So I was trying out…
So I was trying out Jott today, great service. I can talk for a little while and it transcribes everything I’m saying to text and it will automatically post to my blog. I love it.

Tattoo
My wife’s friend Kimberly decided to get a tattoo today. Yes, it happens even in the suburbs.
My first job: Golf Driving Range
Picked up range balls by hand, washed in a old washing machine with a broom handle. I made $3 an hour and all the golf balls I wanted to hit.
Who has time?
My poor blog. There is so much I want to do here, but sadly I do not have the time needed to develop a site that has substance and value to a reader. I am really trying to get to a point to where I can do redesign, then incorporate my Twitter statuses, full size photography and video into a post (flickr and vimeo api) and various other social networks I update can be good dynamic content on this site. Basically a styled friend feed account.
So, there you have it. Hope it is not another month before I post something. Just wanted to remind myself that I need to be creative.
Early Voter
Looks like my daughter was doing a little public electioneering or letting someone from the “other side” have it.
Dallas is too friggen hot

Kilroy Chat
My wife, Stephanie and I video chat (iChat) from time to time. We spend half of the time making goofy faces at one another.
Solar Energy in Spain
My friend JP turned me on to this. Incredible!
Big Oil would fly blimps over 24 / 7 to keep up from doing this in the US. Sad
Here is the Wiki page. Go learn something
Buddy Christ
I know this is old, but my wife has me convinced Kevin Smith is a genius. This is too funny

Walking
Every time I am away from Dallas, I am amazed how many people are walking. I am not talking about a little stroll, for most.. it is transportation. I was in Seattle last week, even in the rain and cold, everyone was out and about. The weather did not seem to phase them. In Dallas, I would not dream of this. I am guilty of getting in my car to go down the street and griping about not finding a parking place. Austin is probably the only city in Texas that walking is a way of life and might I go so far a saying, socially acceptable. I dont know when we became so pedestrian challenged. It feels good to get out and walk around, look at the buildings and people. My time driving down the street is coming to an end it seems. Wonder what I will do when it is 104 outside?
Google Sky
So everyone knows about Google Earth, the cool app that allows you to zoom around the planet and check out area’s of interest. Now Google has a new feature in the set called Google Sky. You can browse Constellations and our Solar System. This is amazing.
SXSW
Here at SXSW, sitting in the back of the class trying to learn something about responsible web design. Some Adobe guy (they call themselves “evangelists”) has been talking for 10 mins without taking a breath. Feeling very inspired to do something.
Been a long time
It has been an embarrassing 7 month hiatus from this blog. Sad, I work on websites everyday and never work on my own. So, I am making a new commitment to this site. What will it get me? who knows, it will probably be a place where I can vent and test new and cool web apps. There you have it, hope to see you around!
