Light Bulbs

Jan 28, 2009 Posted Under: opinion, technology

I have decided that I am done with those little flourescent light bulbs.  You know the ones… They are the ones that are supposed to save the world.  These are the light bulbs that screw into a regualar incandescent light bulb socket but are supposed to last five, six, even seven years?!?  I have not been [...]

Jan 28, 2009 Posted Under: digital photography, Pet

Our cat was taking a bath in this huge chair when I shot this picture.  She has been fighting static electricity in this cold spell.  Every time she touches anything or anyone she gets popped by static because it is so dry.  I thought this was too cute not to share.

This morning I woke up at 4:45 AM just like I always do and almost hit the snooze button, something I never do.  I quickly jumped up and turned on the television to find that my work was closed because of the ice.  Unlike most people, I did not take the opportunity to go back [...]

Anyone that has had something bad happen to them can attest to having good and bad days.  As most of you know my youngest son ran away back in September and came home for one day on Christmas.  I thought we had made a lot of progress when he was here.  We have not heard from [...]

We Are Not Racist

Jan 19, 2009 Posted Under: bias, opinion

Disclaimer: I refuse to use the term African-American because it is a seperatist political correctness term.  This term is used to separate blacks as separate Americans. I see them as ordinary Americans just like myself. I hope those that are on talk shows around America have their recorders running on full power this week because [...]

How Different People Can Be

Jan 18, 2009 Posted Under: Bible, Christian, morality, opinion

It is no secret that people have differences of opinions on virtually any topic.  It should be no surprise that you are going to have people that want to legalize marijuana usage.  I have heard many arguments on both sides of the argument.  Those people wanting to legalize it usually post about how it can [...]

My wife and I were in South OKC when we saw an amazing sunset.  I stopped at the Robinson Street bridge at S.E. 15th street to take this shot.  This image is representative of what a wonderful day it was.  This nice 65 degree January day was perfect.  We were driving around enjoying the nice evening [...]

The Love Affair That Fades

Jan 18, 2009 Posted Under: opinion, technology

Today I read a post on Techcruch where Michael Arrington tells about why Google employees quit.  This post reveals that some employees have voiced concerns about low pay, diminishing benefits, and too much bureaucracy.  The article shows that many employees had the same concerns.  This cannot be good for all the Google worshipers that I [...]
