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. Read-Only Moderation is Crucial

    The internet can be an extremely educational playground when used appropriately. However, as in the second grade, there are bullies just waiting to steal your lunch money and walk all over you. The latest example of this is from a site autoadmit.com which made NPR headlines in this article about the slandering of female law students at Yale. The site labels itself as “The most prestigious college discussion board in the world.” which it proudly... [read more]

  2. Big Dogs

    I can’t wait until I can move into a house that has a yard where I can have dogs. I miss my puppy, Maggie, so much while I’m at school. We have cats down here, but I’ve never been much of a cat fan. Yes it is nice to have animals around to keep us company, but a dog is so much more a friend than a cat ever will be. I have always loved... [read more]

  3. Is it time for Vacation?

    Have you visited HotelReservations.com? I know there are a number of sites out there that put together packages and compare prices, but what you have to do is find the one that not only brings the best price, but presents the best package. I have been to some sites that I am sure aren’t actually looking at my search criteria, it is quite frustrating at times. I visited HotelReservations.com and decided that I needed a... [read more]

  4. Looking Back - America’s Finest in Green

    I would like to start this post off with a note. I have decided to start a new series of posts. As of now the title of the series will be ‘Looking Back’. I would like this series to be memories I have of certain places or events from a quick outside perspective. Take the following of this post as an example of hopefully more to come. They are not complete memories or stories, just... [read more]

  5. Something is Seriously Wrong

    Guess the percentage of military units coming back from the war in Iraq have some form of post traumatic stress disorder… 40% FOURTY PERCENT THAT IS 2 OUT OF EVERY 5 PEOPLE SENT TO IRAQ Something is seriously wrong. I found this news from NPR very disturbing indeed. Yes, I know NPR tends to be on the way Left, but statistics don’t lie. People may ask, well are all 40% walking around clucking like chickens...

  6. IncParadise.com

    So how many get rich schemes have you had this week alone? Me… probably at least 2 or 3… and the weekend is yet to come! I have found IncParadise.com which is a site that helps corporations get started. They make the startup process much easier by answering any questions you might have along with an online filing service. Many of my proposed business ventures are cut short for the sole reason of not knowing... [read more]

  7. Flight Lesson 13 - Review of Maneuvers

    This lesson last Wednesday was just review. We reviewed flight plans on the ground, then went up and reviewed maneuvers. I forgot how much I liked practicing maneuvers… especially steep turns. When you get all the G’s pushing down on you while you’re in a 45 degree bank for a 360 turn, its a little more exciting than flying from point A to point B. During the steep turns I was able to do it... [read more]

  8. How do you succeed?

    Here’s a quandary that I have always wondered about: Is a person’s success propelled by ambitions for success or fear of failure? It is really an interesting thought if you take it to everyday life. While at work am I doing my work with worries of what the boss will think or am I doing my work with hopes of what the boss will think? Some might say that you can tell how a person... [read more]

  9. Whose Pants are These?

    Have you heard? A Superior Court Judge from Washington DC is suing a dry cleaners for $54 million of lost pants! The Chung family who own the dry cleaners and are immigrants from Korea do not speak english and are mortified by this series of events. Apparently the judge went in dropping off four pairs of trousers for alterations, and when he went back to pick them up, only three were there. The dry cleaners... [read more]

  10. Pay Per Post

    What’s the purpose of this blog? I started this blog with the purpose of communicating my thoughts and interest to the public world in a medium that I enjoy, writing. I have now found a way to use this blog to help me financially (which is great for these flight lessons). I have found Pay Per Post which lets me get paid to blog. This service offers to me the chance to help publicize other... [read more]
