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 the shutdown.exe program has a serious flaw: It requires you to have administrator privileges. If you are a limited user with shutdown privileges, the shutdown.exe program 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
