We have been getting snow the last few days here, and last night it finally turned into “real” snow! (The kind that comes down in big, fluffy flakes and starts piling up on everything quickly!) And it looks like there’s more where that came from! I love snow! It just makes me smile, and even…

Born in the now distant land of Springfield, OH, and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, I met my future wife Jen in the 8th grade in Earth Science (she was the girl with the big hair and glasses across the room...) Now reside in Palmyra, NY after having found ourselves residing in various homes and domiciles all over the country as we traveled and sang about the Kingdom of God with our growing brood of kids in tow. I now get to design websites and other things graphical for folks around me, as well as sell Apple (Computer) products to anyone who may be interested.

The End of The Aught
For whatever reason, I’ve taken to using the words “aught nine” to describing the end of this year, and even this decade. (Well, the “aught” part.) And lately, Jen was quite confused by my usage of the archaic term… so I explained it to her, but then realized it was odd enough that I should…
Pranav Mistry: The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology
Wow. This is really amazing. I actually love the story behind it, too. (He shows you how he developed the ideas.) But the demos of it doing what it does… incredible interaction of digital and physical world. Worth the 15 minutes to watch!
View From Space … Almost!
This is… CRAZY. Had to post 🙂
NFL Players Are Amazing
Are these for real? They look for real. But, really? I like the warning before Mauroney does his stunt, “Do not attempt unless you are an NFL athlete.” (Perhaps not even then?) I know these are old, but my Dad sent me some in an email today, and they’re just fun, so… enjoy!
To Whom Are The Politicians Responsible?
Holy cow… this is nuts. But it’s not recent. Best I can tell, this occurred on August 3rd, 2007. (Check this link for some more info, context, and subsequent links.) I am continually saddened by the untouchable, unaccountable attitude that seems to be so present in our political system, especially Washington. It’s certainly not relegated…
Record Books
When it happened yesterday, I was fairly sure that the 98-yard touchdown connection from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Terrell Owens was a Buffalo Bills record. Turns out that I was right. The record for longest touchdown pass in Buffalo Bills history now belongs to a substitute QB and a player who will likely be a Buffalo…
You’re Being Recruited
Thought this was pretty funny. Especially 83-year-old Joe Paterno at the end 🙂
Breaking News: Dick Jauron is GONE!
I really can’t believe they did this! It should have been done long ago. That was obvious to most Bills fans. But I really can’t believe they actually pulled the trigger. Dick Jauron was “relieved of his coaching duties” today. Amazing. Can’t wait to see what is next… it has to be better!!! Short link…
On Restructuring Large Government
Another quote from the book I am currently reading, this time referencing several (failed) attempts (or non-attempts) to restructure an overly large, lethargic, unproductive government. This quote is regarding an attempt in 1982 by President Ronald Reagan: “The Grace Commission,” Created by Ronald Reagan This commission was tasked to work “like tireless bloodhounds” looking for…
