Well it has been a while and for a change I actually have some things to announce.  Aramelle and I have bought first home.  We actually moved in April 17th but as you can imagine things have been a little bit crazy trying to get everything moved and cleaned up at the apartment which is why I haven’t had a chance to post anything for a while.

Another big announcement is that Aramelle and I are expecting our first baby on December 17th.  Before anyone gets any ideas.  Yes, we do have names picked out.  No, we aren’t telling anyone what they are.  No, we aren’t going to find out what we are going to have.  Follow updates at our new Baby Blog.

After another couple of week layoff  that included some down computer time and a week laying in bed with a back issue I decided it was time for another post.

Luckily I was able to get my computer running and be just about pain free as of last Wednesday when Tom Clancy’s HAWX game and so far I am loving it.  After seeing this video today on Gametrailers.com of the new Wolfenstein game.

It is amazing to think that the original was one of the first games that I played.  Kind of crazy what the game now looks like compared to back then.  Which as the time was pretty high tech for computer gaming.

Here it the first video I have made with my Pinnacle Software.  Just a short little video of the February RLS LAN.

Here are a few pictures from last night as promised.  Had a great time.  Good food at the Prime Rib Grill as always, and We hit a Good night for the Comics at Catch A Rising Star.

So I am a few days late in posting this I just wasn’t all the motivated in getting around to it.  Another year has gone by since I turned 29 on Wednesday.  I usually don’t get into my birthday at all or even care that much for that matter.  This year seems to be a little bit different.  Has got me thinking about stuff that have and haven’t done in my life and scary to thing that a lot of it was of so little meaning.  I guess it is just part of getting OLD.

To night Aramelle and I are going to be heading to dinner and Comedy show much like we did on her birthday to celebrate.  Should have some pictures to post later if we remember to take the camera.

So I thought I should throw something up here real quick before it becomes two weeks and I haven’t posted anything.

Nothing really special going on around here as of late which is really a big reason why there hasn’t been that much posting going on.

One thing that I am excited about is I was finally able to get a copy of Pinnacle Studio 12 that I have been wanting to pick up for a while now.  I can hardly wait now to get some video footage that I so I can get some more videos put together.

Another thing to really look forward to is that it is getting close to being baseball season.  I am really looking forward to getting in some Reno Aces games this summer.  The Park is coming along nicely.

Not much else going on right now other then that.  I am going to try and do a better job of posting in here more often and not just with crap that I found around on the Internet.

I have been using Pidgin for a couple of years now as my way to be in different IM services with out having to be log into multiple programs at once.  As I have been using my blog more I thought that it might be cool to be able to have a online notification showing when I am online.  There was a couple of WordPress plugins for this but nothing that seems to be updated for the newer versions of the software.

Finally this morning I came across a widget that Digsby that give you the a little chat window that you see to the left.  With this you can see when I am online and start a chat with my from my blog.

Because of his I have moved some things around in an effort to try and not have my columns go on for ever.

How much damage he does to him self running into walls all the time when he does stuff like this.

So it looks like while I was trying to get a new picture album plug in working I some how messed up some of the pages and post on here.  So going to be starting fresh.  It may take a little while to get everything and the new plug that I was trying to get to work all going but I do hope to have it done sooner then later.
