I know not everyone agrees with me but I think it’s rare to find Christian rock that doesn’t suck and even more rare to find it in the main-stream. Gratz to Skillet on several songs that totally DON’T suck! Hero, Monster, Whispers in the dark, and Rebirthing are all amazing songs with a great sound. Enjoy. www.skillet.com

Home Automation

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:10:34 -0400

I’ve thought about this for a long time now but I haven’t really found anything that I’ve liked or that seemed simple enough for me to work with. I’ve even thought about finding an electrical engineer and working with them to build the hardware side of what I need to do the home automation projects I’ve been wanting to do. Recently I’ve been thinking about trying to do some research on this again and this time around I’ve found something interesting… X10. At this point I’m not even certain what it is but I have found talk of people who have used c# software programs to control X10 enabled devices.

It looked kind of exciting to me so I think I’ll figure out what I would need to purchase and see if I might be able to add some automation into my custom home theater software.

Having Influenza can't be that bad right?

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 15:17:04 -0500

Wrong. Never in my life have I felt this sick. My entire body hurts, everything I eat makes me sick, anything that touches my skin stings (even my own clothing). I’ve had a fever over 100 for days now and it spikes up to 104 and when it gets that high I feel like i’m dying. I certainly realize that there much more horrible things in the world than having Influenza but to date in my personal experiences, this is the worst I’ve ever felt. Ok, back to my chair.

Weekend!!!!

Weekend!!!!

Looks like another good month!

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 17:30:00 -0500

It’s a bit to early to say for sure but after working with the finances all day it looks like January 2009 will be a profitable month! Sadly some of this good news is mired by the fact that yet again our work with ADP is screwed up and they’ve done something wrong… again. Oh well, it just goes to show that when working with financial institutions it will always be riddled with problems.

After moving all that lumber, okay…. I didn’t move it all… in fact I had lots of help! I built my first wall!

Finishing my basement

Well this weekend should be fun, the lumber was just delivered… it looks like more lumber than I expected… figures. Now I just need to move 1000lbs of wood down to my basement, yep I’m screwed.

You receive loot: [Epic Motivation]

So I haven’t posted here in forever, well you can see for yourself how long it’s been since I posted last, but I really got motivated that keeping a journal might be a good thing for me so I’m gonna give it another shot.

My wife is using a blog as her class home page (she’s an elementary school teacher) and it really does do everything she needs and while watching her work on it I thought about my blog and how I’ve abandoned it to digital dust and decay… but no more!

Once again, I’m doing this super late at night so I don’t have much to say other then that I’ve updated this and I’m gonna try see if I can be more consistant with it.

Time for Zzz…
