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! Ok now, let's see if the text formatting works. Bold, italics, strike-through, Underline Bullet one Bullet … [Read more...]
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. Hopefully all these crazy prices will calm down in a few days but, until then I'll be keeping my trips down to the bear necessities. No more … [Read more...]
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...]
A Little Craziness..
To end the day, I thought I'd upload a little craziness that took place this weekend. I was conned into helping my Sister-In-Law make a video for her Religious Studies class. Apparently, they had to pick a topic from the Bible and turn it into a news cast. This is the resulting mess. The dark areas will be where her group mates will insert their "anchor person" speak. Please don't hold this against me. So, without further ado... Action News covers... Noah and the great … [Read more...]
Football?
Well, it's Football time in... I'm not going to finish that. I just can't. I won't even join in Fulmer lynch mob mania that is gearing up. No, for me this is just that time of year when I need to know the Vol's football schedule. Not for the assumed reason of being a fan. (Cause, I'm not... never have gotten into football) But, because it's time for me to plan any needed alternate (escape) routes... you know, to keep me away from campus should I need to travel on game day. So, if you need to … [Read more...]
