Batman: The Brave and the Bold

Posted on February 27, 2009 by Steve

A “spotted” owl in the dollar bill

Posted on February 26, 2009 by Steve

We didn’t have any luck getting pictures of the 43 presidents miniaturized on my co-worker’s green card because they’re drawn on a reflective surface which was the original plan this week; all the pictures came back as just black. However, … Continue reading →

The trade deadline is quickly approaching. I think it’s in the first week of March. I wish I had the time and means to follow the NHL more closely. With our season tickets to see the Austin Stars this Fall, … Continue reading →

Where have I been lately?

Posted on February 22, 2009 by Steve

I missed the fireball

Posted on February 18, 2009 by Steve

Actually, I didn’t hear about this until Monday night. Pretty scary looking but I knew it wasn’t a satellite since they aren’t large enough to make such visible debris. I figured it was a meteor yet there wasn’t much to … Continue reading →

Posted on February 17, 2009 by Steve

I can’t explain why I always keep thinking her birthday is on the 19th, but as I was going through my calendar software (good ol’ Now Up2Date), I found out it was today. Last I heard from her, she does … Continue reading →
