Hail to thee, our Alma Mater - Faithful, kind, and true; - Every son and every daughter - Offers praise to you.
Hail to the dearest spot of all; - Hail to WCU! - Light and life and fond devotion - All to thee are due.
Purple robes and colors golden, - Streaming everywhere, - Swell our hearts with pride for olden - Days and friendships dear.
Under shade trees' friendly bowers, - Voices, ever gay, - Mingles with breath of flowers - And the song birds' lay.
Shout aloud with one loud chorus, - Voices clear and true, - Lifted high in praise ...
“You wanted the best…
...you got the best."
Granted - I wouldn't really call myself a Kiss fan but when you get tickets for the right price to see a legendary group - you go. I learned a lot while I was there - namely that I knew more Kiss songs than I thought. Kiss fans as a group are cool people - everyone we asked was more than happy to let us take a picture of or with them. And - what Kiss lacks in talent they more than make up for in spectacle.
We were fortunate to not just get tickets at a price ...
Star Wars Pancakes
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a Jedi Kitchen Master created an epic breakfast to unleash the power of his Jedi Padawan. Using the Force™, he created three nonstick steel pancake molds in honor of his favorite galactic heroes and villains: Yoda™, Darth Vader™ and a stormtrooper™. Our Star Wars molds couldn’t be easier to use.
I was with you right up till that last part. I happen to be the proud owner of a set of these too cool to describe pancake molds from Williams-Sonoma.
After the jump you can see my efforts ...
Beer, Bourbon and BBQ Festival 2010
[singlepic id=3618 w=320 h=240 float=right]What do you get when you mix beer, bourbon and BBQ? If you said a headache the next day you are correct. You also get a nice little festival in Cary where you can sample a wide variety of beer and liquor (more than bourbon this year) and get a little pig on.
This is our return trip to the festival and it was as much fun this year as it was last year. No crazy Penn State fan this year but we might have had a moment had the "Star Wars" girl had a tattoo. No ...
Southwest Virginia Tour
[singlepic id=3617 w=320 h=240 float=right]Last week we headed to the "motherland" of Southwest Virginia (yes - that is where my mom is from) for a few days of rest, relaxation and fun with some friends. Had a great time in Abingdon, ate well at Shatley Springs and started on an awesome adventure on the New River. Unfortunately the rain decided to make the canoe trip a little less than desirable. We survived and plan to go on the trip next year. We may or may not canoe again but we're definitely up for a campfire and hanging out on the ...
So the Rick Roll’d thing is OLD. I know it – you know it – YouTube knows it. This is funny. Stick with it to the 0:20 mark and it goes from good to great. Video after the jump. Enjoy.
Read this on another message board and thought it was funny. If you don’t like it the first time read it again and think about it. Not sure of the original source but this is pretty good.
Taking a video from a website and turning it into an MP3 for your iPod used to be a slightly complicated process involving browser plugins and a basic working knowledge of what to do with the file once you had downloaded it. Those days are over thanks to vidtomp3.com. You can now download awesome songs from artists like Joey Linello or cool mash-ups or even real songs from the videos posted on YouTube.
So I’ve read enough about gOS (a Linux Ubuntu variant) to make me wait the three hours it takes to download the DVD to install it. Yes – I am still a Fedora fan and use it a lot and no this doesn’t mean I am planning on changing the machine I use. I am still in search of the lightweight OS that I can install on older machines that is extremely user friendly. Fedora is a little intimidating for non-geeks so I am interested to see what gOs has to offer. I’ll install it tonight and test it and write a short comparative analysis of it vs. Fedora. I’ll also try to get Cara to use it and see how she likes it for the non-technical opinion. More to come…
From Lego to Play Dough to excited little kids the greatest story ever told has been retold many times. No not the Christmas story – Star Wars. This week’s Internet Oddity is from Wired Magazine and has the best remakes on the web of one of the best movies ever made. I’ve included my personal favorite done in Lego after the jump.
