One of the gifts that I gave Candace for her Valentine’s Day was she got to pick anywhere in the nation to spend my birthday. (Which happened to fall on Easter this year.) After thinking about MANY options, she finally decided to go to New England. She was curious
Webster’s has announced today that it will carry 58 new entries in their next edition of the Webster’s New World College Dictionary that will be out in May. There were two new entries that seemed especially interesting to me. The first word was “blog”. I’m glad to
In case you were wondering why the weather was so nice today, let me tell you. Today is the 57th birthday of James Taylor. That’s right, he’s a March birthday just like me. Happy Birthday James!
I think that it is the norm to not like your morning commute. People don’t like to battle with the traffic and people. So in that regard, I consider myself lucky. My morning routine is really quite pleasing to all of my senses. I like to get up just
Jack Johnson released his new album today. Jack Johnson is one of my favorite artists. He’s got a surfer feel to him playing the acoustic guitar and steady “smooth groove” beats. He also has a very relaxing voice. This album is called “In Between Dreams.” All of the songs
On my way to work this morning I decided I had to stop by the ATM. It was just after 5am so the streets were still dark and empty. I pulled into the ATM on Las Vegas Blvd and put my card in the machine. After entering my pin, I
The other day I got an email from my friend telling me about a cool site. It shows the popularity of a name in the last hundred years. It has a very slick interface. As you type the name in, it shows you how many babies per million were named
I took a quick spin up to Vancouver, BC yesterday. I had never really been to Canada. Well, I take that back. I did make it in to Canada when I visited Niagra Falls, but I don’t think that really counts. I just got far enough in to have
After making a map earlier this week of the states that I have been to, I decided that the NW and SE were too empty. So yesterday I took a flight up here to Seattle to meet my dad who is here on a business trip. So the updated map
There has been a new player introduced in the digital music world, and being known as the Apple spokesman in my circles, I thought that I would set things straight. The new vendor is actually an old name with a new service. Napster, known for igniting the music filesharing a
I think that I like gadgets as much as the next guy. My mom often reminds me that I don’t always have to have the latest and the greatest. (To which my reply is, “Yes, yes I do.”) For instance, I would really like one of the new Mac
I found a neat new site that will keep track of your travels for you and color in the states as you visit them. It will also work for countries that you visit. The site is www.world66.com. I spent a couple minutes and made a map for myself.
I just came across the coolest commercial that I have ever seen. It is a commercial by Volkswagen for the old/new Golf GTI. The Golf is an old car that was really popular, but it has been redone for 2005. In order to show that, they took another old
Each time I write posts on this blog I send out about 300 emails to people who have asked me to keep them updated on when I write. This has posed a couple problems. #1) Those emails take a lot of time. #2) There is no way for a person
I know that usually I will write about music that I like, but this time I don’t know. There is an album by “The Streets” called “A Grand Don’t come Easy” and I just can’t tell if I like it or not. I enjoy listening to it
I received an incredible email from a friend of mine serving with the Marines in Iraq. He was writing about a speech by Gen. Michael W. Hagee who was the Marine Corps Commandant over the marine who was videotaped shooting that Iraqi in the Mosque a couple months ago. General
