We went back!


Yep, he's four and has been to WDW 3 times. His brother is 14 months old and has been twice. I do believe that spells spoiled! No fear in either one but AA rode and conquered Expedition Everest. For my money, that is the best ride at any of the 4 Disney Parks!

Rainbow spotted in East Tennessee



I have seen a lot of pictures of rainbows. This is the best photo I have taken of one. This rainbow was vivid and stretched the whole sky. I took the picture with an Iphone4. It took a good picture but doesnt do it adequate justice. However, it was so clear and beautiful!!! If you look close, it was a double-rainbow as well.

Iphone4 and the deal

Well, my wife and I both got an iPhone4 even though we only ordered one! Here's how

As is the case most of the time when it deals with technology, I was up at 5am on preorder day and began my onslaught of the apple website. At 730, I had successfully order a single 32gb iPhone4. Of course my wife was disappointed she was not able to order one. I encouraged her to wait until launch day,bad mistake. Launch day arrived and lines progressed slowly for those who reordered. The line for walk in, well, I never saw it move. In fact when I arrived at 4pm, the last walk in was served and about 30 people were turned away. After work, my wife arrived and I was about 15 people from getting my phone. Then, my wife started to deal. A lady in line mentioned that her boyfriend ordered two but only wanted one. This peaked her interest. As we moved through the line together, it came time to get our phones. However the ladies BF had not arrived and she was left letting others skip over her to get the phone. After buying mine and leaving, the lady was still waiting and Rachel returned to talk with her about the other phone. By the way, during the wait time in line a gentlemen was trying to sell a new one for $1300 to a walkup customers. Did that stop my wife? NOPE. After we left, she found the lady and she was still waiting for her boyfriend. When he arrived, he agreed to let Rachel take his other phone which he did not even want. The apple store sales people were totally stunned that he was willing and that she was able to get an iphone4 so late and not preordered. Very cool for me. Things went well and I only waited in line 1 hour and fifteen minutes, for two phones, one mine and the other a special surprise!!!!

iPhone 4...I m excited but


iMovie for the iphone 4 is what is going to make me buy it. This looks sharp!

Finally, iPhone users can now edit their videos directly on the phone, and in 720p resolution. The $4.99 app was designed specifically for multi-touch, which means you're able to trim clips by just dragging your finger across the screen or slide to quickly scrub through scenes.

AMAZING

This one of the most convenient tools arounds. After a couple of weeks with it, that is it, convenience. No need to lug the laptop to the local free wi-fi spot, just the iPad. I have had great signal everywhere. I am pleased.

Fast Forward


Well, here we are in April. The last post came at the end of college football season. Since then, we have seen The Saints win the Superbowl, Duke win the NCAA basketball championship, Phil Mickelson wrap up the Masters, and Uconn women's coach think he could do the same thing in a men's league. Nevertheless, here we are.

I have ordered an iPad through my work but for some reason it has not arrived. At this point I quit looking for it and will be so pumped when it gets here. It is quiet a revolutionary device and I looking forward to using it.

I have a job lined up this summer at the University of Tennessee. It should be fun because they stink in all sports right now except diving!

Lastly, our oldest son has started playing baseball. What a hoot.

PERFECTION-Way to go Tide


ROLL TIDE ROLL

2009 National Champions




#8 or #13 depending on your view of the polling systems. Either way, it spells dominance. An SEC crown in every decade, 23 overall, 8 National titles in 115 years, tied with the most bowl victories and too many other accolades to list. One ironic tid bit or a bit of back to the future- Yankees, Steelers, Tide, UNC all won titles this past year. Traditional powers reasserting their power. This will be a fun off-season.



I am the father of a 4 year old!

Wow, that is odd to say!! Happy Birthday little buddy. He's a smart kid, good big brother, and typically mischievous little boy.

BCS Game


All indications point to a Bama victory. However, Texas is a good team and may just come out like gangbusters. It is so hard to call. In a leap of faith, I am predicting 28-17 Bama! Roll Tide
