Keeping Me on my (Frozen) Toes
Jan 31st
Winter has finally found Ohio.
Last weekend was pretty eventful. We visited with two of the elders from our church one night, the preacher's family and another family on another night, and went out for lunch with the Monette's (another family from ch… more »
Optimism and Luck
Jan 28th
I had often suspected this. I feel that my positive outlook and open mind have often brought me good fortune. Of course, most of it is a result of God. It's because of my trust in him that I have such an optimistic attitude most of the time.

"Jesus Christ" by Brand New
Jan 25th
Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone that could save
If they don't put me away
It’ll be a miracle
Do you believe you're missing out?
That everything good is happening somewhere else
With nobody in your bed

Fútbol Americano
Jan 22nd
I have never liked watching Football. I have never really liked watching any sport, for that matter. Last night was an exception.
Molly's sister is a huge fan of the Indianapolis Colts and has been for quite a while. Last night, Molly's parents were… more »
Visual Security: 9-block IP Identification
Jan 22nd
This guy created a "privacy protecting derivative of each commenter's IP address to build a 9-block image and displaying it next the commenter's name" for his blog. Which means that everyone gets their own little unique icon which is created by processin… more »
Hot Date
Jan 20th
I had a date last night with this beautiful girl named Molly.
I wore a dress shirt and tie, while she wore a black dress that was breathtaking.
We went to Palmer's Grille here in Strongsville. It had a great romantic atmosphere: low lights, candl… more »
Zathura: A Space Adventure
Jan 18th
8.5/10
This movie was pretty much awesome. It had me on the edge of my seat during the suspenseful scenes, relating to the struggles between the two brothers, and laughing at the good use of humor. I'd highly recommend it for families with kids in… more »
A Scanner Darkly
Jan 18th
7.5/10
Very creative story and cinematography. The entire film was shot as live action and then a team of animators went back and drew over each scene frame by frame. It took 500 hours of animating per minute of film.
It wasn't a very engrossin… more »
I Hate Windows Media Player
Jan 17th
I stupidly installed Windows Media Player 11 tonight.
Yeah, thanks for disabling my audio, Microsoft. That's exactly what I wanted from your newest media player. How did you know?
Rolling back to Windows Media Player 10 didn't fix the problem, ei… more »
New York Christmas
Jan 10th
Last Friday, I took off from work so Molly and I could drive out to Pennsylvania. We got a bit of a late start due to some difficulties, but we made it there by 6 o'clock. We said hello to my family and unloaded the car, then we went to the China House B… more »

why’s (poignant) guide to ruby
Jan 9th
This is one of the best guides to learning Ruby that I have found online. It's especially good for people who are new to programming, but it's also a great read for experienced programmers.
You might want to give it a read even if you are an expert R… more »
A Prairie Home Companion
Jan 4th
2/10
Awesome cast, horrible film.
Garrison Keillor was the writer for the real 'A Prairie Home Companion' radio show. He also wrote the screenplay for and played himself in this movie. I don't like him one bit.
There was no point, it wasn't… more »
My Super Ex-Girlfriend
Jan 4th
5.5/10
Not nearly as funny as it should have been. The quality of the movie wasn't that great either. It was kind of like watching a Scary Movie film without all the gag jokes.
A huge drawback to this film was the main guy's best friend. He's a… more »
Casino Royale
Jan 4th
7.5/10
This is the best James Bond movie I have ever seen. The only other Bond movies I have seen were GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, and The World is Not Enough. I liked that it was gritty instead of flashy.
What I didn't like was the long lo… more »
