Hate RealPlayer?

I found a program called Real Alternative (on this site) which installs the "Classic Media Player" and appropriate RealMedia codecs, and comes with plugins for Firefox and IE. It works fine, and no RealPlayer spy/bloatware.

Rest In Peace, Pop.

My grandfather, William L. Buck, Jr., passed away early in July, 2005 at the age of 88. I have been debating what to say or write about him, but nothing ever seems like it is good enough. My grandfather was the most kind, generous, even-tempered, friendly, and respectful person I have ever known. He was a true gentleman.

I know that he is at peace now, no longer struggling against illness, and finally able to be with his wife (who passed 15 years ago) and my mom, his daughter (8 years ago). I sure miss him. The world is a less desirable place to be without him here.

Statler and Waldorf

They're at it again! Statler and Waldorf are now reviewing current movies over at movies.com. Pepe the King Prawn also makes an appearance. I look forward to more reviews from these guys :)
