the big day

well, tomorrow is the big day for me. i get to start my part time job, tomorrow morning bright and early i have to be to work at 6 in the morning. they will just keep me here until i get used to what i have to do. should be funa nd at least i get a paycheck form it. So i was reading this article in Wired News about and open source newspaper in California. It looks like a really neat idea, be real good for a small town. its in this article, you can read all about it. you see they let anyone from the community write a story about whatever it is they are interested in as long as it meets the criteria. so the newspaper online is constantly updated with news and events from the area. and once a week the editor picks the best stories and they get published in the weekly paper. i thought this was a really neat idea and thought i would pass it around.

the book

So i finished the latest dan brown book that i bought. and i have to say damn good. its called Deception Point. as usual its a fast read, it only takes place over 2-3 days and kicks ass the entire way. its about a conspiracy of the government finding a meteorite with fossils in the artic circle. and goes from there and suprises you in the end with who know about it and who the mastermind is behind it all. i am kinda hoping i can gather the money together to get the DaVinci Code, they only have it in hard back at this point, but i think as with the other 5 books by Dan Brown that i have read it should be all the critics say it is. nothing else new, just started my vacation today. fun so far. oh and i finally bought another game for my x-box. This time it was crash bandicoot. fun so far. right now the kids are occupying themsleves with it. yeah. anyways, thats all for now. talk to you later joe

sorry

Sorry about the delay in writing something. i have been very busy and have been having trouble with my comp randomly deleting programs. very interesting to say the least. kinda sucks cause it just deleted the program that keeps my passwords, this may cause a minor problem if the database was deleted and not just the program. oh well, they can be repaired and fixed with a little time. anyways, uhm...nothing new here. kate just had her first ultrasound done for the baby, feb 22-25 is when its due. about what they said before. we could see the heart beating. very exciting. work is going well, and so is everything else. FYI: ducks can not walk without bobbing their heads. talk to you later joe

New solitare

I downloaded a new program that expands on the solitare game that comes with windows. its called 123 Free Solitare. There are 12 different games that you can play with a deck of cards. This is from the maker of SolSuite, its their free version. You have to make sure that you go to the very bottom of the download page and pick the right one. Solsolitare is at the top and go figure it confused me to start even though i read this disclaimer. Nothing new here other than its my weekend. talk to you later joe
