Nowhere Nevada

Carson City rarely gets foggy conditions.  I had family in Pacifica California and remember the fog they get there almost daily.  It is so thick there you can't see farther than around 3 feet in front of you at times.  The kind of fog we do get in Eagle Valley during the winter is nothing compared to some places in the world but it is an interesting change.  The video below is of my bicycle commute this morning.

I also hiked up Duck Hill on Saturday and here are some pictures of the fog we had that morning.

For the first time in a while I am really stoked about a Microsoft product.  Not since Microsoft Flight Simulator X have they created something this cool.  I have beta tested this operating system at work for the past six months but I am pleasantly surprised with the final product.  I have not received one error message all day and have installed my programs in half the time it took with XP.  I am now able to take advantage of Direct X 11, making a skip from DX9 and I'm blown away at the clarity of Left 4 Dead.  It's definitely worth the upgrade.  Just make sure your system can run it.  Mine looks like this:

ABIT IP35 Pro
GeForce 8800GTS
2GB Corsair XMS Memory (I have 2 more gigs coming in the mail, but so far, I'm running very very smoothly)
WD Caviar Blue 350gig SATA HD
WD MyBook 350gig SATA HD (It used to be a MyBook but the USB controller died and it was extracted from it's plastic shell and internalized)
Corsair 650W power supply (upgrading that to 800W soon for good measure)
