Summer Ending

This summer is slowly coming to an end, something I am sad to see happen. have been working a fair amount at both IBR and for the census, looking forward to next summer when there is no census and I just have to get projects done...wait, no that sucks.

Evite

I think that evite is one of the worst programs on the planet. Does not work in Chrome (a fairly old, established, and highly used browser), it asks for far too much information when signing up, and it times out/does not warning you it times out after having spent a lot of time working on something.

Terrible program...last time using it since.

Game Post....still steaming ahead

Game is advancing
So many pieces to make
Not sure how it ends.

Bumpter Meter, Broken

The Bumpter Meter
Can take a mighty big hit
But died recently.

Two nights in a row
Our bed has become a scent hell
Hotdogs are the cause.

RSA Animate - Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us

I have been wanting to read this book for quite some time now, and I still will, but this is a great resource. I LOVE this type of learning!!

Sad Salary

Salary Comparison is a tool where you can calculate how long it takes any one of a number of NBA players to earn your salary. For my measly salary Kevin Durant only has to play 0.1 games, or 3.81 minutes, to earn what I do in a year. To add more sting to this I would have to work for 850 years to make the same that Durant does in one season!

The Jazz are making some moves this off-season, which is rare and very much needed. They are bringing in F/C Al Jefferson from Minn. and they just added SG Raja Bell from Golden State. Both fill holes left by Korver and Boozer, and though it means the Jazz will not keep up-and-coming player Wesley Matthews, they will be saving money and get some great players.

News is they are not finished yet, I am already excited for the season!

Love to see Owens get dunked on, such a chump.

Wow

Yeah, Obama, Hitler, and Lenin are all pretty similar...

Cavaliers: Open Letter to Fans from Cavaliers Majority Owner Dan Gilbert

Lebron gets ripped by his former boss/owner of the Cavaliers. He used all his chips for this off-season, just to make fans all around the country pissed off at him for his lack of respect for so many franchises.

Lebron/the Heat are now villains, who would have thought that with people like Wade and James being on the same team? I am definitely routing against them from here on out, even if they play the Lakers. Wow, that almost stings to say...

5 Year Anniversary

It has been 5 years since Lindsey and I were married up in Rose Sachs Gardens in Parleys Canyon, UT. Wow how time flies.

I think about all that we have been through, the ups (mainly) and downs, the adventures we have shared, the conversations we have had (either talking to or talking at one another, hey...it happens), and it just seems like yesterday that we first met at SLCC.

Here are a couple of pictures from that lovely day many moons ago...









I LOVE YOU LINDS!!!

New Leviathan Whale Was Prehistoric "Jaws"? (Pictures)

New Leviathan Whale Was Prehistoric "Jaws"? (Pictures)

Reading a great book, In the Heart of the Sea, that discusses early 19th century whaling. I cannot imagine what some of these people went through out on the open ocean, and this book further illustrates the plights when a whale actually attacks (and sinks) a ship, leaving the crew to bounce around the giant Pacific Ocean clinging to their lives.

Have not finished it, but I know it does not end well given that the opening of the book describes only two of the sailors sitting in a tattered vessel sucking the bone marrow our of their fallen whalers.

Makes me feel pretty luck to be both on dry land, and with access to plenty of food and water. Speaking of which, I am thirsty....

Delta

Planning to fly home
If only the prices were
Within our budget.

Round-trip for a grand
Is pretty rough at this point,
Hell, at any point.

Ceiling Fan

Installed a new fan;
Ceiling, white, with three bright lights.
Took only 2 days.

Free Agency

The NBA Free Agency is alive, and here are my guesses as to where people will end up:

1. Lebron James - Chicago Bulls
2. Dwayne Wade - Miami Heat
3. Chris Bosh - Chicago Bulls
4. Joe Johnson - Atlanta Hawks
5. Dirk Nowitzki - Dallas Mavericks
6. Paul Pierce - Boston Celtics
7. Amare Stoudamire - New York Knicks
8. Carlos Boozer - Miami Heat
9. David Lee - New Jersey Nets
10. Rudy Gay - New Jersey Nets

These picks are all somewhat random, with a bit of hearsay slapped into them, but overall mainly hunches. I will grade these picks once they are announced.
