GAP vanity contest.
Ok, so you try to get your kids to be famous by subitting their picture to crazy GAP contests:
So, go vote for my kids. 'Cause they are cute and you know it.
Oh, and vote for my friend, Sarah's kid, too (She really needs the vacation):

This guy doesn't know when to give in...
... that's why I like him.
The full sordid story is on his website. Just another example why you shouldn't piss off people who are skilled at using new media. Which really could be anyone, so refrain from pissing any of us off.

My old Photos on Flickr
I have been uploading all my old Photos to Flickr. Eventually, I will be uploading new ones, but for the moment, you will have to be satisfied with 1993-2006--heavily focused on 2000-2006, the beginning of my digital camera age. I am up to 13,000 pictures or so, and I still have quite a few more to add!
This picture represents what you will likely see on my public Flickr page. Lots of LEGOs. Basically, we don't want every tiny bit of our lives broadcast to everyone, but we do want to share that stuff with our friends and family. So, that means you have to be registered on Flickr to see much more than LEGO stuff, and occasional family events.
Anyway, if you want to see the full monty, then send me a friend request on Flickr. (Just kidding, there are no nudes. Well, maybe some baby bottoms.) I am here:

Tie Trash
Well, my daughter, Joellyn had to do a "recycling project" where she makes something out of things that get thrown away. People who know me know that I am a huge Star Wars geek. So much so, that I am often accused of buying anything with a "Tie" theme, no matter how strange. (Like the Lego Tie Tank, which is ridiculous, but has cool tread parts.)
Anyhow...
The point is what Joellyn decided to make for her project:
Yep - a Tie Fighter. Look closely. That's Darth Vader right inside.
That's my girl.

Pringles are NOT Potato Chips!
In my review of news today, I stumbled upon this item. It is interesting to see that it was P&G who was arguing that Pringles are NOT potato chips. I guess to get out of taxes. Just goes to show that tax attorneys are the ones who most aggregiously bend the rules of logic to try and get their way. But the most important thing to learn from this: Pringles are only 40% potato!!! I guess they are 60% OTHER CRAP. I guess thats why I hate them.
Who wants to bet the same lawyers were considering whether or not they could put WHOLE GRAIN on the boxes?

Star Wars sound mixing.
Luke wants his friends to play along, but they seem to think the new sound mixer is silly:
