Weekend Games, Clothing and a New Painter to Ponder

Game to Play for Android

Hills of Glory: 3D is a game for android phones and tablets that has been highly reviewed.  I plan to give it a try since I am interested in World War II and can afford to waste a little time.

Below is the trailer for the game:

New Clothing
Part of the deal I made with myself a little more than a year ago is that I will purchase a new article of team apparel each time a sports team I follow begins a season.  Now that the Padres have started their 2013 season, I pulled the trigger and purchased a black on black Padres cap.

New Artist
The Brooks Art Museum in Memphis, TN will be hosting an exhibit of Carol Coar's paintings starting at the beginning of June, 2013.  Click here to see for yourself.  I plan to brush up on my knowledge of this painter this weekend.  Below are some of the images she created, which captured my attention:

Here you can view more of the paintings of Carol Coar.

Updated on December 4, 2013: It has come to my attention that a black hat is a term used to connote an individual who is involved in illegal computer activities. I thought I was just posting a photo of a hat.  Opps.

California Quirks

California News:

"California merchants may not ask customers who pay with credit cards for their ZIP codes, the California Supreme Court decided" - so why is it that I'm still prompted to enter my zip code before I can purchase gas using the machines at gas stations?

Getting the Numbered Keypad to Work Again:

If you happen to still be using Windows XP and the number pad on your keyboard stops working, instead of getting a hacksaw out and cutting the numbers off of the right side of your keyboard, try this:

1. Start 
2. Control Panel 
3. Accessibility Options 
4. Mouse 
5. uncheck "Use MouseKeys" 
6. Settings 
7. "Use MouseKeys When NumLock Is:" (select Off) 
8. Apply 
9. OK

Then use NumLock to use the number keys.

*If you use an Apple computer, just ask your manservant to throw out your current computer and buy and buy a new one if the number pad stops working.
