I recently found this website: The Post-Rapture Post My first thought was that this was hilarious, my second that this is a great scam, and the third was that I am unsure of my job prospects in the highly unlikely event of the Rapture. In that case, I found my calling: Post-Rapture Postman! So I [...]

I have a new batch of pictures! We went over to Bionca’s mother’s house for Thanksgiving, and had a great time. We showed up a little late, but since everyone else was late it didn’t matter. One thing that I really like about Thanksgiving is sneaking little bits and pieces before dinner. The other is [...]

Whee!! Wii! You just can’t help buy into the marketing with the play on words with this system… You also can’t help but be impressed with it. Scott won the opportunity to buy a Wii from his employer, so he brought home the new system from Nintendo (in case you are under a rock, or [...]

Okay, the world has gone funny… This is Florida, the “Sunshine State.” We call it that, not because of our cheerful and friendly attitudes, but because we are known for our temperate weather, but last night we had something that we haven’t seen in the state for years: snow! Now granted, there was rain mixed [...]

On Sunday, Bionca and I decided to go to downtown Winter Park and just look around. We were eager also to try out our new camera. We really had a nice time, especially since the roses were in full bloom, and there was some new fairly sculptures on display. We got a few nice shots [...]

This was one of my better birthdays that I have had in years. We started off by going to Café Tu Tu Tango, where Jon and Melissa, my folks, and Heather joined Bionca and me. Bionca and I actually got there a little late. Everyone was already there. Earlier in the day, we had gone [...]

I finally got a chance to see an opera be performed. Bionca got tickets to see the final dress rehearsal of the Orlando Metropolitan Opera perform Samson and Delilah. I really enjoyed it, though there were are few things that I didn’t care for. The first act seemed a bit rushed. It felt like the [...]

We went to the Festival of the Masters, this past weekend. It is held once a year at Downtown Disney. Its was pretty inspiring. I have been going there since high school, and really enjoy it. This year they have side-walk chalk art as well as the fine and folk art. I got some information [...]

This past weekend was Evan’s Christening. It was basically a church service with some special attention paid to Evan. It was sort of strange standing in front of the congregation, but not exactly uncomfortable. It was a nice service. One thing that I was a bit concerned about was my role. As I have written [...]

This is a Greasemonkey script that I made to remove the color tags that you need in your labels in gmail to use the Gmail Label Colors script written by Mihai Parparita. If someone comes here for this, I am sorry if my blog doesn’t display quite right. Its still in progress. If you are [...]

GET OUT AND VOTE! Its that time of year. Its time to do your civic duty. So, get off your lazy ass and get to the polls. NOW! Before they close! I voted this morning. 4th in line. Still the poll workers are a bit slow. Oh well, at least my employer is understanding.

Halloween has come and past. All the decorations are down, and life can once again return to normal. The house seems strange without George keeping vigil. Oh well, next year… This weekend was once again pretty quiet. The most noteworthy thing was on Saturday I helped with the 5K run for the Lake Sumter Emergency [...]

Sorry for the low-res. Its a phone after all… These are the lighted eyes that were in the bushes. Here is what they look like up close.

Well, Halloween was a lot of fun. I finally took some pictures. Unfortunately, they are not that great, since I had to take them with my phone. My sister left the camera on their trip to Sannabell Island. One thing that really surprised me with the decorations is how well the fog machine worked, and [...]

E-mail etiquette, or netiquette as it is commonly referred to as, is a difficult subject to address. Since there is no authoritative source, and this is mostly a matter of opinion, it is important to read a variety of sources. A simple Google search of “e-mail etiquette” is a great place to start. Many of [...]

This past weekend was one of the more active weekends that I have had in a while. Friday, after work, I went to SCC to see Bionca in Smokey Joe’s Cafe again. (The first time, I really didn’t get to watch it too well since I was too busy taking pictures for the cast and [...]

My mom gave Bionca and me a $50 gift certificate for Outback Steakhouse, and so since Bionca had the night off, we went. It was very nice date. The Ahi Tuna Salad though, was not. The tuna was great. The salad was terrible. It was all iceberg lettuce and it was chopped almost like it [...]

When Bionca and I have kids, I found out that I am going to be the one that changes the diapers. Evan had a bit of diarrhea, and when Bionca tried to change it, she almost vomited. I had to kick her out of the room while I changed him. It was pretty funny.

The past weekend was really nice. Friday, I went to see Bionca on her opening night. The show was very enjoyable, though honestly, I didn’t get to see much since I spent most of the time taking pictures (which I will be posting on her very soon). I really love seeing Bionca on stage. Afterward, [...]

Again, a late update… Well, I mentioned how frustrating it was the weekend before Bionca’s and my anniversary, but after that night, everything was good. Tuesday, the actual day. Since Bionca had rehearsal that evening, I didn’t have much hope of seeing her. So, I decided to go to a local florist to get her [...]

Here it is almost the weekend, and I am about to go over the past weekend. Oh well… Better late than never. Last weekend was eventful. Bionca and I went and saw Working at Shoestring Theatre. It really was a good show, even if the cast was a little rough at spots. Considering that some [...]

This weekend was spent mostly at the local malls. I tried to petition for another activity, but I could not get Bionca motivated for anything else. Personally, I find malls one of the least interesting places to shop. The items that one find within are so homogenized as to only need about 5 stores to [...]

Saturday, I got to experience something that I have wanted to do since I was a small child. I saw the launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis from the VIP seating section. I was sitting in the same section that the president of NASA and even the United States would sit. I believe that it [...]
