Our phone got turned off today…well, we can get calls in for a week or so but can’t call out or check our messages. Our Internet has been off for a week (I can check at work if it gets too slow, but don’t count on it, this is a rare moment, so it may [...]

Michael Savage claims that children with Autism are faking it…
Okay, well there’s Bush, Chaney, Rove and the whole fucked up administration as bigger asses but Savage managed to pull one off here. Unfortunately I am guessing he won’t be forced to apologize or fired…

You may notice that the pictures are gone. I edited a text widget and now all the widgets on my sidebar are gone. No matter what I do I can’t seem to get them to come back.
I have to say, I am not too impressed with the move from 2.3.3 to 2.5.1… First the comment [...]

Johny Cash cover’s NIN’s Hurt.
Of the cover, Trent Reznor said:
I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn’t mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in [...]

It says I have 4 comments waiting for approval, but when I go to the screen to approve them it says there are “No comments awaiting moderation… yet.”
I have searched Google, I found one suggestion to make sure the comment_date_gmt field is in [...]

I have decided to either go for a DeLorme (yes, the same company that makes the large street atlas you may have in your car or elsewhere) PN-40 (noted below) or the PN-20
$349.99 at Amazon (link above), but that includes topographic maps of the country, which can be used for full road routing. 1GB SC [...]

There were a few who voted against it strongly, Clinton, surprisingly among them, Ron Paul would have had he been able to be there (they added it to the calendar at the last minute and he had another appointment), Kucinich did also. Unfortunately, Obama did vote for it, and I may reconsider my vote for [...]
If you are using Firefox 3, such as we are, some parts of this site are may not rendering properly. None of the videos are showing up. They show up with Internet Explorer or if you use IE Tab on Firefox. Hopefully a fix will be found… Not sure if it is a Wordpress issue [...]

When we were at our camping trip, I took a fire spinning safety class.
The first lesson, take a want that was lit, and light your hand on fire then put it out, twice. Then we took the fire, pinched it between our fingers and transferred it to an unlit wand. Next up was lighting your [...]

Ari and I went geocaching Saturday (Sara decided to stay home and have some Sara time) and Ari played a bit in the park.
We still don’t have a GPS, so I still rely on Google Maps or Google Earth to locate things before I leave the house.

So Francisco Lorenzo wins via an undeserved disqualification against Humberto Soto, thanks in large part to Lorenzo’s whining and acting as if the glancing blow was an actual hit.
