My movie collection was 624. It is now 1280.

Thanks to the fact that some of my new movies were unplanned additions though, I've still got about 75 movies still on my list waiting to be acquired.

I complete my training here in Dahlgren on Monday. Then I graduate on the 22nd, and finally leave this place. So I'll have to make the acquisition of the remaining films snappy.

I've got orders to the USS Antietam CG 54, stationed in San Diego. Though if I'm lucky and the rumors turn out to be true, it will be switching its homeport to Yokosuka, Japan sometime in the near future.

Finally, after being in the Navy for approaching 2 years, I'm going to a ship. I'll be a lot busier, and i'll get a lot less sleep, but I can't wait.

In other news, I installed the Windows 8 Developer Preview on my Mac a few days ago. Haven't played with it a whole lot, maybe an hour or two, but it's pretty cool. They need to improve navigating the Metro UI for keyboard/mouse users a bit though. Other than that, it's really great. I can envision people having tablet PCs as their only PCs in the future. Plug it into a dock that allows you to use external peripherals like keyboards, mice and monitors, and you've got yourself an OS perfect for traditional desktop work in Windows 8. Unplug it and Windows 8 is a great OS for tablet functionality.

Apple seems to be going in this direction of unifying their desktop and mobile operating systems too, but they're doing it at a much slower pace. Microsoft has beaten them to the punch in creating an OS that's great for both desktops and tablets with Windows 8. Apple needs to step it up a notch.
