Beutiful digital SLR video

It is videos like this that I see on VIMEO, that really make me consider upgrading to an SLR with HD video. I have only had my D60 for a few months and I love it, but these videos are awesome. If you want to download the original HD version of the video you can [...]

MSI Wind U120 Hackintosh

So here is the new thing that has been taking up a ton of my time. I have been putting small bids on MSI wind U100s, and U120s on ebay for awhile now, and about a month ago I got lucky and got one much cheaper than I should have. I wanted one because it [...]

I have neglected my blog

I don’t think I have written in a few weeks (look like it has been just over a month). I have just been to busy with real work, video games, goofing off, and projects.

I am building a deck.

A couple of weeks ago Nitaya and I came across some inexpensive composite decking. Our deck is in horrible shape and the wood is cracking all over. So we decided to purchase some of he composite stuff and redo our deck. The structure is fine so it is just a matter of me replacing the [...]

My first digital SLR! Nikon D60

I recently got a D60 and am very excited about using it. I was originally going to go for the D90, but honestly I could not prove to myself the toys on the D90 were worth the huge markup in price. The only things on the D90 I saw that were any different the the [...]

Guitar Hero World Tour is soooo… ehhh.

I have always enjoyed the music video games. Yep I even cut the rug on DDR. (side tracked: how cool would an old timey DDR be, you know like the jitterbug, charleston all that on some grainy video game, good times.) Anyway, every time I pick up one of these games I get in a [...]

Holy slo mo!

Another awesome piece of art I found on viemo.com. This one is in ultra slo mo. It is completly unreal looking in some parts. The music is fantastic too, it is performed by Gotan Project and the song is named “Chunga’s Revenge“. Congrats to David Coiffier, awesome video.

Great birthday weekend

Wow! I sure did have an AWESOME birthday weekend. I’m feeling a little “post-birthday” depression though, and eating everything in sight… I miss all the activity of the weekend and having all the people over. I love having people over, but I hate all the nervous cleaning I need to do beforehand!
My mom and dad [...]

This week, lots to do

Memorial Day Sunday and Monday were pretty mundane – Patrick told me a few weeks ago that he was planning on throwing me a birthday party and had already invited several friends, which was the reason he was wanting to rebuild the deck by this weekend. So Memorial Day weekend he spent all three days [...]

Memorial Day Weekend: Saturday

It’s Saturday night, and I’ve just wasted 4:00 p.m. until the rest of the evening. I was all gung ho this morning about wanting to get things done around the house, so I ran my errands (post office, making some returns), took my dog Maggie to her last agility class, where she did GREAT and [...]

Clothes are made for skinny people

I’m frustrated lately with the way clothes fit on me. I don’t think I’m overweight, but I find every top I try on doesn’t fit right and it has really been frustrating. I can’t buy blouses or button-down shirts because with my build, one size is too small in the chest but fits perfectly everywhere [...]

I need a makeover

I need a makeover. Not just a physical makeover, but kind of a life makeover. I have a lot to be thankful for right now in my life, I know that – loving husband, supportive family, amazing friends, a growing career and a warm place to sleep at night. Yes, I am blessed. But I’ll [...]

Strength in numbers

The Thai community here in Nashville is pretty strong and fairly tightly knit. So I wasn’t at all surprised by the huge amount of support that my family and I have received since my dad was diagnosed with cancer. An example of this was this past Saturday night I spent with my parents.
Some friends of [...]
