We recently had a funniest YouTube video competition at work and this little nugget of humor was my submission. Enjoy. Or not.

It has been 3 months since anything new and relatively meaningful has been and I mean to remedy that situation in the coming weeks. I had been holding off on upgrading all the tools that power this site (WordPress, Gallery2, and the WPG2 plugin) until WPG2 2.1 was solid. Now that WPG2 2.1 is almost ready to go gold I figured it was a good time to rejoin the blogasphere, upgrade my tools and put up some content for consumption and entertainment. I have played with many cool goodies in the last few months including Windows Vista, LCD TV’s, DVD players, Universal remotes, new monitors, computers, and skiis just to name a few. I also have many new photos to put up inlcuding a bunch of Jami and my adventures, photos of Gummy and my thoughts on being a father. I’m looking forward to the upcoming changes and getting back on the horse so to speak… Cheers!

It’s slow, has pretty accurate results and is rather entertaining. Head on over and give Ms. Dewey a try!

We are off the Germany for the better part of a week and we are excited to get out of dodge for a little while. I will have plenty of picture when we get back and if I get a chance I will do a little writing while were in Heidelberg. Cheers!

Both teams played very strong, and it was a very entertaining game to watch. It was also nice to see the referees actually let the two teams play as opposed to calling a foul every time two opposing players touched each other… (i.e. the Italy vs US game). Germany played a very good game and the German goalkeeper played outstanding! Alas, Italy finally connnected in the end and it’s off to the finals for them.. :) Go Italy!

You can find it here. Here’s some interesting facts I discovered about the name of my development site.

Tsedang is a capital city of Lhoka prefecture in eastern Tibet, and literally means “monkey’s playground”. It is the third largest city in Tibet and monkey’s are still present in the city today. Tibet creation myth tells how, in a cave at the back of a small mountain in Tsedang, a saintly monkey and an ogress gave birth to the Tibetan people. Their early history including the reigns of some 30 semi-mythical kings, and the mild weather and fertile land of the region gestated the great Tibet dynasty. Consider this your history lesson for the day…

It is a faint heartbeat but it is alive. I have some other goodies to install and configure and some visual work to do, but things are coming along. We’ll have some meaningful content soon, so check back in a while and you might find something interesting.
