This is a video of a birdhouse that is hanging in my backyard. Whenever I put seed inside of it, the birds literally attack it and empty it within a couple of hours. So one day I decided to record it on my flip video camera, and this is what I got.
The Birdhouse (Timelapse [...]

This morning I woke up extra early, in order to go cast my vote in the Presidential Election. Today was the last day for early voting in Texas.

The lines have been crazy. Some people I know have waited for nearly two hours to cast their vote. We’ve had record turnouts here in Harris County, [...]

Well, we made it. Hurricane Ike did not blow our house down, but the winds did cause some damage around the outside of my house.
We had power until about 4:15am, despite the 20+ power surges that came and went throughout the night. My brother lost power around 8:30pm. My dad lost power around 11pm. My [...]

So this last week I’ve been in California at the 2008 SES Conference in San Jose. I had a great time. I learned alot about SEO & SEM, even though alot of it was a reinforcement of the basics.
One of the highlights of the conference was on Tuesday, Google threw a big party at their [...]

I had something pretty cool happen to me the other day.
On April 23, I visited the Blog of the Houston Chronicle’s Cartoonist, Nick Anderson. He had a pretty funny animated clip of Hillary Clinton & her presidential campaign, and wanted to submit it to Digg. (Check out the post & read all of the comments.)
Unfortunately, [...]

Just recently, I got a new Flip Video Camera. So far… I freakin’ LOVE it! Although, I still need to figure out a way to disassemble the BRIGHT red light in the front. It prevents me from going “undercover” & getting good guerilla-style footage.
Anyways, I’ve been playing around with the Flip a bit. Filming random [...]

So, over the weekend I was hanging out on 6th St. in Austin, TX.

Check out these Homeless Hippies on My flickr.

As we were walking from bar to bar, we saw these two homeless guys sitting on the corner. They literally just finished writing this sign and were laughing about it amongst themselves.
Once I read what [...]

So… earlier today. I submitted something to digg that I thought was freakin’ hilarious. It was entitled “Pedophile Glasses by Jon Lajoie” It’s easily the stupidest, most pointless thing you’re going to watch all day, but totally worth 1:18 of your life.
Then I started watching the related videos that [...]

I’m a very busy person. I have to juggle alot of responsibilities, just like everybody else has to in their daily routine.
I have found that as I have gotten older, and the real world seems to get heavier and harder every month, I start to let things slip. Deadlines are harder to meet. Juggling many [...]

When digg gives you a swift kick, Mixx is there to put a band-aid (or free shirt) on the wound.

So, last week I got an email from Mixx, but it wasn’t the usual ‘Mixx: There’s something new in Tech News‘ (aka - Mixx Spam) that clutters my inbox. It was a more personal email.
Asking me [...]
