The Good and Bad of Google!

I LOVE Google! They make great things! (Google Earth, maps.google.com, Blogger, Webhosting, etc...)
    But they just put me under the foot of my wife!

    You see... We have lived in our home for more that 2 years now. I have been a great husband and have mowed the lawn at our house every time, except once! ONCE!
    One time last year I was working hard on the garden, Britt decided that she would help me out and start mowing the lawn. Mind you that I say "start" because she finished the front and side, I finished the back. Well... it just happens that Google being so great and all they decide to drive by the house and take pictures for their "Street View" on maps.google.com!
Thanks GOOGLE!
    I appreciate that you have proof of the ONE time for the whole World to see!

Retraction: Google is really cool now! They have "Retracted" our neighborhood from their "Street View" therefore eliminating the ability to view this Fun Picture.
If you would like to see it again you can put in another request for them to add it to their maps by submitting a change here. http://mapinsight.teleatlas.com/mapfeedback/index.php

More Traveling...

What a fun time the last couple of weeks have been! We went to San Diego on the Company Retreat. While we were down there we drove up to LA to go see "Wicked"! This is one of the best plays that I have seen! San Diego is where Britt and I went on our Honeymoon (4 years ago)! We had our anniversary on March 11th!
Then only a couple of days later we packed the bags and headed back to Nashville! We had to use our free flights to go somewhere so we (I) chose to go back to Music City USA.
Nashville is a happening little city. We attended the Grand Ole Opry, Contry Music Hall of Fame, Ryman Auditorium, Opry Mills, and many more places! Carrie Underwood played Saturday night at the Grand Ole Opry and we were there when Randy Travis made a guest appearance to ask Carrie to be the next member of the Opry!
We were also able to attend a recording of the CMT TV show called "Can You Duet"! This was fun because we were able to see Naomi Judd, Rossi Morreale, Six Wire (the band), and the six finalist duets. Also among all of that we were fortunate enough to sit next to and talk a little with the Producers of the show as well!
All in all this was a really fun trip!

Fiber to the Node!

I was excited to receive an email from the Mayor of Woods Cross concerning the Planning Commission. It stated the following,
"The Council also hear a report that Qwest Communications had proposed to bring "fiber to the node" to several areas of the City that currently do not have internet/cable tv services (Field Crest, Cahoon Meadows, parts of the Clover Dale subdivision) during their current 2008 build year. No final date had been determined but Qwest committed to provide the service this year."
I know that the city was in communications with Utopia. I would much rather have the Fiber run to my home from Utopia versus Qwest, but either way we will finally have High Speed Internet! And by the sounds of it we should have it by the end of this year!

Walkie Talkie...

249er-567...
You're trailing off and did I catch a nine'er in there? Were you calling from a walkie talkie?
No... It was a cordless!

Man do I miss Chris! RIP!

No! This is NOT a picture of you!

I'm sorry but this has been an issue the last few days and it makes me laugh!

There is a virus going around that will take 50 of your MSN Messenger contacts and IM them an IM with a link stating "Is this a picture of you?" or "Is that you in this picture?". When people click on the link it takes them to some site where it downloads a .dll and then overrides there MSN Messenger with a new one that uses the new .dll file. When this happens it then starts over and sends the link to the 50 new contacts from the newly infected machine!
I have hated MSN Messenger and never thought that it was very secure! I loved seeing this virus because so many people use the defaults of what they get! Honestly, How many people have msn as their homepage?

Now that you know the details behind the virus... here's a funny story to go with it!

I found out about this virus on Monday night at work. A lady clicked on it and was like "I clicked on it because it was from [so and so]". So I fixed her computer. Then in our weekly IT meeting I made mention to everyone to "NOT click on the link!" Well not more then 20 minutes later one of the IT members that sits across from me says, "Crap I just clicked on it!" as he ran around his computer to unplug his network cable. I asked him, "What?". He replied "I just clicked on the link! It was from my friend Dan." I flipped out! "What the hell! Were you not listening to me in the meeting!" Then all I could do was laugh at him because of how dumb it was! Needless to say it didn't harm his computer because we use <a title="Free operating system? Come on Microsoft! FREE!!!" Ubuntu.


So now that you have read this you have been warned! "No! This is NOT a picture of you!"

Israel 2006... (Catching up on the posts...)

This is the picture we used for our Christmas Cards last year.
I really love this picture.
I can't explain how great an experience it was for us to visit the Holy
Land!
It has changed our whole view on the scriptures!

Testing Email Blog!

This blog was made via an email address that I send my post to!  I think this is pretty slick!  Especially if I can send pictures to the address and format the email in HTML to have it post in WYSIWYG.
What about this LINK or the picture that is attached?  That is a link to my sisters blog!
