Yes, This Was a Big Storm

I thought that this snow storm was the worst I could remember, and it turns out I am right. More snow fell here than anytime since 1910, according to The Dispatch.

Cold War Revisited

The last time I visited the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Museum, we were still in the Cold War. This time around, they have a whole hangar displaying the technology that came out of that era, including this B-2 Stealth Bomber.

The museum is much better than I remember it and who could argue with [...]

Kitchen Nightmares Formula

I may be one of the last people to have seen Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares (BBC version) and have thoroughly enjoyed it even though his recipe for turnaround is virtually the same each time. Like House, it might be one of the funniest comedies you didn’t realize was a comedy.

Here is what I have [...]

Quick Change

Rebecca and I were offered tickets to the Ohio State Men’s Basketball game last night against Coppin State. I had never been to a single event at the Schottenstein Center, nor a basketball game period, so the whole experience was new.

It is quite different than going to a football game to be sure. There [...]

DSLR Test Drive

I don’t own a digital SLR (DSLR), but have considered one for a bit now. Fortunately, a co-worker let me borrow his for a brief stint to try out. I still haven’t decided to go the SLR route, but I really enjoyed the control that is possible with respect to focus and shutter speed. [...]

Talking Jazz Cat

I have been laughing at this video quite a bit. It must be my favorite video mashup since the dramatic chipmunk series.

Back from Cabo

Our trip to Cabo was very nice and definitely took us out of our comfort zone. It wasn’t so much the shift in culture that was different — we found it to be even more accomodating to Americans than the guides explained. What was unusual was being treated so well — sometimes high levels [...]

Headed to Cabo

Rebecca and I will be leaving the country tomorrow to Los Cabos, Mexico for the rest of the week. This will be our first trip south of the border and we are really looking forward to it.

The Honey Crisps Are In

Ok, actually they have been in stores for a few weeks now. What’s the big deal with these apples? About a year ago, I mentioned to a co-worker how the Fuji apple, in my mind was the perfect eating apple. He said, that while he loved Fuji’s, the Honey Crisps were his favorite. I hadn’t [...]

Xenia to Yellow Springs

Rebecca and I did the bike ride from Xenia Station to Yellow Springs today. It was the first time I had been on this bike trail and it was loads of fun and much better than the trails around Columbus.
