Weezer debuted a new video last night for their latest single, “Troublemaker”. Not quite as entertaining as the video for Pork & Beans, but still good. I like how they are not afraid to have fun and make fun of themselves.

On a related note, I’ll be going to the Weezer concert in Austin on October 20th! I’m excited! Not only will I get to see Weezer, but Angels & Airwaves is opening up for them! In case you aren’t aware of who they are their lead singer is Tom DeLonge, former lead singer of Blink 182. Looks to be a great concert in all! Can’t wait!

I haven’t updated my Blog in a while. Bad blogger! My reasoning is just lack of time. I’ve now done something to remove that excuse.

I’ve installed a module that allows me to post updates via email. This means that if I’m stuck at a doctor’s office or anywhere else, I can type up an update on my new BlackBerry Pearl and submit it via email. Hopefully it helps!

Dalek The Bearded DragonDalek The Bearded Dragon

Introducing the newest member of my family, Dalek the Bearded Dragon! We aren’t sure if Dalek is a he or a she, and I’m really not sure what owning a bearded dragon will entail. Laura is the one who will be keeping track of it, but I think it’s cool nonetheless. They are supposed to be able to grow to 24″ long, and Andi is excited about being able to “walk it”. :-)

I found a link where someone created a MAME console that looks like a TARDIS from Doctor Who! It looks AWESOME! In case you don’t know what MAME is, it’s and emulator that emulates the hardware in the old cabinet arcade machines and let’s you run the ROMs for those old games. You can find more info here. The link to the TARDIS version is:

Well, it’s that time of the year again! The DCI Southwestern Championship is in San Antonio this Saturday, July 19th! This year, I’ll be cheering on The Cavaliers.

This year is my brother-in-law’s age-out year, and he chose The Cavaliers as the corps that he wanted to be in for his last year. Last year he was in the World Champion Blue Devils, the year before that he was a member of the 1st place drum line for Phantom Regiment, before that he was a member of The Crossmen, and finally before that he started out with The Jersey Surf.

I went to watch them practice last night, and MAN were they AMAZING! Their show this year is called “Samurai”, and I can not wait to see them perform it at the Alamodome tomorrow night! These guys are dedicated! It was H-O-T yesterday in the hot summer Texas sun, and they never slowed down! I was highly impressed, and I wish them all the best of luck on Saturday, and for the rest of the season!

Site Update! (Broken Stuff) **UPDATED**

Hello!

I’ve updated this site to Drupal 6.2. As a result, a lot of stuff is broken. I’m working on it, but it may take some time to get everything fixed.

***UPDATE***

July 3, 2008

I think I’ve fixed the parts of the site that were broken! Turns out that Drupal now requires you to use a “drupal_add_js()” function to add javascript inline to the page. I also had to update some of the changes to the Forms API for the SMTPAuth Encoder. (**UPDATE: Currently Offline)

If anyone uses anything on this site and you find it broken, please let me know!
