Vlogging Seaworld with my son

It's one of the cool things you can do when you have offspring.

DC, here we come!

In a couple of days the fair bride and I are going to be heading to the top milblogging event of the year, the 2007 Milblog Conference! This trip wouldn’t have been possible without the donations I received from my loyal readers, the 790 dollars donated have paid for our plane ticket and a couple of nights of staying at the hotel, big thank you to Corpsman.com, Bane and all of the other donors.

Fox, where good TV goes to die

I watched every episode of Drive with puppy dog on the edge of its seat thrill, wow, Fox has came out with a great show! I was looking forward to a Monday night of TV goodness, watch Drive at 8 then Heroes at 9. But the big wigs at Fox (who are known for murdering great TV) have once again drove a stake into the heart of this show and killed it off after only 3 episodes. Like Firefly, it will

Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream

Words can't do it justice.. by Peter ZottoloI think it's time for some Ice Cream

Virginia Tech

Last night I went out for the Smash's going away dinner at Buco De Beppo with Mad Mikey, Conservative Liberal, Da Goddess and some other family and friends (great dinner BTW). Our friend Gracie of commenting fame, who was sitting next to me put this out, why haven’t any of you guy’s blogged anything about Virginia Tech?I’ve had a blog post sitting in my head that’s been forming for a while about

America at the Crossroads

It’s series of 11 two hour independently produced documentaries about the War on Terror. The series started last night (I started watching it after Drive with Nathan Fillion of Firefly fame, great show BTW). Last nights episode was titled “Jihad: The Men and Ideas Behind Al Qaeda”, tonight’s first hour is titled “Warriors”; we’re watching it right now. The film crew caught an IED attack during

Budget month with family

We’ve been saving our pennies for what is turning out to be a somewhat expensive trip to the Milblog Convention in DC. This budgeting added an interesting twist to this month considering my son was visiting for the first week and the mother-in-law was here for the week afterwards. Each day it was a trick finding some new low cost entertainment. For instance, last weekend we used up our

Mobil Phone GPS Tracking

You ever wonder where your friends are? Try out this mobile phone tracker, it's great! Using a satellite map it can track any connected mobile phone with coverage anywhere in the world! (that is if the phone has GPS) Type the number in to: http://www.sat-gps-locate.com and see if it works on your cell phone. A stalkers dream come true, might as well use it before they start charging.

Charles in Space

I did a blog post about Charles Simonyi going to the ISS, well he made it there an hour ago. You can also read about it in his blog and watch the videos. The rumor is that he and Martha Stewart are an item. It's cool that I had a chance to meet the fifth person to pay his way into space, the world is definitely becoming a smaller place.

Travel Vlog to Arizona

Video of our trip to Arizona which includes some of the places we went, my mom's latest project and blackmail video of my son singing Gwen Stefani. No, not really blackmail because I don’t believe in blackmailing people, I prefer instant gratification. We had a great time, my wife and my son are great traveling companions on any journey. She didn’t make this trip but will the next one. I also

We made it back to San Diego

It ended up just being me and my son going to Arizona, the brides mom came in this week and it's hard to be at two places at once. Helped my sister tear apart the inside of a house for a day then the next 4 days were spent driving around and visiting friends all over the state. How my week was spent?My other son, Alec (he’s not really my other son but I call him that) gave me a very cool

Titanic

It's cool that there's going to be a Sequel.
