A big storm blew through today and as a result, we’ll be without phone service until the 17th (or there abouts according to Quest). It was due to a downed tree collecting the telephone wire on it’s way down. Took out cable TV/internet as well, although Charter has restored that. If you need to get a hold of us call our cell phones. Lots of photos below. (more…)

Yesterday the boys and I went for an after dinner walk / photostroll around the neighborhood. I snapped off a few pics on my cell phone here. I love the old prairie style architecture that’s so prevalent here - oh and the kids are cute too! (more…)
Peter Jackson to Film the Hobbit
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007
TheOneRing.net reports that Peter Jackson, the master mind behind the Lord of the Rings Trilogy based on JRR Tolkien’s story will be filming the Hobbit! It’s funny because just last night I decided to pop one of the old DVD’s into the player and watched the first disc in the trilogy. Only a couple of short years and I know what I’ll be doing. It’s mine, my precioussssssssss….
USA - The new rainforest
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Welcome to the new rain forest! Does anyone thing Global Warming/Climate Change might have something to do with this? Click on the map to see the larger version.

I’m thinking that Crutchfield must have some insanely good analytics and data harvesting code to send this message to me… or most likely it was a result of some insanely good luck. Either way, it made me laugh and so I thought I would share. (more…)
Snow in Illinois
Monday, February 12th, 2007We’ve gotten some snow here in Illinois. It really feels like winter when the snow doesn’t go away a few minutes after it falls. Oskar’s doing very well in school and we’re pulling Xavier out (we think) since he’s hating going and there’s really no good reason for him to be there. Gretchen’s keeping the boys in line and I’ve been working way too much still - I am looking forward to autocrossing this year - but that’s still a few months away.
