CraftyKnittyKitty
Wanted to let everybody know that Ronda has a new blog over at: Crafty Knitty Kitty.com, where she'll be writing about her kitties, her knitting, and everything else she adores. I doubt our 1080p HDTV will come up in conversation over there, nor will the Cowboys 153 yards in penalties this past weekend. Although if you bring it up over there I'm sure Ronda will be more than happy to christen the site with a few F-bombs.

Strange Things are Afoot at the Local Petsmart Dude
So the last few times Ronda and I have been to Petsmart I've hung out in the parking lot (which allows Ronda more time to give all of our hard-earned money to homeless kitties), but I digress. The last time I was waiting in the truck, two good looking young ladies (whom I presumed to be sisters) came out of the store, loaded up into the vehicle next to me, then proceeded to start making out. I was dialing the phone to call my buddy, so the next debate I had was, "look away? don't look away? what do I do? what's the protocol here? it's a parking lot?" Needless to say I decided to keep on calling my buddy, and ask him what he thought.
They drove away, and while my buddy laughed at my dilemma, another car pulled up, a mom and her young son jumped out. The son proceeded to stand in front of their car, pull his shirt over his head, while his mom took a picture....then they jumped back in the car and drove off. The hell??
So apparently strange things are afoot at the Petsmart.
Then this week, here we go again to the Petsmart, so this time I've got my camera phone ready. Sure enough, look what pulls up in the parking lot. This town is weird sometimes.

The InterWeb
Well, ladies and gentlemen, so begins another hobby for the world to see. It's my new webcomic called "THE INTERWEB".For the longest time I used to use photoshop to make some gag jokes, but it usually took far too much work to hunt down just the right pictures, make all the right edits, and so on. I always figured I didn't have enough talent to draw, so I eventually turned to the realm of animation, where I took pre-existing models, (typically from video games), posed them, made screen captures, manipulated them in Photoshop, then used Flash to animate them.
Well, after spending several months on my last cartoon, which was a resounding success in my book, I realized that the only way to maintain success on that level was to bust my butt animating for at most a 4 minute joke. Feh!
So I decided that I'd much rather go for quantity than quality, although I'd still like to maintain some level of quality if you know what I mean. So with that in mind, what you're looking at is my first attempt at my little gem of a web comic. Now, before you go thinking I've went and grown myself an ego....no, I don't anticipate this being anything more than a venue for some (hopefully) good jokes. I stress hopefully.
So come by once in a while. I don't plan on trying to sell you on the site here. I hope to update as fast as I can draw, and I hope to draw faster as I get better at drawing, inking, and coloring. I've only been drawing for two weeks, which is fairly obvious, but I think I've got a good idea here.

Came across a couple of noteworthy websites that I thought I'd share. First, a link to the National Sex Offender Registry, which is in essence a mapped amalgamation with a national sex offender database allowing you to see the locations/identities/mug shots of sex offenders in your neighborhood. Creepy as hell to see how many live in my neck of the woods (6!).
On a lighter note, here's an awesome Einstein website that allows you to put funny stuff on the chalkboard, appearing as if Einstein wrote it. I wrote "After careful manipulations to several of my universal scientific truths, the following calculation was derived:
Fritz = Bitch

Here's a great link from Lifehacker detailing how to rip a CD, sync the MP3s to your iPod, then play any music off your iPod from any computer without ever having to install anything on that computer...and not once will you have to open iTunes to do it.

Math Will Rock Your World: If guys with math degrees are getting six figure salaries, I'm going back to school...
Finally! For years I've been waiting for the capability to do this. Essentially imagine having the ability to immediately share files with specific friends and family. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Big deal, I can already send any files I want via email." Which is true, but time consuming and cumbersome, plus limited by the capacity of your smtp server.
"AllPeers" is an extension for Firefox that creates a simple, persistent buddy list in your browser. You'll be able to share files immediately with your friends and family, all from the browser. Even better, they can get an RSS feed of new files, with a single click download them to their hard-drive, and you don't even have to be online...because AllPeers is a bittorrent client, and will allow files to be pulled from multiple sources.
It's essentially a basket floating in Cyberspace in which you and all your friends can share movies, music, photos, or any other files you want, securely. It's not out yet, but will be soon.

The 2005 NCAA Football Championship Trophy
It took all of Tony's maturity to keep from doing a "suck it" pose.
Texas Longhorns: National Champions!!!
And it shall be known that in the late hours of January 4, 2005, a "Boh Hell Yeah" of nigh-mythic proportion was issued. In celebration of this night, here are some little known facts about our Quarterback, Vince Young:
Vince Young Facts
# Vince Young's tears cure cancer. But he is so badass, he has never cried. Ever.
# Vince Young does not sleep. He waits.
# Vince Young is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.
# The chief export of Vince Young is touchdowns.
# If you can see Vince Young, he can see you. If you can't see Vince Young, you may be only seconds away from death.
# Vince Young has counted to infinity. Twice.
# Vince Young does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Vince Young goes killing.
# Vince Young doesn’t wash his clothes, he disembowels them.
# Vince Young is 1/8th Cherokee. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man ate a fucking Indian.
# In fine print on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Vince Young, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone else has ever gotten.
# Crop circles are Vince Young's way of telling the world that sometimes corn needs to lie the fuck down.
# Vince Young is ten feet tall, weighs two-tons, breathes fire, and could eat a hammer and take a shotgun blast standing.

# There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Vince Young allows to live.
# Vince Young once ate three 72 oz. steaks in one hour. He spent the first 45 minutes having sex with his waitress.

Fire by our house.
So there was a big fire behind our house today. We were having a party while watching bowl games, and everybody assumed that the smoke in the house was coming from our grill (fajitas and steaks, weeee!!!). It wasn't until I saw my neighbors watering their backyard fence did I spot the fire. You can see one of the fire trucks in the picture dousing the area with water.
