The best knife, EVER

Tony — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 03:55:30 +0000

Have you ever been in a bind, where you could really use a nail file, a laser pointer, and a golf shoe spike wrench, all at the same time? I know I have. Well, I fear no more! With the The Most Incredible Knife I will have everything I need at my disposal. Just look at this thing:

What more could you ask for?

In Case of Fire

Tony — Wed, 12 Jul 2006 02:49:57 +0000

Today while we were cleaning up the basement, I decided it’d be a good time to test the fire alarms. The one in the basement makes an awfully loud and unpleasant sound, which startled Corinne. Greta and I figured this would be a good time to talk about what to do if the fire alarms were to go off. We explained to Corinne that she should try to find us and we could all get out of the house safely. Then we’d call the firemen.

This seemed to satisfy her, so we asked her to repeat what we should do if the fire alarms go off. She replied that, “we should get out of the house. Then we call God. And he’ll call the firemen to come to our house.”

Indeed, that’s certainly a good plan.

Updates coming

I know I haven’t been diligent in keeping the site updated, for which I apologize. I still have some enhancements I’d like to make to the site, which are coming soon. I also have some new pictures to post, which are also on their way. In the meantime, I thought a little video from YouTube would bring a smile to your face.

It’s a news clip of a report from a field where soldiers are burning huge piles of cocao leaves and marijuana leaves. The reporter get’s high in a matter of seconds. He gets really loopy. It’s quite funny:

(Here’s a link to the video if it doesn’t play above)

You are getting sleepy…

Don’t stare at this too long, you might go crazy.

Family Update

Just thought I’d update everyone on what we’re up to. We’ve decided to start looking for a new house. We haven’t outgrown our condo but the conditions are prime for us to start looking. Our condo’s value has appreciated very well, we know we’d have no problem finding a buyer and now that I’ve got a stable job here we’d like to move toward settling down in Columbus. Greta is still working full-time and Corinne stays with our friends, the Sharpes, during the day. Everyone is doing well.

Work for me is going good, I’m actually starting on a project where I’ll be doing some Visual Basic .NET programming. I am really excited about that. I am enjoying Battelle, it really is a good job to have.

My future TV

New Intel Chip for Digital TV Could Remake the Market: “He predicted that the low-cost display technology, which can be incorporated into the traditional rear-projection television sets, could lead to lightweight 50-inch screens only 7 inches thick for about $1,000, perhaps as early as the 2004 holiday season.”

This is very cool news. Intel definitely has the clout to make huge ripples in the consumer electronics arena. A 50-inch TV for that much? I’m saving my pennies already.

Wooden Ferrari

~~Wooden Ferrari~~ (dead link): “Is that a wooden Ferrari?”

This is absolutely amazing. Perhaps you could think someone had too much time on their hands, but this is one cool boat.

~~HoustonChronicle.com – Woman gets 10 years for running over McDonald’s manager~~ (dead link): “Woman gets 10 years for running over McDonald’s manager”

This isn’t right. I’ve had bad service before at McDonald’s, but I’ve never wanted to run a manager over. This lady needed to be put away for longer than ten years.

Huh?
