archives/527 Happy Birthday Honey!  I can't believe you are finally 40!  I love you!  I leave this video for you!
