It’s been eleven Sunday’s since we left our last church. The hunt for a new one has been less than satisfactory. Of course, in those eleven weeks, we’ve experienced only 5 churches and skipped a service all together a grand total of seven weeks (7+5=12 weeks, but one of the churches we ‘experienced’ was online, which we quickly eliminated from our list of candidates. It [...]

Mac (3yr old) has this new game she likes to play with me. It doesn’t have a name yet, so we’ll call it “Laughter All Around at the Expense of Daddy” It’s great fun! It all started in Branson. We were eating hotdogs and chips and started talking about how good everything was (because i love me some hotdogs and chips). I’m trying to instill [...]

I know… I’m awesome… just soak it in, guys… soak it in …

First off… Congrats to Jonathan and Meredith on their new baby boy!
Now, enjoy the slideshow of Branson 2008 (click to view larger, nicer versions):

I know i know, it’s technically not even summer yet (June 21st, i think), but I can’t think that way. I’m 27 years old, but i still see summer as a break of sorts, especially now that I’m back in school. I tend to check out mentally, focus on nothing but entertaining myself or my kids, which is needed from time to time… But i [...]

Well… here we are… we timed the driving perfect, arriving in the Dallas area right at 5:00 PM on a friday evening, signifying a return to city life. I learned a few things on the drive home that I would like to share with you:
1) When I’m prepared for mountainous/curvy/roller-coaster-esque driving, I do not let nervousness set in. When it came upon me on the [...]

Its 11:00 PM local time, I’m hi-jacking some poor guys bandwidth who is sharing his wireless with the world (thank you “Wizard15″ wherever you are). This isn’t the first time this week I’ve latched on to his signal… Its a low connection, but it gets the job done and beats walking up to the office every night. On to the fun stuff:
Sunday, Branson Day 2: [...]

The Drive: Well, we’re here… we arrived Friday afternoon around 4. The drive itself wasn’t that bad, we made great time through Texas, Oklahoma and all the way the Fayetteville AK, where we stopped for lunch. You’d think with classes out for the summer the home of the Razorbacks wouldn’t be so crowded, but the traffic in the town was ridiculous. We headed north on [...]

There is something intriguing about MMA (click if you’re out of the loop)… It’s modern day Gladiators with a few rules. I’ve been pretty adamant against the UFC/WEC popularity for a few reasons, the biggest being how imitative the sport is. There are stories and videos of kids/teenagers staging their own MMA bouts with no adult supervision… basically backyard brawls leaving kids battered, bruised, and [...]

Most people have heard of the Blue Screen of Death… if you have an early gen XBox 360, you may be familiar with the Red Ring of Death. Basically in the first two generations, the console would either overheat or not heat up enough, eventually causing a hardware failure which resulted in this pretty little guy:

The racket was simple. Even if they had to fix [...]
