Back to the beach
Went to the beach this morning for a couple of hours of relaxation. It was really beautiful, not a cloud in the sky, but man, did it start to get hot the closer it got to noon. It’s really nice to live so close to the beach that we can just hop in the car…

London Terror
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by the horrific bombings in London today. That being said, I hope that if any good comes out of this, it’s that the United Kingdom, if not all of Europe will finally wake up and realize that you must take the fight to the terrorists because…

Serenity Now!
I just found another very cool podcast: The Signal. Back in 2002, there was a show on Fox called Firefly. The commercials that I saw for it peeked my interest so I decided to give it a try. Man, was that good television. It was not only good television, it was good sci-fi television. So…

Google Earth
I had heard about this a few days ago, but I just got around to downloading Google Earth. Two words. Very freaking cool. The detail level isn’t quite complete on our house, but we were able to find Monica’s family in New York right down to their building. That is simply amazing. I assume they’ll…

Foote’s Legacy
You might have heard lately of the passing of someone named Shelby Foote, and if you’ve ever watched Ken Burn’s epic The Civil War, you’ve no doubt seen him. I love that documentary because it just feeds my passion for history, and Shelby Foote’s commentary is a big reason I enjoy it so much. He…
