"still here" post

Yes, I'm still here and active online, but just not posting on this blog as much since I've been more active with my NASCAR blog lately.

IndyCar driver Justin Wilson dies

English IndyCar driver Justin Wilson has died one day after his involvement in a crash with rookie Sage Karam at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania. The four-time race winner was 37. This is IndyCar's first death since that of two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon, also from England, during the 2011 season finale in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Summer vacation time

I'm off to Myrtle Beach! As I've mentioned elsewhere, my 93-year-old grandmother lives down there (she actually lives in North Myrtle). This is my first trip there in two years and my brothers' first time there in three. We're staying at some Holiday Inn condo place. I hope to take full advantage of this trip.

Windows 10 is here

Microsoft has dropped their new operating system Windows 10. It is the successor to Windows 8.1, and will feature a new Start menu/Start screen-hybrid as its main new feature. It will also include Microsoft Edge, Microsoft's new web browser intended to replace Internet Explorer (Edge was actually codenamed Internet Explorer 12). It was named Windows 10 instead of Windows 9 to avoid compatibility issues with the Windows 9x family (Windows 95, NT 4.0, 98 and ME). A lot of consumers apparently hope that Windows 10 will be "a lot better" than Windows 8.

2015 is half over

It's crazy that we're already halfway through 2015. Halfway to the year 2016. Tomorrow, July 1, will mark the beginning of the second half of the year. It seems like my life just gets crazier every year. But who cares?!

A week to remember for Supreme Court decisions
