Computer is down

For those who may have been wondering why I haven't been responding to emails or online via Facebook it's because late last week my 19" CRT computer monitor bit the big one. It's the last CRT monitor we had in the house. I gave away or sold the others before the move. It's a bummer to be without my email. I still haven't figured out how to access my new email address via a web interface.

On the bright side... I've ordered a new 24" LCD monitor from NewEgg which is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. But I got a gut feeling I'm going to have to order a video card from them also since I really don't think my current one will be able to handle the new screen resolution. I hope to be back online at home soon.

That's all for now, gotta get back to work.

Stonehenge revisited

Yes, I'm a tool for CNN now. There was a story on Stonehenge about how researchers think the location was a place sick people came to be healed. CNN's iReport website invited viewers to upload their own pics/videos of the place. And so you have this...

Ike - Calm before the storm

As of about 1:49am here… no wind at all. It's muggy outside, 79 degrees. There's puffy high clouds above moving east to west but I can see the nearly full moon above. The local weather guys are forecasting the bulk of the winds and rains to hit after noon on Saturday. They say 35-40MPH, gusting to 50MPH.

Ike - The day before...

Here's a view of the backyard on Friday Spet 12th, 2008. This is the day before Hurricane (Tropical Storm) Ike makes its way up to the DFW area.

Our 7th

Today, Cristina and I celebrate our 7th Wedding Anniversary. I can't believe it's been that long!

I remember freaking out about the ceremony itself and hoping I didn't trip on something or just pass out from the heat of my tux. To keep my mind off it and to have some fun, I repeatedly called Cristina, cellphone to cellphone, to ask her if she was "doing anything special today", or "whatcha wearing?". :-)

I love my babe and look forward to our future together.
