Go Girlacher!
My sister has been playing women’s tackle football for 7 or so years for the St. Louis Slam. She’s been the league’s player of the year, and won numerous awards and recognition – mostly for having more tackles than anyone else in the league. She proudly wears 54, and boasts about being called “Girlacher” after [...]
Michael Jackson Died Today
Just found out that Michael Jackson died and have been watching the news. Although it’s certainly not funny, the rush of the media has made for some interesting quotes/occurances… CNN Reporter: “Michael Jackson had a following a lot like the Greatful Dead…” (I don’t think anyone would confuse deadheads with MJ fans) Turned on E! [...]
Busy Working on a Bunny Project
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and I know everyone says it, but I really have been super busy lately. I’ve been studying for an insurance exam – which I passed today – and have had several projects going on. The one that’s been, without a doubt, the most fun is this one…. enjoy [...]
Cinco de Mayo
A friend passed this along and I thought it was great… Celebrating a victory over the French is like celebrating a nap. HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

It’s free as long as you use it to contact other Skype users through the service… however, you can pay [...]
Vending Touchscreen
As I mentioned in an earlier post about touchscreen technologies we saw at CES, touchscreens were being applied from cell phones to computers and netbooks. However, there was one application I failed to mention – retail vending. As seen in the photo here, Coke worked with touchscreen technology to create a vending machine for their [...]
CES 2009
I’m getting ready to head to the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. All of the new technology toys, tools, and gadgets will be on display there – too bad Christmas is over. I’ll try and give some updates on the stuff I see and do while there. Vegas baby, Vegas.
Loving Skype
I’ve had Skype for a while now, but could never find anyone else I knew on their search tool. Finally, over the holidays my brother-in-law mentioned he had it as well. We used it to video conference with his family a few times over the holidays. It was great to be able to see them [...]
Winnie the Pooh
I sat down tonight to watch Christmas movies with the kids – we’ve been enjoying ABC Family’s 25 days of Christmas. Tonight we watched Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too. I never noticed it growing up, but all the characters on Winnie the Pooh sound and act like they’re 80 years old.
