PC Upgrade update.

Mrs. Hoffman put on The Polar Express for a couple kids we're babysitting for a couple days. I have tried watching that movie countless times, I still think it's one of the most over-hyped movies I've ever seen because it makes absolutely no sense.

It’s a great Christmas children’s book and a creepy movie.

It’s a great Christmas children’s book and a creepy movie.

So, file this in "great books that were made into [really] shitty movies." Somehow, this makes the movie make more sense.

Good place for this.

Remember one-time prospect, Yannick Veilleux?

He wasn’t a bad player, but was out of control at times.

He was just coming back from a 2-game suspension and then kneed an opposing player and got four more games out.

I was just thinking about him the other day and was surprised to find that he was still kicking around the AHL. I figured he had either gone to Europe or was out of hockey.

I know for sure the term I used to describe him back when he as with the Wolves was “unhinged”. I watched him play many times.

I followed him in junior because he was on the same team as Jaskin and Barbashev and he was like that back then.

If you ever want to watch a completely stupid movie with Nicolas Cage, check out Willy's Wonderland. You'll probably enjoy it more if you like the FNAF games.

My Great Uncle wrote a book that was adapted into a movie that Nicholas Cage was in. Birdy is the name of it.

Curious how Monty Python got it's name? Here's what my wife recorded last night:

When I have some time, I will find the notes I took on Birdy and post them.

Quotes from 'Birdy' by William Wharton (pen name):

"Now I think. I know. Know. Think. Nothing."

"Must not listen. To hear something, must not listen. To see something, must not look. To know something, must not think. To tell something, must not listen."

"The earth turns and we are caught. The weight invades and we struggle in a cage of shifting tons."

"No one knows more than they have to know. All of us locked in gravity graves."

"I break inside my aloneness to knowledge; a billowing of an air current; a movement toward necessity."

"To bend the tree or fill the sail is nothing. Knowledge only, not knowing. A bird knows the air without knowledge."

"I want to make real this that I know and can't hold. I'm pulled down. The earth in me is strong; the drifting is in my bones."

Has anyone used the new Bally Sports app? I have to use the app on nights when there is any other Midwest sporting event on, as I get Fox Sports Indiana where the Blues are 50th on the priority list for team's they cover but still blacked out anywhere else I try to watch.

It was fine with Fox Sports Go. However, they just updated the app from Fox Sports Go to Bally sports. It told me to go to Ballysports.com/activate and enter a code. But that asks for a Bally sports account and password which I do not have. When I go to the Bally sports root page hoping to create an account, it says coming soon.

Anyone figured this stuff out so I can at least watch a replay of tonight's game? Thanks in advance.

Edit: I can watch it on my web browser at Fox sports. So I am good for tonight. I'd prefer my TV app though if anyone has figured this out.

This is a song that reminds me of my true love lost

 

[bluesXwinXtheXcup]

The first time ever on a Naval vessel and this song was played every morning at 0700 by a guy in my shop (6 month cruise).

Hey computer nerds!!!

I just bought a brand new iMac and videos on NHL.com are not playing. Long-time Mac user.

Adobe Flash is no longer a thing, so what is NHL.com using? ffs

Is it some Java script? What do I need to do?

It doesn't seem like a permissions issue.

Plays fine on my ancient iPhone 6s. I've been playing NHL.com videos on my phone for quite a while, I guess and missed the updates.

Not playing on my laptop either.

Help please!
