2006 Orange Bowl

The 2006 Orange Bowl was something to see. When I found out we (Penn State) were going to play Florida State, I was a bit upset that we were playing a low ranked team (PSU was #3 and FSU was #22). I thought the game would be a complete blowout, but as we all saw…it […]

Birthday Excitement

Well, if being obsessed with Dark Shadows: The Revival was not enough, now my father-not-in-law-under-W bought me DVD collection 1 and 2 of the original Dark Shadows. I have 80 episodes in total in the first 2 collections. There are twenty-three collections in all…who needs cable? I am excited to compare the 2 series. When […]

2005 in Review From My Perspective

2005 was the “year of the elite” for me. 😉 I had several eye opening and exciting experiences, but also learned some disheartening life lessons as well. Both build character. 2005 Technical Things to Note: I delivered six new web sites (2 with over 1,000 members) (3 used Content Management Systems) this year I brought […]

How I Spend My Days Off

I decided to take today and tomorrow off from my 9-5 job today. Why? To relax? No. To finish up the painting that still needs to be done? No…hmm, I almost forgot about that. SoCom 3? Nope. I woke up at 730am, and have been working ever since. I took a few minutes to eat […]

Big Weekend

Well well..this past weekend was another busy, but exciting weekend with lots of little surprises. The weekend started out by some good times at a local brewery that served the best pork I have ever had, hands down. Saturday was filled with a lot of work and a reminder why I do not live in […]

Serenity Now!

fun with technology.

Well well. I finally have a decent spell check option and it is thanks to the Google Toolbar. I can spellcheck anything in my browser window with a click of the button. I am not known for my spelling skills, so hopefully this will help me. On another fun note…I was getting a Coke on […]

Busy Weekend

Well, this weekend was very jam packed. I started off the weekend by taking A to her first Brazilian steakhouse. Good thing she brought an appetite because you definitely need one at those places! On Saturday I had some co-workers and their dogs over for a dog get together. Triscuit did pretty well with strange […]

Serenity Now!

fun on the metra.

Ahh, nothing says fun like the Metra. Today, the Metra was running late, but I was ok…no hat, but I was rocking out to Maddona’s new CD: Confessions on a Dancefloor. Once the train came, it did not stop in it’s usual spot so everyone’s “position” was off. Again, not a problem for me, I […]

Volvo For Life?

Dear Volvo, I have been a loyal Volvo owner since I bought my first car almost ten years ago. I know ten years might seem short, but believe me, after I had my first ride in a Volvo, I knew there was no other car I would want to drive and safely get me from […]

Yes. It Can Be This Bad

I am not saying where, from whom, or how I got this…but I will say it was not me. 😉 This was so unbelievable, I had to take a picture and share it! PS. 99% of my “personal” web sites are well under 29mb in total. (jappler.com being the exception because of the movies.)
