Life-long movie lover and LaserDisc collector, computer user since age ten, espresso snob and hobbyist barista, learning to cook, seasoned fledgling magician, wannabe photographer, reformed drug addict, disc golfer, Psion 5mx user, PS3/PSP enthusiast (but only a casual gamer), amateur nurse, city guy temporarily stuck in a very small town and rarely stops complaining about it…
ya’ know… the usual stuff...

reading my Twitter timeline will keep you updated on my day-to-day life and i have recently begun posting pics and videos from my phone to my flickr photostream and my YouTube channel, respectively...
i have reluctantly given up on Zannel for fear of them folding like so many other social media services recently, but i still have countless pics and vids there... and i think my Dashwire and TwitPic days are over...
i love photography and i also use flickr to show off my photographs and snapshots, though i don't update it often enough, but here's my personal faves i've taken and here's my faves i WISH i took...
Wakoopa knows all about what desktop software i use...
Del.icio.us is where i keep all my favorite bookmarks...
and i am always adding interesting news/blog items i've read to my Google Reader shared items...
you can learn a lot about my taste in movies at my Netflix profile and yes, i own about 350 LaserDiscs and they are all listed on my LDDb collection page...
i don't listen to much music but i go through phases when i look to Last.fm and/or Pandora to try to satisfy my needs...
btw, people complain because i never use my MySpace and Facebook and i usually don't even remember i have an account on StumbleUpon and i haven't gone to my LiveJournal in years...
i also own insidiousplots.com, jesusfreakgeek.com, abqdiscgolf.com, nmdiscgolf.com, and baristopher.com...
and, for years, everything else kind of ends up in the old stuff directory...

My lifestream software is really pissing me off AGAIN… The digest hasn’t worked right in months and now the stream itself is screwed up..

Cant believe i logged into myspace – i feel so dirty :P and kind of sad, reminded of people i sometimes feel like i’ll never be with again.
|
|
|
Call it whatever – i’ve heard it all – but i don’t really stay in touch with people back home in abq… And it’s been about 20 months…
|
|
|
When i think about it, there were no less than 12 people that were close friends, another 20 or so that i talked to at least every few days.
|
|
|
Sheesh, now i’m wondering how i had so much time for so many people plus work, ministry, and i am sure i slept somewhere in there :P

Made a couple of caramel lattes with breakfast and they turned out pretty good… Still need more tests, though… (like shot-after-shot)

And i still have my same old complaints about this machine – starting with the non-variable steam wand! Wtf? Why would they do that?
|
|
|
The machine has a switch for steam, sneakily disguised as a knob (and only two holes in the tip!), it is nearly impossible to make microfoam
