I’ve Been Stumbled!

It looks like someone has submitted my AeroPress guide to StumbleUpon.com and traffic went crazy on Google Analytics!
Nummy, nummy graphy goodness!

Electric Bill + Google Spreadsheets + Google Charts = Electricity Graph

It’s a bit manual, but it gives a good idea of how Amy and I are doing on our electricity usage (obviously not very well). Doing it visually really helps a lot.

Save the Mountain — A petition to make 96.5 WDOD-FM Chattanooga not suck

Now that 96.5 is a top 40 station, there is officially nothing on the radio in Chattanooga that I want to listen to. Rock 105 is close, but there’s too much grrr rock (the stuff that’s just banging on instruments and growling into a mic). I don’t want to hear the same classics [...]

Raw Sushi Bar and Night Club

Just a shameless plug for the restaurant that my buddy Tommy is head chef of. We went today for lunch and it was pretty darn good. Here’s some pictures of the menus:

My take on the Starbucks Frappuccino

I started with the recipe from this recipe which makes a pretty good frappuccino. In fact, that recipe has more of a true coffee taste than Starbucks. However, according to Amy, it didn’t have enough chocolate (or enough ice, I thought). So, here’s what I did:

Weekend wrap-up, 2/1/08-2/3/08

With my employment anniversary coming up on 2/21 and 5 days still left that don’t roll over to the next year, I got an extra day head start on the weekend and have been going non-stop since.
It all started at 8:00 AM on Friday. I woke up, showered, and went straight to the bank [...]

Wedding Date Set!

Amy and I have set our wedding date.  We will be staying at Butterfly Hollow from June 13-15 2008.  The ceremony will be on June 14.  After that weekend, we’ll most likely be heading to Las Vegas with my family for our honeymoon.  Then, we’ll come back and have the wedding reception at Greenway Farms [...]

Adam is home!

Adam unboarded his last flight home today at approximately 10:15 AM. He was discharged from the Army yesterday and will not be going back! He will serve 19 months in the National Guard and cannot be redeployed for 24 months. So, I guess he’s not going back to Iraq. Darn.
