Laugh with me if you get it

Over the last couple of years I've slowly become a die-hard republican... Yeah, it's a long story, but I can get pretty heated under the collar, as some of you may have found out.

Anyways, tonight I was reading a thread from a blog posting about great deals online, one of such deals being "Obama and the American Story: A History of Freedom for $0." I was following the comments other readers have left, and I found the following gem:

(I started to type a long disclaimer to make Obama-supporters happy, but it got too long. If this post offends you, oh wells)


Here it goes....

  @Brendan Byrne:

  Yeah, I voted for Obama, but...it's kinda getting out of hand with the hype and the media lol.

  "Obama raises hands and lifts a nation" (CNN) /spins eyes.

  @bboysca: Shouldn't it be "Obama and the American Story: A History of Socialism"?

Off-topic – For the trekkie in all of us

Found this on the internet yesterday, thought it was fabulous!

Here’s the link, if this image is still too small to see.

Create your own original Star Trek story

On TV’s and Projectors – part 2

Eventually, however, I ended up with this guy

That’s a mitsubishi projector, off of ebay. I paid about 10% of the cost of a low-end high-def tv, for an image about 4 1/2 times the size of goodly-sized high-def tv. Here's a comparison chart, to help you get an idea of how the sizes compare:

Right, it’s just like that.

Actually, it really is pretty awesome. I don’t have any pictures of the actual screen size, but if filled out most of the wall. The kids were somewhat intimidated at first, but then they loved touching the screen and kept on trying to grab whatever was displayed on the it.

Stay tuned for chapter 3 of my amazing projector adventures!

Better comments!

If you’ve wondered where your comments to my posts went, wonder no more! I’ve changed some of my settings, so now your comments should show up right away. So, no more excuses, speak up!

Where in the world have you been????

Yeah, I’ve been….. busy. Way busy, actually. Here’s quick list of what I’ve been up to in the last little while since I last posted:

• Repaired a bunch of nintendo DS (4, to be precise)
• Modified my projector to use any type of bulb I want
• Sliced my finger, got a couple of stitches
• Got a bunch of new responsibilities at work
• Played a lot of guitar hero III (awesome!)
• Did a lot of playing with my kids

I’ll probably post individual entries for this stuff, just so I can say that, in average (by total count of post alone), I’ve been posting just as much as anybody else :-). Stay tuned!
