Review of the week 3: How to Train Your Dragon

Once again I am back with yet another review.  I have been delayed for a bit more than I expected because I lost my password. anyway.  This week’s review is on the movie How to Train Your Dragon. Although people may tell you this movie is horrible there is only one answer to that.  they lie.  It starts out with a narration by the main character, Hiccup.  He then tells you about the different dragons that that are the pests of his little town.  But however, he happens to somehow befriend a legendary dragon that no one has ever seen before but they know it’s there. He begins to whole town upside down with this friendship of his.  If you haven’t seen this movie, you should.  And if you have, go see it again.  Here are some satisfied people:

Addie and Zo:  “It was the best movie ever.”

Some guy: “Uhhhhhhh, what was the question again?”

See.  So what are you waiting for, go see it nnnnnnnooooooooooowwwwwww!

Spring Break

Ever have those days where you accidentally let your head hit the pillow and immediately know that there is no way it’s coming back off?  Last night was one of those.  I planned on writing this all down yesterday, but yep, the pillow attacked and I was a goner for the night.

Gold Letter Day

So it has been two weeks since I have posted anything at all. My Twitter has been somewhat silent and Facebook is a little off as well. I need to get re-energized about the entire web thing. I am just kind of burnt out on everything: computer, school, work, paying bills, etc. It is not that I am lazy, but I am just tired. I have worked myself into a corner I feel I can not get out of anymore. I like that I have a great job, and I do have a great job, and work with really great people, really smart people. And I love working where I do, I just feel that some of the extra work/time on projects to meet a deadline, doubled with school that required a lot of what I thought to be pointless busywork, along with another side project (which I am contracted to do), with all the other stuff I have in my life just kind of broke my brain. I am getting a four day weekend in 2 weeks, which is much needed.

And the other crap-tastic thing is that every time I mow the lawn, it affects my asthma something fierce. I can barely breathe, and I have not slept well either, so last night I spent a majority of it awake and trying to breathe. I watched a few movies, and some old episodes of the office. However, I am not posting this for anything but to vent. It is hot. By the way, according to Yahoo weather, last night at 2:38 am, it was 96 degrees in Chandler. I am not sure how they measure that, but that is what it said.

In following up to the last post about a site to do a political claims review and debunking, I am close to going forward with it. Now all I need is to figure out a business plan behind it, and a sustainability model for it. SO if there are any good ideas out there, please let me know.

Updates to the site

I put a music player on the site. I just have to now figure out how I want to really incorporate this in the theme. And it only allows MP3 files, so anything I download from iTunes (which is evilly put in a m4p format) I can not put in there. But if you know of any good converters, I will convert those.

I am also going to be giving the kids their own little “sub domain” so when they post, they will have their own little sandbox area that they can play around with. So when they post, you will only see it if you go to their site. You can click on their links on the sidebar menu.

I am also trying to get another site up and running for a simple calendar. This idea came from Marc Coria. I thought, hey I can create that real quick, and get it posted up here soon. I am hoping to do that this weekend, as well. I will post the link when it is there. Not anything major, but just more coding to do and hopefully learn more.

If there are any other updates you guys want to see, let me know.

Updated site and new options

The site has been updated to WordPress 2.5.1. There is one noticeable upgrade done to the site, and that is that it uses Gravatar. Gravatars are universal avatars that can be used on many sites, blogs, etc. You can get a new Gravatar at http://en.gravatar.com/ all you need is your email address. Since this is a family site, only G rated gravatars will be allowed. Once you upload a pic, you need to do nothing for this site. Anytime you post a comment, it will automatically add the gravatar based on the email address you enter.

Please let me know if there are any bugs that you find in the upgrade.
