PBS…POV

July 9, 2008

I watched this episode of POV on PBS last night.  I’m not really sure what the point of doing this is other than to advance some anti-military agenda.  4 marines accidentally kill a young man in 1997 and we are making a documentary about it now?  It was definitely done from a “Marines are bad” perspective.  They even interviewed people that were shocked that so many Texans were standing up for the Marines.  It’s definitely a sad and somewhat strange story, but it seems as though POV wants us to believe that these Marines killed the guy just for fun or something.  PBS gets a FAIL on this one.

Squire ‘51 Baritone

June 30, 2008

It’s time for a new project.  I’ve been GASing for a baritone guitar for a while now, and I’ve decided to build one.  It’s going to be a Squire ‘51 baritone.  I bought a black body and I still need to source the rest of the parts.  Here is a pic of a couple of custom ’51s:

They are pretty cool.  I haven’t decided on the pickups and everything yet, but I will as soon as I have a little more cash :-)

Vacation

June 30, 2008

I just got back from a 5 day vacation with my family in Seattle.  I haven’t been on vacation since 2006.  It was nice to take some time off work and hang out with my wife and daughter.  We visited some family in Yakima before heading to Seattle.  We went to the zoo and the aquarium and also did some shopping.  It was a nice trip.  I’m sure there will be pictures on Joanna’s blog soon.

Wordpress is Awesome

May 17, 2008

As cool as writing html files, linking images, editing style sheets, fiddling with server log-in parameters and dealing with ftp problems is, I am totally tired of it. I only have one website that I “manage” that is not just a Wordpress template. That is going to change. The Cottage Childcare’s site is going in for a remodel….next week. Maybe if it becomes easier to edit I will actually keep it up to date.
