A Day Late for Downtown Orlando

Angel and I are getting married next March.  We have been diligently saving money with the best intention of purchasing a home of our own.  The overlying goal is to relocate in or around the Downtown Orlando area.  We’re in our mid twenties with no children, so we think it would be nice to set […]

Past Halloween Photos Posted

We posted all the Halloween photos from 2000, 2002, and 2003.  Marc, our favorite computer security analyst, failed to back up the hard drive containing our 2004 photos.  This drive inevitably crashed.  So, if any of our friends have copies of photos from Donny’s 2004 Halloween Party, please let us know.  In 2005 we never […]

What I Learned on Google Trends

For some reason I haven’t heard of much hype surrounding Google Trends.  I actually stumbled across it by complete accident.  It’s basically a Google search engine that compares the popularity of any number of search terms (separated by commas… democrat, republican, etc.).  It then outputs statistics and graphs based on both the search term popularity […]

Photos from my 24th B-day

We posted a few photos taken last night in downtown Orlando while celebrating my 24th b-day.  I had a really great time!  Thanks to those that made it special.  Oh, and it was great to see Lentz back on the prowl.  1708

Walking Away from a Dream

When I was 14 years old I had only one prized possession, my skateboard.  My neighborhood buddies and I used to tear up the streets of South Miami on our skateboards every day after school and all weekend long.  We would practice special jumps and tricks for hours until we had conquered them.  On a […]
