Windows “Blue”

Windows Blue: Microsoft’s plan to release a new version of Windows every year

“Windows Blue is [...] a major update to Windows 8, and also the beginning of a major shift that will result in a major release of Windows every 12 months — just like Apple’s OS X. Blue will roll out mid-2013, and will be very cheap — or possibly even free”

er, Microsoft… you’re a software company, you make your money selling… software. Apple can give away or charge only $20 for their OS because they’re a hardware company and make huge margins on said hardware to offset the software development cost. You don’t have that luxury.

Just putting that out there.

The King and His Court

After hurricane Irene came through and flooded our basement, we had a lot of stuff to sort through. One of the things I found was an autographed program and game ball from when The King and His Court played the Poultney softball All-star team. I had fond memories of the game. My father pitched for Poultney and I remember Poultney leading 2-0 through the first three innings or so. Then the “Court” started hitting balls out of the park, deep into the woods. I had watched many many men’s softball games at that field and never saw anyone hit over the fence, let alone into the woods.

After I found the program, I was wondering what ever happened to that team? I found their site, linked above, and they played their last game the Friday before I rediscovered them. Funny timing.
