30 Seconds to Mars – The Kill (Bury Me)
2005
We the Kings – Check Yes Juliet
Reboot PC via MSTSC
These next two tricks are documented and will continue to work in future versions of Windows:
If you’re a command line person, you can run
shutdown.exe, but that program supports only shutdown and restart; it doesn’t do stand-by or hibernate. But theshutdown.exeprogram has a serious flaw: It requires you to have administrator privileges. If you are a limited user with shutdown privileges, theshutdown.exeprogram will complain. (Which means that I don’t use it.)Finally, if your computer isn’t using Fast User Switching, you can type the Ctrl+Alt+End hotkey, which is the Remote Desktop version of Ctrl+Alt+Del and consequently takes you to a dialog where you can do various system-type things, among them logging off and shutting down.
Alternate Reality Gaming – Redux
I met Jane McGonigal the year she and her ARG associates at 4orty2wo Entertainment ran the Halo 2 marketing ARG [i.e., I Love Bees]. Now, Jane is making the news solo with a new ARG [CNN: Urgent Evoke] intended to encourage people to take an active role in improving the real world by taking part in some community outreach program with a focus on problems in Africa.
Cheers Jane for a wonderful experience as a beekeeper (the ARG was way better than the game it advertised, Halo 2), glad to see you’re doing well.
Corporal Mazian, Beekeeper
(names & ranks were self chosen, a lot of people chose high ranking positions. But let’s be honest, not everyone gets to be a general or admiral.)
Seether – Breakdown
The MP3 widget on the other hand is going to be very useful down the road when I decide to start purchasing a bunch of music (probably not for all of 2010, but, after…)
Breaking Benjamin – I Will Not Bow
Apparently this was in Surrogates. What’s hilarious about this post is that I was thinking “I don’t check PayPerView very often, but eventually my schedule and Surrogate’s schedule would align” and sure enough, two days after I scheduled this post my fiance says “Surrogates is on PPV, would you be interested in watching it?” I busted out laughing.
Three Days Grace – Break
I’m finding I’m really enjoying this band a lot.
Flyleaf – Again
Paramore – Brick By Boring Brick
Muse – Resistance
This year even
