    So it wasn’t quite that bad, but we got a lot of snow. I’ve got several pictures to prove it too.

    Two posts in one day. Technically, no. But it is two posts in under twelve hours. When’s the last time you saw that? Huh? Huh? Yeah, I can’t remember either. To the point then: I was catching up on some news…the Planet Gnome sort. Someone mentioned that they had given in, and created a myspace profile. For the record (and those who don’t already know): I hate myspace. I was about ready to fly into a blind rage, and delete my profile, until I got there, and saw some friend requests, and new messages and such. Jon posted 2 comments, and I’d like to take a moment to say, “I miss you guys too”. (more…)

    A fancy word to describe Christmas lights: shining forth brightly. In that vein, I’ve finally posted some pictures of our Christmas lights. So far, I’ve only posted the outside ones. I’ll have the rest up by tomorrow morning.

    Update: The rest of the pics are up, along with a few updated pics of the new house (in the New New House album). We spent (are spending) Christmas with Amanda’s parents. We had a super time going out to eat, gabbing, and opening all sorts of presents. I took pictures (of course), and they are also going to be in the Christmas 2006 gallery. I’ll start the upload now, and let it finish overnight (oh 56k modem, how I love thee…).

    Terms that should be mutually exclusive. Also, terms that should not both be appended to the name of a soft drink.

    Frequently, I get surveys for points at mypoints. Today was one of the first times I actually qualified for said survey. The last round was for some Microsoft garbage, and due to my obvious bias, I didn’t answer the questions to qualify correctly. Anyway, the one I took today was for a Coke product that had no calories, but yet was an energy drink. I’m not sure how this works exactly. In fact, I’m pretty sure this wasn’t even a real product…yet. My favorite part was when they listed the pricing scheme:

    20 oz. bottle: $1.29

    2 liter bottle: $1.09

    12-pack (12 oz. cans): $2.99

    That’s amazing! You mean I can pay more, and receive approximately 40 ounces less? Neat! Rad! Awesome! The sad thing is, that’s pretty much the way things are, and there’s still no revolution. Revolution? Good grief, it’s only pop. Maybe sometimes I get too worked up over things… Nope, I don’t think so.

  • loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong

    That’s the amount of time that has passed since I last updated my site. Way TOO long, if you ask me, which none of you did. Life is progressing, ever rapidly, and I’ve obviously been busy. Busy doing what?

    • pulling cable in the new building (the LLHSLC)
      • network
      • television
      • phone
    • learning all the ins and outs of our new records software at the school
      • setting up the web interface
      • fixing permissions for people
      • giving them accounts so that they have permissions in the first place
      • helping people figure out how to do things they were trained to do (even if I wasn’t trained at all for that task)
    • helping Amanda with the Ellendale High School play (lighting, sound, set, etc.)
      • every school should have a CD player hooked up to their sound system (we’re not in the 80’s anymore)
    • learning Perl
