Ten Trillion and Counting…

This is a frontline episode that talks about the national debt and how the country’s deficit is exploding. It also talks about how both political parties are at fault, and how the US needs to come to terms on the problem to start working on fixing it. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tentrillion/view/

John Mayer

In case you’ve been in a bubble and are in dire need of decent music,  I highly recommend John Mayer.  There’s a few songs from him below.  If you happen to be a singer/songwriter, check out John’s web site blog @ http://www.johnmayer.com/battlestudies/. A recent post called “Conscious Composition” is very cool.  Good Stuff.  So what album is his best?  Well […]

Howie Day @ The Bluebird

Stuart was gracious in surprising me with a Howie Day ticket tonight. Man my bro can be a cool cat. At the venue Stuart ran around taking some great pics of Howie live. Highly recommended if you like phenomenal guitar and smart songwriter lyrics. Pics are @ www.skfunphoto.com. Below are a few video’s of Howie doing his thing.  His talent […]

Sun Cheatsheet

Bye MobileMe…

Buying a hosted domain: $100 Buying a pro membership on smugmug: $60 Installing WordPress: $0 Able to manage my familiy’s websites with freedom and without major pain: Priceless! I recently started a journey on removing my dependancy on Apple’s MobileMe services. When .Mac ruled the land with web-based wonders, life was good. Then Apple decided to trash what worked with […]

RC Flying fun with the Padilla’s

Today was a great day: planes, friends, and no trashed planes at the end – Perfect! Below are a few photo’s from the day’s events. The smurf lookin’ guy is me, and Grace and AJ are in the mix as well. We went to the Miniature Aero Sportsters field to fly and the hospitality was wonderful. A number of “Pros” […]

Flying RC’s today

Today I think I’ll be flying some of my Remote Contol Planes and Heli’s. It’s been a long time so today may end in tragedy! I think I’ll fly out at the Miniature Aero Sportsters site north of DIA. It’s a bit of a drive but the area is beautiful and it’s rare to be able to see real jumbo’s […]

Flobots Rock

My Bro-man Stuart turned me on to a local band called the Flobots a while ago and I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to hear intelligent lyrics again. It took a while for me to warm up to them, but now Debi and I like to rock to them on a regular basis. We really do it up […]

Gennaro’s Busted…

I just found out the Italian restaurant Gennaro’s next to Mr. Roper was closed due to a gambling ring – Awesome! LJ, one of the bartenders was shown on the news broadcast as being involved. Boy, this town is lively! I do miss the food… Here’s a link to the news story on channel 7 and the Court Case Document… […]

Fixing the command “man” in OSX

The command ‘man’ in terminal has an annoying feature: it clears the screen on exit. So if you find a command line switch you want to try, when you exit man the detail all disappears. To correct this, change the following line in /private/etc/man.conf: PAGER /usr/bin/less -is to PAGER /usr/bin/less -isX

Bold vs iPhone

After buying both the iPhone and iPhone 3g, I became frustrated with the typical iPhone problems – spotty 3g network access, no cut-n-paste, etc. As a result, I was excited about the Bold and got one right when it came out. Having used a crackberry in the past was I confident that it would be the device for me. I […]
