I was walking to the train the other morning after our 16 inches of snow and stumbled across this outside a bar called the LightHorse a couple blocks away from the apartment: To give you some scale, Mr. Frosty’s heart is at about 6 ft. These are gigantic! And amazing. Definitely a great deal of […]
I know I’m a little behind the news here, but I started using Ta-Da List the day it came out and I loved it from the start. One of the coolest things is I can share the list with anyone…so for one, I’ve made a list for my wife to use for “Honey Do” items. […]
These guys have to be just a little bit crazy since they are doing some amazing jumps from building to building : http://www.boreme.com/bm/DEC04/a/city-jumping/fr.htm The gang here at work figures this next one is either from a Fraternaty or (my vote) some bored Armed Service personnel: http://www.boreme.com/bm/NOV04/a/tablefootball-skills/fr.htm This last one is a bit of a morbid […]
Ok, so Maggie and I have made it through the first blizzard and we seem to have made it out ok. I wanted to post some before and after pictures to give you an idea of how much snow we got. I don’t have stats for Jersey City, but I saw where Central Park got […]
Ok, here’s something we don’t get in Texas, from the National Weather Service: …BERGEN NJ-EASTERN PASSAIC NJ-ESSEX NJ-HUDSON NJ-UNION NJ- 600 AM EST SAT JAN 22 2005 CORRECTED EXPIRATION TIME … BLIZZARD WARNING FOR THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING… SNOW WILL MOVE IN THIS AFTERNOON… AND WILL BECOME VERY HEAVY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

I’ve been asked which hacks I was using for comment preview and for the comment image. For “live” preview I am using the code from here: http://www.chrisjdavis.org/2004/03/15/live-preview-for-comments/ And for the image I am using: http://www.gudlyf.com/index.php?p=376 Both are pretty easy to install. If you have problems with them, leave comments on the different blogs and the […]
And better than ever…well, maybe. So I’ve added two hacks to WordPress for comments. The first is a new comment preview that does it “live” below the comment box. The second one is to try and stop spam. In order to post comments, you’ll have to enter the code displayed. If you fail to enter […]
Check out this picture (click for full size): I need to find some balloons like that and see what sorts of looks I can get. 🙂 I’m guessing the police wouldn’t take it so kindly.
This is the start of a series of entries about books I’ve recently read. I hope to add links to these books to the right and also a section detailing what I am currently reading (at least one person I know was intersted in that tidbit of info). I picked up “Angels & Demons” because […]
Well, it finally happened. I’m in NYC, and there is snow falling from the sky. We had some snow Sunday night, but I didn’t get to see it falling and I was in Jersey at the time. It’s pretty cool to actually see snow falling in Manhattan. It’s very small and blowing around today. Supposedly […]
Awhile back Maggie and I were looking at going to see Ocean’s Twelve the weekend it opened. I’m always a little fearful of doing so when a movie is probably going to draw a large crowd full of the types of moviegoers I hate (I will leave that for another time). But my biggest fear […]
Robert IM’ed me these today: Joke #1: A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named “Ahmal.” The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him “Juan.” Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon […]
A while back Robert mentioned to me he was going to make the jump to Vonage, a Voice Over IP (VOIP) telephone service created to replace your actual phone company. I told him it all looked good, but to let me know what he thought after using it for a while. After about a month […]
These photos are amazing. They are before and after shots from where the Tsunami hit a couple of weeks ago. It’s amazing that there were even survivors. I can’t imagine how scary it would have been to see that wave coming and be able to do nothing about it. http://homepage.mac.com/demark/tsunami/9.html
Ok, so this past week we were back home to visit my family and my wife’s family for Christmas. When we left New Jersey, it was 50 degrees. When we landed at DFW, it was 20 degrees and once we got to Sherman, there was 3 inches of snow on the ground. That’s more than […]
