Month: February 2010

The other day I was riding up a chairlift at Alta with a couple of guys who were having a discussion about life.  It is very cliché to say that the discussion was about living life to the fullest or living for the moment, but that was pretty much the jist of the discussion.  What…

First of all, I am foregoing Music Monday for this post on Valentines Day. Second of all, I think that it is kinda funny that some people abbreviate Valentines Day as VD.  I mean really? VD?  That is just kinda dumb and I hope that no one is out getting VD on Valentines day, that…

So, we opened the fifth show of the season, I had my birthday, the Winter Olympics started, and I led part of services at temple this week.  Lots of exciting stuff.  It is nice to get to the weekend and have some time off, and what a good weekend for it.  The holiday weekend will…

The 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver Opening Ceremonies I am writing this while watching the opening ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, however I won’t post it until the morning.  It will probably take that long to really put my amazement into words.  I love watching the Winter Olympics no matter…

Yeah, so i totally almost forgot about Foto Friday… (that is why I scheduled the fish post last night.)  It happens I guess, but I am not going to leave today without a photo post.  Here it is: I too this image while I was working aboard the MS Prinsendam.  We were sailing out of…

At 5:17AM 26 years ago I was born.  That is pretty cool in and of itself.  My parents were excited, my grandparents were excited, It sounds like it was a pretty good time.  I certainly can’t remember.  I also can’t remember the fact that when my mother got to bring me home from the hospital…

I couldn’t resist scheduling a post to show up right at 5:17 on my birthday. I will write about what kind of a day it was after it happens. I probably need to get to sleep early because my mother likes to call me early in the morning to wish me a happy birthday. Inevitably…

I was introduced to the Vectorial Elevation Project by Jim from Jim On Light.  The project is an interactive art installation by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer commissioned by the City of Vancouver’s Olympic and Paralympic Public Art Program and Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad.  As a lighting professional I have to say that it is pretty darn impressive…

A fellow blogger, Amanda, over at Steeling Spoons wrote a post asking what is genuine and what is superficial.  The first thing that her post made me think of was Avenue Q.  For those who don’t know, Avenue Q is a musical that is essentially Sesame Street for adults (I mean that, don’t take your…
