Me and my Internet


Husband, Dad, Navy Officer, Coder, and Tinkerer. I have many interests and am always looking to learn something new. This site is a launching point to the many areas of the Internet that represent me.


  1. They believed they could fly...

    I love watching these America’s funniest home video-esque videos.  What is it about human nature that loves to watch people like this?  I found this while searching for a way to embed a “this i believe” podcast which will follow shortly… but for now, enjoy:   [read more]


  2. Watsonville Fly-in and Air show

    I went to the Watsonville Fly-in and Air show this past Saturday and had a great time. I wasn’t really dressed for the weather though. I was wearing shorts and t-shirt with a hooded sweatshirt, but I kind of sat and shivered for the entire time I was there. I still managed to sun burn my nose and knees though, even though it was chilly, windy and cloudy. I loved watching the air show though.... [read more]


  3. Dilbert

    I get a Dilbert comic in my email every morning, which I probably have discussed here before.  This morning’s was genius.  It shows that engineers think a little different… logical thinkers.  We might argue a point that is no where near reality… just because we have thought up a way to do it. And now, Dilbert… [read more]


  4. Goldfish, the new soap!

    Have you heard?  Apparently, a goldfish (yes, your child time pet that eventually ended up swimming through the sewers) is the new soap.  According to recent and credible studies, using a goldfish for hand and body soap can kill up to 175% more germs than any leading off-the-shelf soap!  Also noted, was that during a hidden smell panel, the scent of a man using a goldfish as soap was selected as ‘better smelling’ over off-the-shelf...

  5. Wordpress Auto Update

    I have had this WordPress blog for a good little while now and everything has been going just fine. Late last night I decided that it was time for another face-lift. I don’t know what you think, but the greens were starting to look a little dated. I found this template that you see now, and I think its ok. Nothing really all too special, but it works well. This is the first time that... [read more]


  6. What to do with my Summer?

    I picked up the local Silicon Valley entertainment/weekend newspaper to see what all goes on around here on the weekends.  I thought it would be nice to maybe go out and here some live music.  While browsing the pages, I came across a small ad with a biplane to catch my attention.  This weekend (Memorial Day weekend) there is an airshow!  With my huge infatuation with planes, I don’t remember ever really going to an...

  7. BDCP Application... take 2

    And…. ACTION! Yup, I’ve decided it is time to start putting things together to submit my BDCP application again.  As you might know, I was in January boards for Information Warfare, but was non-select.  For the past month and a half I have been living the good life out in Silicon Valley working for Apple Corp.  When I was first offered this job, it was not long after I found out I was non-select, and I...

  8. I have a plane ticket

    I just purchased a plane ticket to take me back home to Cincinnati over the 4th of July weekend!  Mason fireworks on the 3rd night are definitely on the agenda. [read more]


  9. Updated homepage... again!

    I have updated my homepage yet again… so check it out(and as pre-notice: the URL for all this fun will probably be changing again soon)  [read more]


  10. How easy it is to steal bicycles...

    I came across this video through the NYNerd blog and found it very interesting.  This guy was curious how easy it was to steal bikes after having his lifted so many times.  He takes his bike with different ‘thief’ equipment to different well known places in NYC during morning rush hour and chains up his bike.  A few minutes later when all new people are around he comes to the bike with different methods, whether hammer and...
