I have been saying to everyone who can hear me speak,(about 2/3 of the male population and a sampling of the female population it seems only about 1/5), that I need a new computer.  The one I have now is just getting slower and slower and takes longer and longer and now has started to not boot up properly from time to time.

Well, I have been wanting to get a new laptop.  However, I don't travel all that much and when I do, I end up only using an Internet browser anyway. 

Therefore, I have decided that I can get the most bang for my buck with a desktop.  Woot.com happened to have a great desktop for sale today so I jumpted on it.

I am excited to get it.  It probably won't get here for three weeks, so be prepared to listen to me complain.

I had a first round of logos created for Hilbert Solutions, LLC a while back.  I then got super busy and haven't done much with them.  Do you like any of them?

A while back I blogged about how Annie and I each had gotten the Midnightbox.com, "Mystery Box".

Well, we got them in the mail last night and they were decent.  I should note that it came in an envelop, that in no way, looked like a box.

Here is what we got between the two boxes.

2 - Midnightbox.com pen.  One mini pen with lanyard and one regular type pen.

2 - Compaq, retractable phone cord device, that is great for that 1997 road warrior.

1 - USB mini hub.  Nice.

1 - USB Light with a USB Car Adaptor.  Suprisingly useful.

4 - IPod Nano covers (Annie took them to school to give away, due to the lack of anything Apple in our house, besides the apples I eat everyday for lunch)

Overall, not a bad haul.

I was looking through some old pictures and came across this gem. 

Nothing like two dweebs acting like they are kissing the emperor at Celebration III in 2005.

I was chatting on Skype with some friends this week about NES games that are still awesome to play even today.  We are defining awesome, in that you can still enjoy sitting down and playing them for a few hours or few a days.  In no particular order.

• Super Mario Brothers
• Contra
• Mike Tyson's Punchout
• Tetris
• Bionic Commando
• RC Pro-Am
• Mega Man
• Marble Madness

What do you think?

During Thanksgiving this past year, I declared that this Christmas was going to be a bearded Christmas for me.  I ended up shaving once in December, but then didn't shave again until the end of January, except for my cheeks.  I also didn't cut my hair for several months.   I shaved off my facial hair in stages over a few days.   See the results.....

Stage One, only cheeks have been shaved.  That is about 10 weeks without a haircut and 5 weeks without shaving.

Phase two, a haircut and, what I like to call the cowboy look.   I actually liked this look pretty well.  I might sport it at some point in the future. 

Phase three, the mustache phase.  Annie hated the mustache, she couldn't...

My mom has been writing daily emails containing thoughts, views, interpetations and explainations on the Bible.  I have encouraged her to setup a blog to store all her writings.   Well she did!
