  • Monday 25 | Wii bonus

    So one of the benefits of working where I do is that they offer bonuses for certain accomplishments. Accomplishments like getting your architect’s license (done) and LEED AP accreditation (June 26?). But the current economic situation has been really hard on our industry. Many clients don’t have money for construction and those that do, are [...]

  • Sunday 24 | I wonder why this went straight to video

    Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus trailer from Asylum Home Entertainment The California coast is terrorized by two enormous prehistoric sea creatures as they battle each other for supremacy of the sea and only Deborah “Foolish Beat” Gibson and Lorenzo Lamas of Black Dawn fame (not to be confused with Red Dawn) can save us from [...]

  • Thursday 7 | Adam Lambert – go home

    Got this email from our office manager… Tomorrow morning, Adam Lambert (a finalist on American Idol) will be at the radio station across the street at 8:00 AM. Lambert will arrive via police escort. The station is inviting people to come down and see him . . . for what it is worth. . . [...]

  • Tuesday 5 | I don’t like Buffalo

    I’m not that fond of BBQ either. What? You thought I had something against The Queen City? No, it’s Jack in the Box’s new Mini Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwiches. They’re like miniature crispy chicken sandwiches but instead of ketchup and mustard, they use buffalo wing and ranch sauce. Now don’t go protesting on my account. [...]

  • Tuesday 5 | Health plus Nuts equals Compact Impact

    This is actually a rehashing of an old post but it seems really relevant these days. Compact Impact sells (for around $10) playful versions of the paper breathing mask. The very sterile looking white gauze mask inspired us to make it more cheerful and funny while still serving its purpose. This new mask is no [...]

  • Monday 4 | Cheesy Movie Nite

    Spurred on by a recent episode of Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! where Liev Schreiber answers three questions about the 19080′s classic Red Dawn. Of course this made me nostalgic for my favorite childhood films that are a little less famous than say, Star Wars. So I hope to update my DVD collection with Red [...]

  • Monday 4 | My friend, Wendy McLean

    It is with a very heavy heart that I share this. My friend Wendy McLean (aussiseeker71) passed away Sunday, May 3rd, 2009 at 3pm Australia time. She was unconscious and comfortable for the last 12 hours. I first ‘met‘ Wendy a few years back when she was a regular visitor to the Kaleo Forums. From [...]

  • Friday 1 | Books ordered

    So the first thing I did this morning was go to CanonPress.com and place my order for the The 1,2,3 Dollar Sale! I ordered Future Men, For a Glory and a Covering , and A Great Mystery among others. Some books I ordered two of because I knew I’d give one away – we usually [...]
