Jerry Reed – R.I.P.

Jerry Reed was in one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, and it holds up now, Smokey and the Bandit.  He passed-away on Monday.  His agent had a great quote about him, “He’s one of the greatest entertainers in the world. That’s the way I feel about him.”  Today, I’ll agree with [...]

2008 Aggie Football Preview… We Stink.

Yeah, the title says it all. This 2008 Aggie Football Preview is not going to be positive. The only thing Aggie fans have to look forward to is our running back corps. And the problem was, that as good as the RBs were last year, the stinkin’ QB lead the team in rushing yards. WTH! [...]

Noah Starts School…

My big guy, Noah, started kindergarten today.  We made it a family affair.  I worked my schedule so we all could walk Noah to school and then pick him up at 3pm when he finished today.  He did GREAT!  He marched in and was really excited to start. Last year he did a Mon, Wed, [...]

Barack Sucks and Biden Knows It…

I have a question for all the Democrats/Socialists/Communists (I toss in Socialists and Communists because that is clearly Barack’s plan for America) out there… DO YOU REALLY THINK BIDEN WAS A GOOD CHOICE? If memory serves me…  Biden was quoted barely over a year ago saying that Barack was, “not ready” to be our president.  [...]

Follow me on Twitter…

A couple few weeks ago I got a Twitter account.  I wasn’t really sure what I was gonna do with it, or how often I’d post (tweet).  Well, I’ve come to enjoy “tweeting” and find that it takes the place of some of the stuff I would blog about.  With blogging I’ve occasionally said, “that [...]

No Cuil in Cuil…

Cuil still can’t find themselves…  The Cuil search engine launched today and numerous people are pointing out that when you google cuil in the cuil search engine (did you like how I used the term google when talking about searching on cuil?  yeah, it was a bad joke.  sorry.) you don’t find anything about the [...]

Cuil Sucks…

So I saw the article on cnn.com about cuil.  I read the article and said, Hmm… lets take a look.  The first annoying thing is that they are using the word, cuil, for their search engine.  The word means nothing to me.  I don’t know how to spell it, OR pronounce it.  So the people [...]

Post from WP iPhone App

I’m testing out the new WP iPhone App. It’s pretty cool. I guess this is one of the first writing/publishing apps for the iPhone. I’ll definitely need to work on my iPhone keyboarding skills before I start using this on a regular basis.

Spent the evening working with flickr…

Man was I behind publishing family pics up to the flickr site!  I hadn’t done anything since Christmas/New Years.  I did a bit a week or so and realized I had a full day still to get caught up.  So after a nice lunch at iFratelli’s with Mom and Rolfe I sat down and got [...]
