I'm going to buy laundry detergent there from now on

IT'S EPIC I TELLS YOU, EPIC

Hey There Delilah

Mr. Ed Was a Hoarse

Just like my voice is today. I had no voice at all this morning when I woke up, and slowly over the day I can make enough sound to be audible (barely). I can whisper what I'm trying to say louder than speak.

And yes, I still came to work today. I'm pretty hardcore like that.

I'll Take 2

If I could have any car in the world at the moment it would be the one pictured above. A Nissan GT-R (Also known in other parts of the world as the SKYLINE). It is going on sale in the U.S. this June 2008 (just in time for my birthday, hint, hint).

1/4 mile in 11.6 seconds

If you are reading this Maria, I would like a black one.

Keeping Up With The Joneses

I always like to at least stay within earshot of the cutting edge when it comes to electronics and geeky stuff, it's what I like. I have been wanting a HDTV for a good while now, and while I understand that since we have cable we don't need to upgrade anything to get ready for the digital switchover, that doesn't make me want one any less.

A few days ago I ordered this for my PC, a HDTV Tuner Card that will allow me to watch digital tv and analog tv right on my computah. I had to go dig out my rabbit ears last night and try this puppy out. I couldn't find the power cord for my old aplified tv antenna, so my signal was dropping in and out, but once I found a nice position I got about 5 HD channels over the air. Watched a bit of Jericho.. then my jaw really dropped when I watched some Letterman. It was just so damn sharp and clear... looking forward to watching some sports on it later in the year.

I think down the road I am going to build a home theater pc and it's going to use one of these cards.

College basketball is in full swing now.. the glory of the bracket. I'm in a large work pool for this... Kansas and UCLA FTW!

Camera Phone

I got a new Phone. It has a camera on it (rare, I know). Here are some pics I took from this past weekend.

Leaving On A Jet Plane

So, it's official. The Maryland contingent of the Stewart family is heading West for the green pastures and cow patties of Missouri this summer. We are going to be in Warrensburg and the surrounding area from May 31st to June 7th.

Looking forward to seeing everybody (Tember, I'm sure you're the only one out there that reads this.. maybe Jenna too, can't wait to see you guys.)

And flying with 4 kids with a layover in Chicago should be interesting to say the least. And having to buy 5 full price tickets is fun too... we will be starting a telethon soon to help keep us out of the poor house.

That's a lock

I think we might need to put a padlock on everything. Clothes dressers, closets, refrigerator, bathroom, bedrooms, beds... everything. Maria and I are finding out firsthand how destructive and messy 2 & 3 year old boys can be. Pearl isn't totally innocent in this though, she did paint that nice mural on our upstairs hallway.

If you have a lot of little kids, don't bother buying anything nice for the house until they are old enough to grow a beard and vote.

OH... almost forgot. My bag of crap was really a bag of crap. I got an atomic wristwatch (not sure if it even works), a clown punching bag, reel butler, & digital camera bag.

CRAPTASTIC! DON'T GET THE CRAP YOU WANT, WANT THE CRAP YOU GET!
