The movie Sideways was really good, my friend Fred just posted pics of his weekend “Sideways” Wine Tour. See how many places from the movie Fred and friends find on their tour. Looks like fun!
I just heard about Hunter S. Thompson, man that’s sad, shot himself it seems. FoxNews.
The Rock and Roll Confidential web site has a great collection of band pictures, The Hall Of Douchebags. Funny as hell, check it out.
I thought I would post some new pictures of the girls, they sure are growing fast! What a lucky man I am.
I’m here blog fans! Been a busy week with the kids. April and her mission report/model/oral presentation really took some time, but more than that I have found a new obsession to further waste my increasingly scarce spare time (time that Dave does stuff for no other reason than it’s kinda interesting) What has really caught my attention is podcasting. Podcasting is basically recording and “radio” show and saving it as an MP3 then making that MP3 file available to users to download onto their media player of choice (iPod or other portable MP3 players and Media Player and WinAmp playlists). What really makes it work is the MP3’s are handled as enclosures in an RSS feed. There is software that takes care of the downloads via this RSS feed looking for the latest “show” from a particular site and moving it into your MP3 player playlist automatically. I get Goosebumps just thinking about! So what people are doing are like underground radio shows from their living rooms and garages. There are some great shows featuring unsigned and unknown bands and also long, lost and forgotten bands. (there are tons of other topics like Wine, politics and even school board meetings) The music thing is really neat cause of my HUGE record collection. I am set for recording my own podcasts and I want to feature my weird collection. Pretty cool, stay tuned for that (hehe). In the mean time check out some podcast stuff, pretty funny to hear just regular people doing radio shows, they range from the real home-brew amateur to full production radio shows with little sound effects and stuff. Here are some useful links:
I saw this sicko web site over on MetaFilter, poor little bunny! It seems the bunny will be butchered and eaten if people don’t donate 50k by June via his PayPal account.
Here is April’s Mission just hours before being delivered to school, very nice job guys, April and Lisa really worked hard on this dude and it looks super!
Today I worked with April on her 4th Grade Mission project. Pictured here is a model of Mission San Juan Capistrano in it’s early stages (several hours at least) Tomorrow we add more detail, pretty fun man!
These are some funny T-Shirts, just in time for Valentines day!
Here is my good friend Paul Menard. Dig your fish man and your Xanga site, thanks for the inspiring posts.
Man what fun I could have if I just didn’t have to work all the time! No, I’m having fun don’t you worry, its just one of those wish I could just win the lotto kind of weeks. Like there are any other types.
Here it is the night before Superbowl Sunday. Ah yes to Live and party in America sure feels good! I have been busy with the Cement Trampoline site posting music and scanning old pictures. Jim and I have compiled a pretty good stack of cassettes from the old days and I have a fairly decent system for digitizing them. A lot of the tapes were recorded from boom-box-built-in mics and were recorded during practices. So I have been cleaning them up with CoolEdit on my PC. It’s been working pretty good too. I have been working a few songs at a time then posting them to the site, take a listen sometime.
Did you know that today is groundhog day? Yep. It seems that Punxsutawney Phil has emerged and it looks like more winter. Yesterday it was like a heat wave around here, dang near 70 degrees!
