House inspiration

Being an engineering type guy myself, I really like a couple of ideas in here.

Dilbert's Ultimate House (DUH!)

Shake your booty thang!

We had a good sized earthquake south of here the other day; about 150 miles away. It hit about 6.0 on the Richter scale. Jen didn't feel it at all in Morgan Hill, but we had a good shake in the office. Interestingly, Jen was about 20 miles closer to the epicenter than I was. We felt another one at the office today, but nowhere near as big. Here's a list of recent quakes in our area, and here's a map with the most recent quakes (last week).

To Pioneer Basin....and beyond!

Chris Paduan and I went for a short hike in Inyo National forest. Story will come tomorrow, but here's some quick pictures.

Hey Mom look at me!

I started dirt jumping last week...i got some cool pictures of it today! It's a lot of fun...there is only this one jump though at UBC, it's got about a ten foot gap, although it's table topped...but when you're falling from the height the jump shoots you...you wanna make that gap otherwise it's pretty rough. But we're going to move on to the bigger jumps which are over passed where shannon lives...and soon i'll be able to say "Look mom no hands!" aren't you excited?? i sure am...

soo very very sexy....

mmmmm....i want it...

Pics from Malibu

Here are a few shots from when Mom and I were at Malibu almost 2 weeks ago... drove up the Sunshine Coast and then took a 3-hour boat ride to get there. Nice place!!!

Good Book

the curious incident of the dog in the night-time, by mark haddon

(and yes, he is like e.e. cummings with the small-letter fetish)

A very good book about a kid with autism. Couldn't put it down. Check it out!

Thank god for Arnie...

I'm so happy when I hear about them passing laws for the really pressing issues.

My question is:

HOW ON EARTH DID THE FIRST BILL STALL IN A LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE?

One would think that this one would be a pretty obvious slam dunk, and not require too much thought. I'd just to like to know which of our paid officials stuck up their hand and said "Well, I don't know...what happens if they die as you're doing it...can you be charged then? How about if they're only mostly dead? I think we'll have to consider this one..."

Thanks to Noelle and her bloggy goodness.

Sorry Mom...

Dr. Carter to retire?

From the "Oh my god, who thinks of these things?" Dept.

Shan, this one is for you.

Just type in commands, and see what happens. Also, make sure you print out the mask.

If it's you in the suit, I don't want to know about it.

Thanks to Michelle for pointing this one out.
