I’m sitting in an airport in Springfield, Missouri waiting to board a flight to Chicago. Brandon and I are headed to the windy city for a couple of days. You can count on lots of shots in the coming weeks, assuming I get some good stuff! See ya in a coupe of days.
Fun bowling time with my kids.
I never get tired of singing songs like this in Church.
I’d heard tons about how good Lost is but never really got into it. Well, I rented the DVD’s of Season 1 and I’m addicted. I’ve watched all of Season 1 in the past week. I’m now trying to download Season 2 from the torrents, since the DVD for Season 2 doesn’t come out until October and I don’t want to wait that long to get caught up!
So, when does Season 3 start? :)
On another note I’ve been listening to the soundtrack to Lost and am digging it. It makes me want to go home and watch the show!
Update: I finished watching all of Season 1 and Season 2. Alot of questions were answered by the end of Season 2 but there’s still much that isn’t. Of course if there wasn’t I wouldn’t be looking forward to Season 3 would I? :)
Interesting read over at Google Blogoscoped about multi-tasking that made me go hmmmmm, that’s why I don’t seem to get as much done as I feel like I should!

While reading the recent copy of Windows IT Pro magazine I saw an ad for their upcoming conferences and decided to look into them. This coming November Microsoft and Windows IT Pro will be holding several conferences in Las Vegas. The conferences cover a number of topics like Exchange, Windows, SQL Server, Office, ASP.NET, Visual Studio .net and others. We are looking at attending the Exchange and Windows conferences which you can attend both for the same price. Here is just a sample of the sessions to be held:
There are also supposed to be a number of hands on workshops that cost extra. The conference looks to be packed with good info, not to mention being held in Las Vegas. The cost for the conference is $1295 if you register before September 18th and $1395 if you register after. The dates for the conference are November 6th-9th and is being held at the Mandalay Bay Resort. Maybe we’ll see ya there!
Awhile back I did a piece on the Razr cell phone and part of that article talked about getting wallpapers to the phone by bluetooth. I also had some sample wallpapers that I made at the default size for the razr which is 176×220. As I’ve looked through the stats for our site I noticed alot of people coming to from searches for 176×220 wallpapers, so I thought I’d post some more. I always want new wallpapers for my phone or computer becuase I just can’t stand it to look the same very long. Feel free to download these and use them on your devices, don’t feel free to post them elsewhere without giving proper credit. With the exception of the Narnia wallpaper the rest are all from my photoblog Jasonspix.com
If you read back in some of my earlier posts you’ll see where I talked about going 3 months without pop. I ended up going 9 weeks before I gave up. The hardest part of going without pop was the initial week. The reason I gave up wasn’t necessarily because I just had to have pop, but because the results weren’t as dramatic as I had expected.
I figured I’d lose more weight than I did (not that I really need to lose a lot) and my energy level after 2 months was not much higher than before. So I decided I was done with that experiment and decided to give exercise a try.
I’ve never been one for routine exercise, I’ve always been skinny and even now at 35 I haven’t put on that much weight. I’m actually statistically right in the weight range that is ideal for my age, height and sex. However, i have noticed that there is more weight settling in my mid-section. So I signed up at a fitness center and have been going 2 and 3 times a week for 3 weeks now. I have to say that I have noticed a significant difference in just the 3 weeks, much more so than the 9 weeks with no pop. So, hopefully I can keep this up.
While reading the May issue of Wired I ran across a short article about a UK based TV show called “The IT Crowd.” I’m always up for new shows and this one got my attention since I’m in IT (or MIS or IS or Stupid computer guys or whatever you call the computer department in your company). We jumped on a bitTorrent search and found the 6 episodes from season one readily available.
I’ve only watched the first episode but it cracked me up. I have to admit that I’m a geek, but not quite as hardcore geeky as these guys. At least I don’t think I am.
Anyways, check it out. If you work or have ever worked in the computer department of a business you’ll get a kick out of it. Like I said I only watched the first episode so I can’t vouch for the cleanliness of the show yet, but what I did watch was clean. The show is produced by the same guy who did the original “The Office” show and from the episodes I watched of that show it was not clean at all.
UPDATE: I have watched another episode and there were a few curse words. There were some that were bleeped out as well, so it’s not totally clean.
