I don’t know why the experts are saying there are over 1 billion bees missing. I know exactly where they are. I found them all over my yard this weekend. I have a ton under a holly bush in my front yard. I have wasps that try to build nests on [...]

Spider Pig, Spider Pig
Posted in Entertainment on Jul 28th, 2007
I just got back from the Simpsons Movie and it was awesome. If you have ever been a fan of the Simpsons at all you’ll really like this movie. Now if I could only get the song “Spider Pig” out of my head.

I’m going to tell you something that your family and friends aren’t - you look like a complete tool when you walk in to the restaurant with that bluetooth headset on your ear.

Feel it in your hand. Run your finger across it. Flick left. Now right. Try up and down as well. Bring your fingers together, now apart and watch the size change. Feels amazing, doesn’t it? Is it heavier than you expected? A little more substantial?
That’s the way I felt when I touched an iPhone for [...]

Posted in Personal on Jul 7th, 2007
UPDATE - added a few pictures of the new car, just click on the picture to the left.
Shopping for a new car is one of my least favorite things to do. It was time to let my 2003 Passat go so it was time to start the process.
My search started with a new Mini [...]
