Farting around with my little digi-camera today, while mulling over the possibilities of the Nikon D80, when I noticed 3 pictures from our hotel in Tokyo saved to the root folder of the cameras' internal memory! Take that subspace!

Now behold a hotel I may never be able to afford again! (not that one would call 'affording' what I did last time.)

The New Otani Tokyo Garden:

With my trusty camera phone on hand, I've managed to snap a few notable pics of my surroundings since I've been back from New York. (not including those from Tokyo)


Texas FTW!



New Football and Track feild at work.



Sever backup, with those 'plans'.



Aug means big storms.



It brews.



Simply everyone I know has a birthday in Aug! This is for you... all!



Sometimes, real horsepower beats everything. Pow!



September means putting up the lawnmower.


October rain, a break in sight!



All hail the coming of Hephaestus!

Check this out!

Well, what do we think?

I just got her installed this afternoon, may be a few bits missing, but I plan on phasing out my old phpBB2 system in favor of this SMF. phpBB2 is nice and stable, but this other one seems to conform better to the website in general.

I know very few people even know we had a forum, much less used it, but believe it or not it was once a happening place (before the great deadonque.com crash of 2005,) and I intend to get it back to that level once again. Take note of "Dead on Que Dot Com: The Novel" it's an ongoing tale written in turns by Mike and I. Expect new chapters all the time.

I bought an Xbox 360!

Other than the idea that getting a new $400 model for $340 was too good to pass up, I don't know why!

The only game I think I'll get right now is Dead Rising. I can't afford both a 2nd controller and DoA 4 right now, so those will have to wait a month or so. I do also plan on getting a gold subscription and some Marble Blast Ultra before too long.

Anyway, it's in the mail as I type, I expect to have it within a week or so. I'll post honest impressions after a full weekend of play.
