You can subscribe to my blog posts (which includes a daily digest of my LifeStream) via RSS 2.0, RSS .92, Atom 0.3, or Google Reader.

I have had a blog in some form since 2003, so just for fun, you could jump to a random post.

Search my posts all the way back to April 2003

The search is a little quirky, so being creative helps.
For example, a search for slumber party night will find ANY ONE of the words, while "slumber party night" (in quotes) will only find the exact phrase and I don't always use the complete phrase and sometimes I abbreviate it to SPN.
Therefore, a search for slumber spn with no quotes should find every post that mentions our little ritual.

AIBF2k5, day one

The pics are finally up!

not as good as the pics i made last year, but, meh…

i used the Experience skin again and it is annoying no end that it labels videos as directories… i even added comments to the vids, so the comments would appear under the icon, but, it didn’t do that… so, . . . → Read More: AIBF2k5, day one

AIBF – day 10, big finish

remember the Smokey Bear balloon i took a pic of?

well, he made big news today…

with headlines like Balloon Gets Caught In Radio Tower [koat tv] and Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta ending with a bang: “Smokey the Bear” balloon is wrapped around the top of a 670ft AM radio tower, four people in gondola [fark]…
and someone in the . . . → Read More: AIBF – day 10, big finish

AIBF – day 2

so, this morning was the dawn patrol and mass ascension… the dawn patrol was pretty damn cool, but, the mass ascension was indescribably amazing…

it was pretty much impossible to count, but, there were definitely over 100, but definitely not 200… and there were a few “special shapes”, like a cow, a bottle, a scarecrow, . . . → Read More: AIBF – day 2

AIBF, day one, second event

the “Fiesta Challenge Competition Flight”…

a bit underwhelming, i must say…

it was cool, at first; a whole bunch of ‘em taking off at once, but, there weren’t THAT many (c’mon, people, you said seven hundred!), it took up a very small section of vision, and they only went a very short distance and then landed (except . . . → Read More: AIBF, day one, second event

i said i’d be ready next time and at about 9am i walked out on the balcony and had to dash in to grab a camera…

and then it was gone…

but, the Albuquerque International Balloon Festival starts friday morning!

NINE hot-air balloons from my balcony

yes, at 8am this morning, there were five visible out the window from where i sit on the couch now, so, i went out on the balcony and counted a total of nine…
none of them were very close, but, what a sight as they just hang there in the sky…
i tried to take a couple pics, . . . → Read More: NINE hot-air balloons from my balcony
