Came across an article in my news feed today talking about a new engine that is based on a concept from a 1930 engine that could increase automobile gas mileage up to nearly one hundred miles per gallon! That seems pretty crazy, but the article references the different structure of the piston chamber reducing weight…

More Thoughts on The Church
In response to my post “Don’t Go To Church?” I received one comment from a good friend via e-mail. He is a great guy, with a great Jesus-like heart for people, and a humble heart like not many I have seen. I am glad to call him my friend. We have very different backgrounds in…
Tecmo Superbowl
Pretty sure I have mentioned here that I am a fan of old video games, and the king of all of those games – at least in the sports genre – is Tecmo Superbowl for the Nintendo NES. A friend sent me a link to a video today (first one below) and I found the…
Ryan Miller Speaks Chinese?
I heard about this a while ago… just saw it today on the Sabres website. Ryan Miller trash talking… in Chinese. š I heard an interview where the reporters asked him to say it again. It was funny. He said he just said it over and over about 50 times and just can’t forget it…
Macworld 2008
It’s that time of year again, the annual Macworld Conference and Expo is going on starting today in San Francisco, CA! For some reason I am not as excited this year as I usually am… maybe just too busy with other stuff. But, I’m sure I’ll be following tomorrow’s keynote presentation by Steve Jobs around…
Flip Flop
I am a late night person. I love it, always have, and don’t really get into the morning thing. Mornings for me start around 9am. Somewhere near the beginning of the Buffalo Bills Review season I began moving toward a VERY late night schedule. I would stay up till 4 or even 5am at times…
Ian the Creator
I think I mentioned something about our oldest son Ian around Christmas as he was busy making gifts for all of his loved ones. I know I mentioned my awesome iMac and iPod that he made for me. (See photo here, I’ll still try and get a full-size photo of it.) Well, tonight as I…
Bad Water
It would seem that our little wind storm a few days back did more than knock down tree limbs, knock out power, and darken a 9-year-old’s birthday plans. I heard through the rumor mill yesterday, and confirmed by public notice today that we have potentially sickening drinking water in our little town here! (That could…
Lesson Learned?
I was observing my three-year-old daughter and her one-year-old sister today as they tried to play together. They were just a few feet in front of me, and truthfully, it was not going well. Julia, the younger, was taking things from Kirstie, the older, and this was not a welcome action. Kirstie was just whining…
Just Lucky, I Guess
Last night we celebrated Ian’s birthday. His birthday falls on Christmas day, so it has been our practice to set up a day in January to celebrate Ian, and nothing else. Well, he wanted to invite our friends the Velasquezes to join us for a night at Chuck E Cheese’s in a town about 35…
