Now what?

A mishmash of thoughts on religion, life, technology, and whatnot.

Winter Geocaching

Scenes from around the Wolf River as we were out geocaching yesterday: [gallery] Because of the great weather we've had over the break, I've had the chance to get in some geocache hunts. Today we hit a couple of the easier park and grab ones while out for lunch, but the main ...

Hey Ladies - The Best Music of 2008

Why Hey Ladies? There's a significant trend this year with a record number of female voices in my choices for this year's mix—half of the songs. Last year, it was two. The other big trend was that this was the year of the male/female duo, most of them married couples. ...

Nothing Lasts

You know, before the season began, I was expecting a slow, but steady improvement with the 2008 edition of the Alabama Crimson Tide. 10 wins for the year was a goal that was realistic. I figured we'd drop a game to 2 of the 3 of Clemson, UGA, or ...

Geocaching iPhone app

The Ultimate Apple Weblog just posted a review of the official iPhone geocaching app on their site. Anna and I have been going out and geocaching on weekends using my iPhone. We had tried it out a year or so earlier, but she was just a little bit too young. ...

Change the GOP Can Believe In

Congressman Paul in an commentary on cnn.com: In the rise and fall of the recent Republican reign of power these past decades, the goal of the party had grown to be only that of gaining and maintaining power -- with total sacrifice of the original Republican belief in shrinking the size ...

Happy Armistice Day

My grandfather served in WWII under Gen. Hodges in Patton's army. He didn't talk about it. He never wore camouflage again, or military green, and I don't think he ever fired a gun again either. I think it pretty much scarred him for life. I don't think it's easy to ...

Boxee

OK, enough politics for a while. I haven't done a lot of tech/music blogging lately, which is what I originally was doing with this blog. I have a Mac mini hooked up to my TV at home to use as a media center. Front Row is adequate for watching movies and ...

Obama Administration in the News

• Sen. Schumer supports the Fairness Doctrine. Look, I despise Hannity too, but he has a right to say it, and if he got no ratings, he wouldn't have a show. The government should quit interfering in the media. Why do we need this? Sure, radio is in the tank for the ...

Paul to GOP: Stop Acting Like Democrats

Apparently the youth vote, once again did not materialize, contrary to opinion, which confirms what Chuck Todd was saying on NBC. This election was about Bush, Bush, and Bush. I hope that some folks actually checked out the Naomi Wolf documentary I posted a few days ago. It really is frightening ...

Great Stuff from the App Store

It's amazing how many apps are released in 1 week for the iPhone. Since the App Store was launched, I've followed the RSS feed from PinchMedia that lists all the apps that get added, and there are easily 500 per week. Most are useless, or lousy, but out of 500 ...
