Segway in the WILD
Well Folks, here is a new one for me. While having Breakfast at "Ye Ole" Waffle House I saw a site I never imagined seeing in Greater Knox-vegas. A Segway! What is a Segway you ask? Well, a Segway is a personal transportation device that does not use gasoline. And they are pretty darn cool, I think. Well, we were sitting there enjoying our grease filled breakfast when looking out the window I saw a Meter-Reader zipping past the window. Looking more carefully, I saw that he was riding a … [Read more...]
BlogCFC and Windows Live Writer
This is just a little test... I'm trying the Windows Live Writer with blogCFC. If you can read this then it may be a success. We'll see. Let's make this a full fledged test and use an image as well.. The picture to the left is the new, soon to be released Blackberry Bold. It's the thing to have... forget that stupid iPhone, get something that's works and is reliable!

Diet Coke and Mentos: The Failed Experiment
My nephew Nicholas and I were looking for something to do Friday Afternoon and decided to attempt the Mentos & Diet Coke experiment. You know, the one where you dump a bunch of Mentos in a 2 liter Diet Coke and it creates a "Coke Geyser". Well, needless to say, we failed. We tried twice with Diet Coke and once with Diet Sprite... I think our delivery method for the Mentos is what was holding us back... we will need to try again. Below is record of our failure... along with a little dancing … [Read more...]
The Amber: Save Donna from the PO-PO
I live and work in Fountain City... So, I eat lunch in Fountain City. I like to go to "The Amber" Restaurant. This place has been here as long as I can remember and is a good place to go for Breakfast and Lunch (no dinner here, they close at 3:00). The food is good, and the people are nice. They have decided to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. But, to do this they have provided some incentive, they are going to have the owner (Donna) arrested! So, if you are in Fountain City and find … [Read more...]
Gas…Its getting K-RAZY
It appears that Fountain City (aka, God's Country) is getting hit by some gas craziness! The prices down Broadway are going through the roof! Here is an update of the gas prices on Broadway as of 1:45pm on September 12, 2008. 3.89 - Citgo. 4.00 - Gas stop. 4.49 - Pilot. 3.69 - Phillips 66 - There was Quite a nice line here! 3.89 - Exxon.

Book 3: Brisingr
If any of you out there keep of with the Inheritance Series by Christopher Paolini, then you know that book 3, Brisingr is due to be released on September 20, 2008. The author has provided a small reading of a section to "tide" us over until the release. The video was a little "stuttery" but I might attribute that to my internet speed. (We all know that speed wise, I'm at the bottom of the barrel here. *sigh*) At any rate, I've included the video of the reading below. Enjoy! … [Read more...]
