Its OTV, not Youtube!

July 12, 2007 - 10:01 pm No Comments

In trying to stay on top of this web 2.0 thing I’ve done a Blogjam overhaul these past couple of weeks. Not only does it have a new look but it also has all kinds of nifty tools too. Forget that Youtube site, I have my own. I am calling it OTV. Hey Google, why don’t you toss me some money for it?

All right so its not the same thing. But check it out anyways as from time to time I’ll be sticking up some vids.

Court declines to postpone Internet radio royalty hike

July 12, 2007 - 10:39 am No Comments

A federal court closed the door on legal attempts to delay the implementation of the new, heavily-criticized Internet radio royalty scheme. Webcasters’ hopes now lie exclusively with Congress.

Well, it finally happened. We pulled the trigger and got new carpet! Finally! The stinky crap carpet we destroyed has been replaced by shiny new smell carpet. Hey no food or shoes in here!

Whoops, I guess my little mobile blogging experiment didn’t last very long now did it? Well, if the server hadn’t crashed in the middle of this trip I could have told you all the fun adventures we had on the east coast. Alas you will have deal with the cliffsnotes version instead.

Welp, the whole Virginia thing turned into a fiasco for everyone, thankfully we got out of dodge (err I mean Chrysler) before the poop really hit the fan. Its tough to drag small kids across the country to a town where the only good time is the local Walmart and 5 Guys and A Grill diner. We were stuck at the Comfort Inn pool as that was the only attraction in town fun for kiddos. Oh sure Skyline drive is pretty and if you are a Civil War buff Woodstock is the perfect place for you. But if you are there for a wedding with small kids its going to be hell. As someone said, ‘Virginia is for suckers’. Ah well, lesson learned. Hey at least the wedding was a lot of fun. skyline drive-009.jpg
New York-2007-039.jpg So our second half in Hoboken was a great time. We finally got to meet the new Swift family and the Douglass family for some fun in New Jersey. ‘Bigger’ Erik (Our Erik was ‘Big Erik’) and Alison were our gracious hosts who let us sleep on the couch for a few nights, thanks guys! Also they became our tour guides into midtown Manhattan where we tromped through about 60 blocks worth of New York in one day, stopping at places like Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Saint Patricks Cathedral and Central Park. Tons of photos are in the gallery. We had a great time and now I am exhausted.
