Snap Happy…
I just snapped 20 pictures for Rannie’s film exchange without ever leaving my living room or patio. I think I got some really good shots too – after using digital so much lately, it’s interesting to use film and not have the preview option. You have to trust your instincts, which is a [...]
Sharing the Credit…
While I hooked Heather up with the Zip Zap that she really wanted for Hanukkah for Derek, some credit goes to Mike too, since he was the one that found the only Radio Shack in Houston with a steady supply of them. With that discovery, he was able to fill my need and the [...]
Gig ‘Em, Aggies!
Unlike some people I know, I don’t normally pay a lot of attention to college football – but Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be complete without a little Aggie football! (Does it count if I’m really watching the game because I want to see the Aggie Band?) Gig’em, Aggies! Beat The Hell Outta [...]
Happy Day, Turkey!
I have many things to be thankful for this past year, most of all my wonderful family and friends. Here is wishing all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble, gobble!
News From Around the World…
News from Around the World:
:: Minnesota Man Declares Land a Sovereign Indian Nation and puts a Strip Club on It. Hmmm… well, it’s better than when he offered to sell a third of North Dakota to the Soviet Union back in 1959.
:: Law will Create ‘Playground’ for Children on the Internet They’ve approved [...]

This or That – Thanksgiving Style!
This week’s This-or-That is all about the Turkey Day! It’s a day late, but here it goes…
Chim-Chimney… Chim-Chimney..
Oh my. Now I can’t stop singing the “Chim-Chimney” song from Mary Poppins. Yes, some brilliant Texan thought that he could get in to his locked house if he slid down his chimney. When he ended up wedged in the chimney in the country where most people refuse to take the blame [...]
Where Have You Been?
So, it’s 9pm on the night before Thanksgiving, and what am I doing? Why, I’m taking a break from work! *sigh* What a day it has been! I knew when I left the office at 8:30 last night that it was going to be a long day. My boss was [...]
They Say It Gives You Good Body…
They say that beer gives you good body, but I always thought they meant your hair. You know, bouncy, beautiful, full of body hair. Now There’s Beer to Wash Away Your Troubles and you can find out what it does to your body too! A German brewery has developed a brew you [...]
In Route!
I’m so excited! I just got news from tyd that the film for Rannie’s Film Exchange Project is in route to my house! I have to finish shooting my roll still over Thanksgiving vacation and then mine will be on it’s way too!
More great news – I just discovered that my boss was [...]
Late for the Party…
Yesterday was a crazy busy day and I was doing work related stuff until 11:30 last night, leaving me only minutes for fun & play with Kymberlie’s Zip Zap but nothing more. What happens when I have to work like that? I miss all the important things going on around me, like the [...]
500 Photos and Still Going Strong!
The 500th entry has now been posted at Picture Yourself! I decided last week to reserve the 10 spots after 500 for people who have been absolutely fundamental in getting the project going, either with their mad code skills, their support, getting the word out to the public, or all of the above. [...]
Checking Out New Tunes…
I never use Netscape. I hate Netscape – I always have. I think that people tend to love the first browser that they use – and for me, it was Internet Explorer. Today I had to open up the Netscape browser though because my IE is corrupted and won’t let me save [...]
A Spooky Prelude…
Photos #498 and #499 are a spooky prelude to the 500th entry over at Picture Yourself!
Wheeeeeee!!!
Mike found Zip Zaps for me yesterday! Out of the blue he called me to let me know that he had picked two of them up for me at his local Radio Shack store. He still wanted one though, and when Kymberlie found out that we could get another one, she decided to [...]
I Love Blue…
“Blue is such a cool color too. The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. According to the science of color psychology, it causes the opposite reaction as red: Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews [...]
Send Some Love…
Michele is raising money for Pizza for IDF. I still think she should have called the campaign “Hooters for Hannakuh” and collected boobie shots to gain more attention from everyone, but that’s not the point – the point is, help out. Donate. Read even more about it here if you’re interested!
Comics are for Kids!
Here in Texas, we don’t just arrest women for having 17 sex toys in her car, we also arrest store employees for selling adult comic books to adults! Yes, a Dallas store manager was arrested for selling an adult oriented, sex story, comic book to an undercover cop. He was convicted and appealled [...]
That’s It!
After watching Tom’s ZipZap home movie, I MUST GO BUY ONE NOW! That thing just rocks! Matter of fact, I just called my local Radio Shack and they might have some! They have 18 there, and while they have a list he thinks he has some to sell – so I think [...]
