Thanks!

I just wanted to thank you for sticking with this blog even though it has sucked over the past year. I am going to make (another) push to keep this thing updated more often.

Again, thank you... both of you.

A quick lesson...

Bad Photographer... no biscuit.


Good photographer. Kudos and accolades! See what 2 steps to the left will do for a picture.

The sad part of all of this, is I bet these were both taken by the same photographer. Thumbs up for politico for using the better one, and thumbs down to AP for going with the other.

From the Department of HELZ YEAH!

Nick Fury Goodness!

This just adds to my theory that you can never have too much Samuel L. Jackson. And that by adding Sam Jackson to anything only makes it better. Now, if we could only get Nick Fury to somehow become a ninja....

Death by Facebook

So, Facebook is really killing my motivation to post here lately. Just thought you should know.

Spread thin

NEED. MORE. TIME.

Watching TV with my beautiful wife, Warcraft, the Mame Cabinet, this blog, Lilly, my poor lonely website, my new Facebook page, Violet, the geneology project, my DVR, Rockband Drum Addiction, a new sculpture idea, and tax season.

Jeesh, it's any wonder I have time to go to work.

Football Fix

Well, now that football season is over, it is time for a fun diversion until it comes back. A friend of mine turned me onto Goal Line Blitz.

It is basically a MMORPG. You can pick which position you want to play and pick the stats for you player, and then join a team, or if you get a few levels under your belt, you will get contract offers and such. I enjoy it, and it only take about 5 minutes a day to keep the players updated, and trained.

If ya wanna play, use this link to sign up, I get referral points for friends joining. Here is a FAQ guide for what positions there are and what stats they use to get you started. Season 7 is about to wrap up, and Season 8 will be starting soon. Maybe I will get out of the Pee-Wee leagues this season.

Have fun, and maybe I will see you on the gridiron!

My new radio

I don't listen to the radio anymore. Nor do I listen to my iTunes. Now the only thing I listen to music on is Pandora. It is unbelievable. I made a quick mix channel of "Violent Femmes, They Might Be Giants, and the Talking Heads" 5 hours later, I have yet to hear a song I haven't loved. I want to get an iPhone, just so I can take Pandora with me everywhere... Plus it is helping me find some new bands to fill my iTunes up with. My music library is getting pretty stale.

Where did that 2 hours go?

The game is very simple, click once, and try to get the maximum number of dots to hit your dot. Kiss the next 3 hours goodbye, sucker!

Boomshine

Priceless...

I had a sales guy walk into my office wanting some CDs duplicated with custom labels. He asked what format I needed the label in. I told him whatever he wanted to send it in, I have alot of toys I can probably open whatever he had. His response is the quote of the day:

"Cool, I will send you something, I am pretty creative."

Sales people are so cute like that. I got $5 that says it is sent to me via a powerpoint slide that he imported into Word, and it is about 15kb. "That should work for a 4.7x4.7 inch image at 300dpi, right?"
