I got injured last night!!!

I'm in Nashville and since nobody wanted to meet for dinner, I went over to a coworker's house for dinner (Twindaddyvol from outermonvolia.com).

While we were there, we watched The Office thanks to his Tivo. I laughed so hard, I hurt my back. Seriously! I loved the show, but at one point I was coughing, laughing and crying all at the same time. Now I have to endure 5 or so hours in a car while really hurting. I almost think it was worth it.

Okay, Shawn... how do you do it?

The stuff you put up in the top right corner of this blog is awesome. I just downloaded gimp and made a few bits of art myself, but I have no clue how you do such cool work. My stuff looks like my son's art compared to your stuff.

Smoke’em if you got’em boys.

Last week:
Tennessee: Hummm, I was hoping to see that Visa commercial with Spurrier in it on TV this week but, I guess it’s only playing in South Carolina right now. Payback – you got to love it. Sometimes I just burst out laughing when I think about the (very superficial) irony.

This week:
Florida: Double overtime – Nah, that wasn’t close. (yea, that would have sucked :)

Welcome to:
ME ahh ME
We started out the season on a bad note but, it looks like we’re back baby!

It's getting crowded in Alabama's woodshed

As a founding member with my Gators, I would personally like to welcome Matt's Vol's to the other side of the Alabama woodshed!

Nice concept, good editing

Check this video out!

I wish I could glide across the ground like that.

Congrats to Bama on their win.

New release form Depeche Mode ( Playing The Angel )

In honor of all the 80’s on the 8th parties. This actually came out a few days ago but I just got around to reviewing it . Back to their original sound - very cool.
Precious has a terrific video – see it here ( click on video to enlarge )

Pepto, log in and post, dangit!

I talked to Steve last night... he's living in Jackson, teamed up with Randy Moffet again... doing good deeds this time.

He was out at the house the other weekend and was really pleased with the brothers. He said they had a good rush and were a good group of guys.

I like hearing things like that, and I thought everyone else would too.

Chew-broccoli to the rescue!

I thought this would be a good Monday pick-me-up. May the farm be with you :)

Of course, mine has nothing to do with MTSU but a W a year or so ago.

Sour Grapes

I cracked this bad boy open after our big win yesterday!
You think I should have gotten it appraised first?

Looking for neat sports links

I've set up a new blog where I am attempting to put together the be all end all collection of sports links. If any of you have some I could add, please let me know.

University of Alabama links are exempted from inclusion.

kudos to the Lance-master

I like the new graphics at the top... very well done!

Another picture I found...

This is from Chris' wedding. I believe it was in Springfield, TN.
Murf said that he would try and follow the link I sent him and log on tonight.
Sorry, I didn't have time to clean up this scan, ironically, I'm on my way into Nashville this morning for a Photoshop conference :)

Carmen actually listened to my advice!!!

Actually, I think her mom did. Carmen, her sister Kim, their Mom and the 4 kids were going to head to the beach for the week. Their destination: Gulf Shores, AL or western FL panhandle. Guess who told 'em not to go!!! They are now safely playing in the beach south of Charleston, SC without the patriarchs of the 3 families.

Actually, I'm not jealous considering there are three adults with a couple of 3-3.5 year olds, an 18 month old, and a yearling.

If you have family or friends in the Gulf area, I hope they have already evacuated. Has anyone heard from Rob Fangay (sp?) over the last 8 years? He was there the last I heard.

If the storm hits N.O., farewell N.O. I read that it will be cheaper to build elsewhere than to try to rebuild that town. Where would the Saints play this year?!?

No deal – News from the HD DVD front line

Well, it doesn’t look good for a compromise between Blu-Ray ( Sony) and HD-DVD ( Toshiba and others ). The on again off again talks of a compromise had a late August deadline to decide something – anything – to make the Christmas season sales with cross platform products. But, the parties have trashed any hopes with their stubborn greedy arrogant stance that there can be only one “best product”

This is the beginning of a split in a technology path that our parents have seen once already. VHS – Betamax, here we go again.

My take is that Sony will market Blu-Ray ( the superior product ) to gaming console manufactors and computer storage markets where there is no cross platform standards to worry about because Microsoft and Macintosh will support both. Hollywood has already sided with HD-DVD because it knows that it can sell its HD catalog of product now and in less then 10 years it will again get to sell its entire collection of movies on a new disk format – mostly likely a form of holodisk.

This makes it really hard for authoring geeks like me – I have to guess who will win the marking battle and buy my tools accordingly. An expensive mistake if you choose the wrong side…

Mile High Formal '94

Here's a memory out of my scrapbook. I can say, I actually remember that moment - the rest of the night is foggy. :}

This is a test...
