Welcome to the Microsoft Store

Seems strangely familiar. This is what happens when a company needs to catch up yet has no original ideas on how to do so.

Host Your Own Awful Party For Windows 7

Hard to believe this is real. If I hadn’t switched years ago, I’d be switching today.

It’s been five years and somehow, it still feels like yesterday.

And it was simply f@#king brilliant.

October 20, 2004. Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. Final score: Red Sox 10, Yankees 3.

Red Sox fans will forever remember it as their day of redemption, the victory that made the deep, personal investment of time and emotion through so many seasons worthwhile at last.

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped, and summer was gone.

Wait ‘til Next Year (and this being my fortieth summer, my favorite poem has never been more appropriate).
