See the sites, the former nuclear sites that is!

Google Placemarks for former nuclear weapon sites

Pretty wild stuff. Seems I've driven by a few in South Dakota and didn't even realize it!

By the way, you'll need Google Earth to see the file on the site.

Rocket Dogs

No, this isn't an Elton John outtake before he changed "Dogs" to "Man". This is a seemingly simple little video game (its in the top right of the flash window on the Sheetz Challenge site).

My high score is 29... try it a few times, and make sure to marvel at the list of high scores.

Forget the Super Bowl! For a smooth $840, you could attend the event of the year in China as two Russian pilots fly through a cave!

What the heck!

Sony announces new product: Cyber-shot Mobile Phone Digital Cameras.

Now I'm kinda glad that we've never picked up a "fit in yer pocket" camera yet... I could see this being my next phone, provided the cost isn't out of this world.

Can anyone explain these horrible creations called "Donks"?

From da 3rd coast yo!

I think Matchbox or Hot Wheels made something like this for their hot new self destruct derby set..or something like that

Ahh snow. Gotta love it here at the end of February.

Woke up last night, actually, early this morning, with the urge to go to the bathroom. While still in a sleep/awake state, I was thinking "Oh man, I bet it's like 5:45 or something." You know, that time where it's too early to get up, but you know if you get up you won't get any sleep before the alarm goes off. So I ask "What time is it?", and this black man with one tooth appears and says "Friday Five." Well, I roll over and see the clocking saying 5:14... Apparently, 5:14 is Friday Five.

In other new MC Hammer got himself a blog!

Can't Touch This

Well, let's see what's changed. Not too much, still renting the same house, seeing the same girl, driving the same truck and working the same job.

Motorcycling has pretty much taken over my life. I think about it all the time and revel in the thought that the riding season in PA is about to start. Just need a few more weeks and I'll be at it again. Seen a few different areas since joining up with Craig's posse of riders. Thanks to him (and the guys letting me tag along) I've seen Montana and the BRP on the saddle of a motorcycle. Good stuff.

I've been reading through these old posts..crazy stuff. Found this little jewel: "But in about 5 or 7 years I'll be purchasing my second bike. Now whether that'll be a cruiser or a sport bike...I can't say right now....just have to wait til the time comes :)" Heh heh, well, I was off by a year. I'll be adding a Triumph Tiger to my stable to start my Adventure Touring on a motorcycle. First goal: Alaska. Maybe in a couple of years I'll be ready to make the trip. Here's hoping!

Photography is the other main hobby taking up my time. I purchased a Nikon D70 to replace my old Sony S85. I now how a ton more flexibility in what shoot and how I can compose a photo. I hope someday to combine photography and my motorcycle(s) into some kind of cool project.

Other than that, who knows what the future holds!

well, in recent years, i got married, bought a house (after looking for quite a while), bought the most ridiculous car (an 84 stick-shift chevette that has more problems than I have ribs), joined a new band and played some great shows in some cool towns, finally got a cat again, worked a bunch on our family property in WVA and will again, wrote a lot more in 2005 than i did in the five years preceding it, drove a jeep across the country for my sister, added a lot of files to filenet, dropped out of the duckpin league (hopefully for just this year), effectively dropped out of frisbee (but hope to practice this year), became more content with my role at work (not saying i love Microsoft Word, but I'm managing better now), started attending and hope to join a new church (following move to afore-mentioned new house), developed quite a taste for beer (and while it does maintain sobriety better than hard liquor, i'm quickly finding that its none too easy on the waistline), learned a lot of refinishing hardwood floors, and of course, put a lot of miles on my van.

Just a little FYI on some upkeep/new features...

I added comments to posts now, so if you want to debate, discuss something, add a comment. That way we'll know what's being discussed there.

Second, Micah recommended adding a Friends section to display other people's blogs/photoblogs/etc. Send me links or adjust the template yourself.

Holy crap is it good to have this thing back! Man, talk about a bona fide time capsule. This thing caputes 9/11, my weird dreams, my car accident, and other childish musing! Holy cripes!

The gang is all here...

it takes an elementary thought process to determine that this is one dead blog. restored to life by one chumpmaster, we can only hope that the magical jelly beans he has provided will conjure up new magic. how our hearts cry out for lunch to be longer once again...
