I have been planning on blogging about these beef ribs for awhile. I did a BBQ up for the guys a couple months back and I did these beef ribs plus 7 racks of pork ribs in the Weber Smokey Mountain. As you can see they can out looking great and tasted even better.
I also grilled picanha on my other Weber ( a weber Performer) so they could have some appetizers. Throw in a couple kegs and it was a great afternoon!
So I have been planning to build a PC to record the beautiful (and free) HDTV I am able to get over the air (OTA, Terrestrial, etc) here in Toronto. This would be in my living room, so I would want it to be as quiet as possible. Here is what I am thinking to buy. I already purchased the TV Tuner Card. Any thoughts or other options would be appreciated.

My friendly neighborhood architect sent me this note on how to disable my touch pad. I hope others find it helpful as well.
I find the touch pad to be a pain – I accidentally hit it when typing.
To disable it you likely need to install an updated drive (ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/input/R165804.exe), restart, and then choose the touch pad settings from the mouse settings in the control panel, and then choose touchpad ‘Device select’ and disable the pad when the USB mouse is plugged.
