2009

Just thought I’d give an update on my 2009 Goals post. I finished the Obama Nation probably in either late January or early February. Scary stuff. A big part of means wants to say, “I told you so,” when it comes to Obama. It seems to the he wants us all to be completely dependent ...

Just posting from my iPod hereat the Best Western. WiFi here is pretty snappy. Just learned what some of the lyrics to YMCA mean – scary. Also, I can’t stand when people incessantly clang on their glasses incessantly.

When Up is Down 1

May

2009

After reading Aunt Lori’s blog the other day, I figured maybe it would help to get my thoughts/feeling out “on paper”. Let me start by saying that my space bar is dying, but I digress. “Up is Down” is how I feel right now. Right is Left, however you want to say it. Everything that ...

Natalie Stovall at Penn Tech 2

2009

Today we drove down to Penn Tech to hear Natalie Stovall play. Natalie put on an awesome show at Mansfield earlier this year, opening for Josh Gracin, and we’ve stayed in touch with her through Facebook and her blog. Natalie and her husband, James, are the coolest. James chatted with us for a while after ...

Invisible Shield Damage

2009

After viewing my friend Dave’s iPhone 3G, I was very impressed with his Zagg Invisible Shield, and I decided that once I got my iPod Touch, I would have to get one. I believe the Shield actually came before my iPod did, and I was excited to apply it right away. For starters, the front ...

2009

This past Thursday was the Josh Gracin concert at M.U. Since Danielle is a diehard country fan, we HAD to go. Let me just say that the opening act, Natalie Stovall, was AMAZING! She sings and plays a mean fiddle to boot. This first video is of her and her guitarist playing a sweet riff ...

David Cook Concert at Mansfield University

2009

Thanks to my Dad’s waiting in line last week early in the morning, this past Thursday we got to see David Cook, last season’s American Idol winner, live in concert at Straughn Hall at Mansfield University. David seems like a very down to Earth guy. He and his crew played a prank on the opening ...

Irony

2009

Does anyone else find it funny that President Obama is echoing John McCain’s September 2008 claims that, “the fundamentals of our economy our strong”? See, back then, Obama wanted the economy to not be strong, to help him get elected. Now that he’s in, and the economy is in the tank, he needs to convince ...

Removing the [Gmail] folder

If you use Gmail, and like me, you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone, then this trick might be useful for you. Gmail on the iPod Touch uses the IMAP protocol. Fancy name. Basically boils down to the fact that you can sync your read and deleted messages across locations (delete it on your ...

Emotional Roller Coaster

2009

Now that things are settling down a bit, I figured I share with everyone the emotional roller coaster I’ve been on lately. Earlier this year (or perhaps it was late last year) I was asked by one of my best friends, Zack, to be one of the best men in his wedding. I was honored ...
