Interesting Weekend

Well, it was another interesting weekend here in the mountains of Arizona not too far from the Mexican border. Some more illegal aliens paid us a visit this weekend. Sean and I were out playing basketball when the dog started barking wildly. We looked over and standing near one of our fences was a young […]

New Holland America Master Chef’s Dinner

As an avid cruiser, I found the Holland America Cruise Line recent press release about their new Signature Master Chef’s Dinner interesting. We tend to favor Celebrity Cruises when we cruise and one of the reasons is the cuisine. I havent found another cruise line’s that compares to Celebrity’s. Being an avid cook myself, this […]

To Flash or Not To Flash

I have been playing with ideas on improving the website I run for my America’s Army clan (158th Regimental Combat Team). It’s a simple php-nuke site, but there is getting to be so much data, especially in the blocks, that I want to clean it up and present the data nicer. One significant option is […]

World’s Smallest Political Quiz

Came across this little political quiz the other day: Political Quiz The quiz only asks you 10 questions and then instantly tells you where it thinks you land politically.

Halo 3 or Not?

The internet rumors concerning a yet, unannounced, but anticipated Halo 3 continue to swirl. With E3 coming up in May, I would expect some high value news. However, this xbox.com forum post claims that Bungies next project isn’t even called Halo 3 though Master Chief plays a significant role. It’s an interesting read but only […]

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Initial Impressions

I picked up Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for the Xbox 360 on the release date. I had looked forward to it on launch day for the Xbox 360, but it slipped to the right. At first glance, it appears to have been worth the wait. I haven’t had a chance to play all that much […]

Back in Sonoita

I am back from the business trip and trying to dig out from the feeds, emails and PMs. Wow, sometimes it doesnt pay to go away. To top it off, I was greeted with a cold front in the area when I returned. It was in the 80’s when I left. The first big winter […]
