New Blog Style

As you may have noticed i’ve updated the blog template and added some features including the updated-today, Hot Dates, Plugins Used Plugin - Widget.

Google … Mars?

Google Mars Logo Google adds one more thing to their long list of projects, … Google Mars. Google Mars, is quite similar to Google Moon, it takes Googles Maps Interface and combines it with images and information about the “Red Planet”, Mars. I must say it contains a fare amount of information, linked with locations, such as Spacecraft Locations, Mountains, Canyons, Craters, and Stories about Mars. If you have some time, go see for yourself.

MyGamerCard.net Last Game Played Theme

BobDawg's Last Game Played Themed GamerCard MyGamerCard.net has added a new feature for their supporters, that adds a background to their gamercard based on the last game played. (See Left) This feature is awsome, unfortunately they have closed the supporters program to the public. I am a proud supporter of “MyGamerCard.net”. Go checkout my GamerCard Bookmarklet Generator, or my Halo 2 Stats Bookmarklet Generator.

New Gmail LogoGoogle’s email solution, Gmail, adds the ability to Chat with other Gmail users right from your web browser. Google says that Chat will not include the ability to send or receive calls, so there is still a reason for the Google Talk Application.

Brush Fire! Update

It appears I may have spoken too soon about the condition of the fire. The Wind has picked up and is now pushing the fire westward. I will continue to update the situation here for as long as possible, though I may have to shutdown the server for a period of time if required to evacuate. So far every thing seems to be okay.

Brush Fire

There is a brush fire near my home it is burning near my brother’s house. Him, his wife and their two dogs are okay. They have not required an evaquation of the residents in the area but have recommended that we be prepared in case the situation changes. Our last near by brush fire occured about 12 years ago and got very close to our home; at that point we were on the edge of the neighborhood and were the closest to the brush. The firefighters had to come in our backyard and fight the fire at our back fence. The now non-existent news channel OCN came to our house to report on the story.

Ash clouds the sky.
