So we had an amazing Easter service this year. We opened with a mash up of “I Can’t Get No (Satisfaction)” by the Stones and “Kyrie” by Mr. Mister, we shot some great cardboard testimonies of our people which lead into the song “Beautiful Things” by Gangor and we wrapped the whole thing up with [...]

FINALLY!
The man that makes football sound stupid finally gives up and goes home! Well since ESPN moved the video that was linked here… I was excited because John Madden finally retired. Man I couldn’t stand that guy.
My First AR
So I built a rifle recently. That’s right, I BUILT a rifle. It’s an M4 styled AR-15. Here it is: For those that are spec driven, here’s the details. I used a stripped Essential Arms lower from a little company in Louisiana. It’s not the prettiest receiver (there’s no prancing horse or coiled snake or [...]
8 years of Marriage
This week (Tuesday the 31st – but only because Ann wouldn’t agree to the best April Fool’s day prank ever) Ann and I celebrated 8 years of marriage. The good news was we realized that this year we could actually celebrate being happily married for more than half the time we’ve been married. I thank [...]
The Journey So Far…
A while back I promised some scans of the sonograms and just got busy… so here’s all them so far, including the print outs we got yesterday… unfortunately no one reminded us that we needed to bring our own VHS tape to get a recording yesterday… so no video of Devin Allen in utero… 8 [...]
Breaking News
I just realized in the last post I alluded several times, but I’ve never announced it… Ann is pregnant again – she’s just about 12 weeks along and her first sonogram is looking great! I’ll post a scan of it here in a bit.
Mission Control, we are GO for launch.
Repeat, we are GO on all systems. So Monday morning we hit the ground running. We spent hours talking through the various failures and lacks of systems. We poured through manuals to see where we went wrong. We ran a full hour test transmission… only to still have problems. We went back to the drawing [...]
w00t for battery life!
So I updated to iPhone software 2.1 yesterday… And I don’t really care what other improvements it brought… Because battery life is GREATLY improved – I’m talking it wasn’t on the charger at all yesterday or last night and I still had half the battery left this morning! Which is a huge change from keeping [...]
Death Magnetic just laid the SMACKDOWN on St. Anger!

JACKPOT!
So today I today I went to order the Metallica portion of Ozzfest via livemetallica.com. While poking around to see what was new there, I noticed some shows available for free… wait, I take that back… I noticed ALOT of shows available for free… a lot of stuff with Cliff playing and even one with [...]
Notes from Ozzfest
1. Metal played on cellos really does rock 2. There’s no such thing as being too close to the pyro (but once your hair catches on fire, it’s a good idea to take a break… get some water… sit a song or two out.) 3. Despite his age, Ozzy is A-Mazing. (So is King Diamond… [...]
Today’s the day!
In the last day of their current session, the Supreme Court is expected to give their decision on District of Columbia vs. Heller today… their first ruling on the 2nd Amendment in over half a century. Directly from the Court’s decision: Under any of the standards of scrutiny the Court has applied to enumerated constitutional [...]
