Where did 2009 go? I’m not really sure, but it feels like I’ve blinked and another decade has passed. The wife and I packed up everything and visited the family on the east coast. For the first time in years, there was snow on the ground, and not just a light powdering either. [...] There’s a science museum close that the wife and I have had the pleasure of visiting several times. We are both geeks and love going to these places. That’s why it was totally awesome to hear about this world touring BBC dinosaur show, “Walking With Dinosaurs – The Arena Spectacular“, that was going [...]  July 23rd, 2009 | Category: personalWhat it was, I’m not entirely sure, but starting about two weeks ago I heard some horrid coughs at work. “Holy crap..”, I thought. “Someone is hacking up a black lung in the other room.” By that evening I had light coughs, but I still thought nothing of it. By the [...] For a while now I’ve been meaning to do a whole revision on the website. This will be the 8th major version. After getting back from the studio on friday, I had a quick dinner, then proceeded to put a good night’s work into getting it done. By 5am on Saturday I [...] June 14th, 2009 | Category: personalThis is very tasty, and is the fullest flavored milk I’ve had in a while. I’ve lived in different parts of the country and never saw the brand before, so I assume it’s probably a local one from local farms, hence the awesome taste. The natural stuff tastes more like the food I remember eating [...] I’m a big fan of all the Godzilla flicks, so today the Mrs. and I thought it would be….wait, let me rephrase that. “I” thought it would be fun to finally watch the glory that is Godzilla 2000. Just be happy you weren't around after the spicy meal…. The included party were quickly converted from [...] Never have I seen a creature like this in real life, so the experience was an interesting one. I remember back in grade school going to a museum in Canada near the Niagara Falls to be greeted by a whole floor full of mutated animals. It wasn’t Ripley’s either, ironically. The menagerie of creatures [...] Happy 2009 everyone. We went to visit family this year and had a great time. We’re off to see a parade here in a couple of hours, so for now I only have pictures of the hotdog dog, a highly interesting species of animal. The creature was spotted by Jiovis and her camera [...] YouTube recently announced on their blog the ability to stream HD video, so I decided to find out what the recommended requirements were straight off the Help Center. This past summer I picked up the Canon Vixia HF100 and was waiting for them upgrade to get some of my clips online in a resolution closer [...] Probably not too smart of a move, but I’ve been cooking virtual food on the DS before bed for the past few days. The sound effects and graphics are good, so that makes a human tummy growl. Cooking Mama claps her hands and gets starry eyed when you do an exceptional job. If it weren’t for [...] November 16th, 2008 | Category: personalWe got a little concerned this weekend when the check engine light was flashing on the car’s dashboard. With the recent drop in temperature, I had an idea of what was probably causing it. Cold weather air contracts and brings the PSI down. Most standard-size car tires maximum PSI is around 44. You can find your [...] After putting in a day’s work, I headed off to vote. If you haven’t done it yet, make sure to get out to your local precinct and caste your ballot. Not too long ago my friend Joe sent this funny video to myself and others relating to the election. Hahaha. I was tricked at first and [...] October 25th, 2008 | Category: personalApparently somebody thinks Mr. Nico looks like a certain Mr. Bear. Notice the fine attention to details, such as the uneven facial hair and the Masters of the Universe t shirt. My favorite nuance would have to be the epic struggle between stickman Skeletor and He-Man below the logo of the animated series. Who crafted this remarkably [...] One Saturday morning I woke up to an odd barking noise outside. A lot of our neighbors have dogs and take them for walks in the morning, so naturally I thought Sparky was the source of the commotion. Scanning the ground yielded no visual confirmation. Instead, my eyes were directed up to [...] September 20th, 2008 | Category: personalI’ve never seen hot air balloons launch in real life before. I guess it’s because I’m not an early rise person. I’m glad I went against my nature to see them take off yesterday morning at 6:30am from a mist covered field. My favorite balloon of the entire show was the dragon one. The happy dragon [...] |
