Super Mario Brothers

Feb

2007

To quote from The Incredibles, “there’s no school like the old school.” That’s especially true when it comes to video games. I knew before I bought the Wii from my friend Dave that you would be able to download classic games from Nintendo for a small fee. This was one of the first things I ...

Winter Wonderland Learnings

2007

So, we finally got our Winter Wonderland this week. Not on time for Christmas, but nice nonetheless. I hope to have some pictures up later this evening. I believe the snow began late afternoon on Tuesday and continued right on until Wednesday night. It’s the most snow I remember getting at one time in a ...

Texas and the HPV Vaccine

Feb

2007

My wife, Danielle, caused a little bit of a stir with her latest MySpace blog post having to do with Texas offering the HPV vaccine to 6th graders. I won’t comment too much about the post here. I already did so in the comments on Danielle’s page. I must digress and state that sometimes when ...

State of the Union

2007

I’ve been watching some of the State of the Union address tonight, and there was a comment President Bush made and a Democratic reaction that stunned me. If you’ve ever watched a State of the Union address, then you know that it can seem like an up-and-down clapping fest. When President Bush says something Republicans ...

Almost Successful Upgrade

Jan

2007

Tonight I upgraded to WordPress 2.1. The upgrade went smoothly, except for one tiny little part. I thought I had backed up everything I needed for the transition. When I upgrade my WordPress installation, I follow a pretty simple process, although I wouldn’t recommend it. Always follow the upgrade instructions at the WordPress site. My ...

Colts and Bears

Jan

2007

Well, Super Bowl XLI is going to be Colts – Bears. Not the matchup I would have liked at the beginning of the season, but it should be interesting nonetheless. I didn’t catch much of the Bears – Saints game. We were too busy bowling and trading forehand shots on the Wii. However, I did ...

Several blogs that I read have posted their 2006 statistics over the last couple of weeks. Although mine pale in comparison, I thought I’d share them anyway. Thanks to the good folks over at Google Analytics, the statistics are as follows. Total visits: 457 Page Views: 1,937 And to help prove that you never know ...

Potential Roadblock to Cancer Cure

Jan

2007

Apparently some scientists have discovered a potential cure for cancer. However, there may be a roadblock to future funding. According to this article a, “…molecule known as DCA was shown to shrink lung, breast and brain tumours in both animal and human tissue experiments.” This sounds like a treatment that could have huge potential. However, ...

Bloggers Required to Register?

Jan

2007

No, I’m not a lawyer, but some news that came across Google Reader yesterday has me concerned. According to this, a proposed Senate bill would require, “…even bloggers, who communicate to 500 or more member of the public on policy matters, to register and report quarterly to Congress the same as the big K Street ...

The Wii Experience 1

Jan

2007

I had been hoping to play the new Nintendo Wii ever since it was released in November. This weekend I finally got my chance, and the Wii did not disappoint. My friend, Dave, had bought two Wiis when they first came out – one for a friend, and one to sell eventually. He brought the ...
