I had the immense pleasure of seeing King's X live in Charlottesville, VA at the Satellite Ballroom on October 23. I never thought I'd see the day when these hard rockers played in DMB land. One of the interesting things about the show is that they played their entire new album, and only a handful of their classic songs. Pretty ballsy on their part. Since I haven't yet bought the new album, most of the songs were new to me and a little hard to get into. But I liked what I heard...and felt. It was extremely loud and heavy. I felt it in my chest all night long. After the show I briefly met the band and got an autographed poster. Awesome. Long live the Kings.

Did you know you can create PDF files for free? Until recently, I didn't. I thought you had to blow $300 on Adobe Acrobat. Not so. Turns out there's free software called CutePDF that allows any Windows application to create a PDF file. All you need is a converter such as Ghostscript, which is also free, and you're good to go. Whenever you want to create a PDF file, simply open the print dialog in whatever application you're using (Word, Excel, etc.), select "CutePDF Writer" as your printer, and click OK. Boom...PDF. I've used it several times now and it works wonderfully.
