Off to Disneyland

( Travel )

Cruelty

Originally uploaded by Thomas Hawk.

I get to fly to LAX this afternoon for my cousin Ronnie’s wedding. As a bonus, I get to go to Disneyland for two days with my sister and her kids.

This should be especially cool as they are celebrating Disneyland’s […]

Space Needle

Space Needle

Originally uploaded by DBarefoot.

Darren Barefoot took this great pictures of the Space Needle while in Seattle attending Gnomedex. From his post, I don’t know that he saw the best parts of my hometown, but he sure did capture some of the highlights of […]

Snack Run

( Food )

I think my tastes are changing. This past weekend, in the middle of watching “Hitch” on DVD, Randy announced that he needed a snack. It wasn’t just a general desire for something sweet or a handful of chips. No, Randy needed a Zebra Cake. I must admit that I support these […]

Nifty Links

Organizing an iPod A neat system to organize one’s tunes. I’m going to give it a whirl.

Biblical Curse Generator Want to avoid “colorful methaphors” when insulting someone? Here is an odd biblical alternative (biblical in the sense that the curses are from the Bible, but I’m not saying you should run around insulting people). […]

You Are Who Your Friends Are

( Musings )

Over at MakeItGreat, Phil Gerbyshak wrote about how his choice of friends made an impact on how we was perceived by others. In closing he says:

Hang out with undesirables, and you get treated undesirables. Hang out with people who are high speed, and you’ll be high speed.

This was a great reminder to me […]

Checking the Mail

( Musings )

I love checking our mailbox. Randy knows I love checking the mail so much that he says he’s “not allowed” to check it, but really it’s because he’s being nice to me.

I think I’ve always liked to check the mail. I have vivid memories from my youth of walking down our […]

Spell with Flickr

Cool Hunting turned me on this groovy tool which will spell things out using images from Flickr. I’m not sure for what I’d use it but I do find it very aesthetically appealing.

More Surfing

Yesterday’s post was a little heavy so here are a few light-hearted links of what I’ve been reading:

O’Hurley dances his way to new fame I love “Dancing with the Stars” and I’m glad O’Hurley is getting more media attention.

Jackson’s face ‘appears on toast’ This is just bizarre. What’s really sad is that someone will actually […]

What Defines Me

( Musings )

Randy and I saw “Batman Begins” twice this past weekend (yeah, it’s that good!) and I was really struck by one of the lines spoken by Batman: “It’s not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me.” I’ve been thinking about that concept for some time. Socrates said it this […]

Hawaiian Tri-Tip Steak

( Food )

This weekend I tried something new. I thawed a tri-tip steak and found this great recipe for a marinade. It seems like more of a wet rub to me than a marinade and I made a couple of changes for our taste preferences (less black pepper, more rub to steak ratio, less ginger, […]
