The Dallas Briefing sucks

September 19, 2008 at 09:24 AM

The Dallas Briefing sucks. It's essentially garbage thrown into our lawns everyday that no one asked for. I have half a mind to stand out in the front yard and throw my kitchen garbage back at them when they drive past. Or maybe call the city and let them know some car is coming by and littering in our entire neighborhood every freaking day. Some of my more useless neighbors don't even bother to pick...

Vista and Cisco VPN don't play nice

February 03, 2007 at 05:00 PM

Picked up a new Vista-powered laptop this week (replacement to one Best Buy/Geek Squad messed up) for the wife. Pretty much just needed to surf the web, do a little image editing, and HTML/CSS dev, and other pretty basic stuff. The only thing she really needs it for is to access her work computer so she can work from home. Of course we quickly got hit with one of the biggest perils of early... Continue reading

Bevo Sports Wins College Football Blogger Award

February 01, 2007 at 06:16 PM

My Texas Longhorns sports site, BevoSports.com, has won the Brady Quinn Award. What is the Brady Quinn Award you ask? It's an award for the best looking college football blog in the whole entire world. We felt honored just to be nominated, so winning is definitely a cool thing. I just hope people don't consider us as over-rated as Brady Quinn and Notre Dame. That would suck. So thanks to everyone out there who... Continue reading

Cambodian New Year

April 18, 2006 at 10:28 PM

Christina and I accompanied her mother this weekend to a Cambodian New Year's celebration at a Dallas-area Buddhist temple. We had actually been out to the temple the weekend before as well since her mom had gotten the date wrong. It wasn't specifically a Buddhist celebration, so despite it being at a Buddhist temple I would guess the majority of the Cambodians in attendance weren't practicing Buddhist. Or maybe they were just lazy Buddhists... Continue reading

Awesome, Grande Cable is f***ing piece of crap

January 04, 2006 at 06:45 PM

Apparently they decided today was a good day to screw up and drop ESPN and instead show Fox Sports on 2 dif channels at once. This is the same POS company that in 2006 does not offer digital cable or HD original promised date of availability for HD: 9/2004. Pathetic. I'm sure glad i get my HD via OTA antenna and won't be relying on these morons.... Continue reading

Christina made me try cucumbers tonight...

December 29, 2005 at 10:04 PM

Taste like watermelon rinds. Surprisingly edible for something I'd never tasted in my 25 years. I know you don't care, just thought I'd share that little tidbit with you.... Continue reading

Christmas 2005

December 22, 2005 at 09:42 PM

I had to drive down to McDade by myself that weekend so Christina and I opened presents early on the 16tth so I could listen to my new Sirius radio on the trip. Only one surprise, a black leather jacket that I would've never bought but I really like, but I love all my presents. The jacket, the radio, a Xbox 360 game and accessory, and some other stuff. What a good fiance I've... Continue reading

Santa Reesey

December 20, 2005 at 07:04 AM

I was trying to surprise Christina with Christmas photos of me and Reesey in front of the tree. I actually got her to wear her little Santa hat that she's despised and never worn since we got it a year ago, but she wouldn't hold still at all. It's too dark in our living room for good pictures without the flash (and she's too wiggly) and too small of a room for it to... Continue reading

Reesey in the wind

September 25, 2005 at 11:37 PM

Hurricane Rita didn't bring Dallas a single drop of rain (though it caused serious damage in Houston), but it did cause some slightly windy days. Reesey and I went for a walk during a particularly windy evening, and I of course took a ton of pictures. Check out the photoset or view the slideshow on flickr.... Continue reading

Addison Oktoberfest

September 17, 2005 at 05:12 PM

Christina and I went to the Oktoberfest in Addison on Saturday. We had a good time, but it was bloody hot out and it was kind of rinky dink. Both in size and stuff to do it sure doesn't hold a candle to Wurstfest in New Braunfels. There wasn't a ton of people, and most were families. Maybe it's more fun after dark. It was also much less German than Wurstfest. Ninety percent of... Continue reading
