I'm working a new way to blog today... as it turns out I run across interesting sites all the time, but I don't have time to compile them into a single daily, weekly or monthly blog entry, so as I tend to do, I wrote a code solution. What I hope to achieve here is a method for quickly adding links. As I surf when I see something I can click a bookmark that quickpost the link and description to my blog, please bear with me as I experiment with this. If it works you should see lots and lots more interesting links!

I have not blogged in forever so I thought I update what few veiwers I have left.
Little League is all consuming! I see our boys playing so hard and yet we lose every game going in to last thursday's (my b-day) game we were 1 and 7... most games we had lost by less than 5 though. We won... by 1 run! You would have thought we'de won the world series! I was so happy, and the kids I don't think their feet touched the ground for hours. In the end it was some of our lesser players coming though that did it for us. If we can get a few hits from the bottom of the lineup we will win a bunch of games as our defense is starting to work. We won again on Saturday, under protest... the opposing coach acused us of cheating, even told his kids that. We did beat them by 7 and stopped the game as there was no for them to catch up, only 1 run was under dispute. Dade and G made about 8 or 9 plays between them that game and look shit hot doing it. Very good effort on all parts.
On Friday night Angie took Dade and me to see the Rocket at Minute Maid. Wow what a game! Clemons was mowing them down and the Astros came out on top in a nail biter 3-2. Lidge closed!
Sunday we all went to the drag races... my friends R & R got us into the suite and it was a good day... 0-100mph in .9 seconds... you just never get used to that!
maybe later I'll find time to blog some links in here until thne this'll have to do!
What a Friday we had! Angie took the day off, we went to Celebration Station and hit balls, putt putted, played games and rode go-karts. Then we headed over to the Marq*e where we Ate at Red Robin's then watched Robots (very funny BTW) and then went blacklight bowling. fun fun fun fun fun.
During the viewing of Robots I saw the new trailer for ROTS ... you can see it here...
but if you cannot wait! have I got a treat for you...
It seems some very fanatical fans put this "other" movie together. Now before you blow it off as some beginner low budget BS ... take a look at the trailer for this thing...WOW! I am approaching SW critical mass I think.
I am hoping to attend Star Wars Fan Celebration III with Dade but it's looking less and less likely at this point. We'll see.
Ok since I'm going movie geekarama today I ran across this trailer over on the Apple trailers site. It's called A Scanner Darkly and has some names in it. It's by Warner Independant Pictures so it's an indy film sorta... what caught my eye, beside the content, was the film style. Cartoon drawn over real footage, computer anime style. It sort of reminds me of the Spiderman series on MTV that was soooo cool. To bad that's gone! Anyway, check it out.
Finally I'm going to leave you with a little something I talked about with my friend E the other day. I'm currently reading a book about the Philosophy in the Matrix and I must admit that it is my first foray into organized philosophical thoughts. The book is like a crash course in philosophy and I find that every chapter I read generates 100's of questions I think it's very good brain food! Anyway the ponderance... Let's say there is a boat called Sparta that is going to sail across the ocean and it's made from wood. The people on Sparta know that the wood will fail along the journey so they bring enough wood to make repairs as they go. By the time they reach the other shore the entire boat has been replaced stem to stern. Every single piece. Sparta pulls in and docks. Now along the way as each piece was replaced they tossed the old piece overboard. Currents and all took these pieces to a desert island where some castaways reassembled the ENTIRE boat piece by piece until they too set sail and lo and behold pulled into the dock next to the original Sparta, or is the old wood the original Sparta? This brings the question to the front what makes you, you!? If you lop off a finger your still you, a hand a foot a leg, keep going if they could medically keep you going when do you cease being you? When your brain dies? For the sake of argument what if they could "record" your brain and store it in a computer is that computer you? ahhh my is going... thanks E for getting me in a twist!
Someone please make the snot in my head go away! Ugh! Hey I learned how to bend wood this weekend! Not like that you DA! I had to bend a 2x8x10 piece of wood into an arch ... backcut a 3/4 thicknes notch every 1/4" and wamo! flexy wood, cool! OK did anyone see the race this weekend NICE! all of it ... Trucks were great Busch was great T-Stew what an unbelievable shot through the grass up the bank never lose speed save! WOW! and the 500 what a finish! SILLY SEASON IS ON!
This might be a re-blog but it might be new to you!
Neato type stuff can be found here.
OK for those who are sending it... I do not want to see the spoilers of the next Star Wars movie... please I've seen a couple don;t want to ruin the rest... i.am.jedi
Still sick... not going to stay at work today I don't think. Anyway I found this little gem and thought I'd hook y'all up... that text to speech thing has come so far ...
If you have a fresh water aquarium, you need some of these! They flouresce more when the water is dirty.
Been awhile...
The insanity continues though... I'm sorry but life is just moving to fast to record it right now.
I took Dade and Dad to the monster trucks the other night... blacked out Escalade with spinners on it .. how funny is that! 'digger won of course!
Right now I'm sick sick sick... and I can't figure out my insurance deal. Primary seconday it's just crappy that they force you to be primary on your employer... Angie's insurance is a lot better but I can't choose it as primary... sucks!
I've seen tons of good linkls lately... and I know it's old news but maps.google.com is the shit! One of the coolest things I've seen on the net in some time. Try searching for "pizza near 77521" that's Baytown... you'll get the idea play around with it.
BTW there is a listing of the best hubble images of all time listed at space.com wow!
You sometimes wonder why the computer is so slow... well let's take chess, every time you make a move the computer has to think out all potential game outcomes from all of it's potential moves! Wanna see what that looks like... check this! out... thinking machine will show the moves, it's quite enlightening.
Gadgets keep coming and coming, last year I got one of the best gadgets ever, a Bluetooth Headset for my T610... using this headset I'm able to leave my phone in my pocket while I dial out or receive calls. I can dial by saying the name of a person I can have it announce in my ear who is calling so I choose to answer or not and all the while with nary a wire. Well I think thios little gadget might have to replace the headset! Bluetooth rearview mirror
Also on the gadget front, this looks mega hot! Can't wait for a US version...
Some of you know I have a cert to scuba. I am dieing to get wet ASAP... I already have an underwater housing for my digital stil camera, but how about my videocam? Too expensive! often times it's more than the camera for the housing, until a DIY verion came along... looks intriguing.
enough enough... BTW I'm reading this book right now The Matrix and Philosophy: Welcome to the Desert of the Real WOW cool it is! Did you know Morpheus is the Greek god of dreams? Kinda neat in that he is the one in charge of "waking people up" from the Matrix! I highly recomend the book for those interested.
The other night we watched Mary Poppins ... how cool, spoonful of sugar, supcalifragilisticexpialidocious, chim chimmeny I smiled so much my jaws hurt, then last night we watched Saw... demented! gotta jet ::-samu
Ok, if you thought that thing where someone snorts a string or snake or something up their nose then out of thier mouth was wild... just wait 'til you get a load of this guy!
