The remains of four servicemen missing in action from the Vietnam War have been identified and are being returned to their families for burial with full military honors. Amazing that we are stillable to find these sites with enough information to identify our Troops.

Our Troops are still fighting, is America aware of this? Did we forget they are still out there fighting for OUR freedom, for the WORLDS freedom? We need to support them!!!

Peep MAC users, you have a cool All-in-one IM client app called fire, get it Yo!

This would rock, if the site was up.. XboxMediaPlayer 2.4 released The XboxMediaPlayer 2.4 point release source code is now available here on SourceForge.net. This release includes On-Screen Display (OSD), HDTV 720p & 1080i support, and support for a number of additional codecs. The XboxMediaPlayer for the Xbox allows you to use a modded Xbox to play/view DivX, XVID, MPEG-1/2, MP3, JPG & other supported video/audio/picture formats via your TV so it can used as a multimedia jukebox. It also supports streaming media over a network.

Some cool new file sharing apps out these days, eMule, eDonkey 2000 and OverNet.

Gaim .70 still has connection issues with Yahoo!. Found another bug, Gaim doesn't minimize to systray.

I changed my profile pictures a bit. I added a new and then referenced them for larger views. I'm thinking now that I'll find a JS to rotate these pictures. So, everytime the site is visted you'll see a new picture. You know what, maybe I'll include pictures that have others with me, like family and friends. They are my profile, just the same.

I downloaded Gaim .70, two revs above mine, as they say their trying to crack the authentication scheme that Yahoo is using for their messenger.

Look slike Yahoo! has closed it's ports to Gaim. I tried different hosts and ports but no connection. Yahoo! 's messenger is working with np though.

Best wishes to the NHLer's Dany Heatley & Dan Snyder. Returning from a fan event last night, together they were in a bad car accident.

A bit tired this am as I'm recovering from running 9 miles last evening. The ankles are sore and that's about it. Just tired. And of course work is busy this am. All good :)

This could be the pool hall!

See what I can buy at eBay today. How cool is that, huge savings!

Pool. Where does one play pool in SJ during the day? While we contemplate the places to play pool, look at this. Why would that picture be on the cover of a Pool & Billiard magazine? How strange is that!

I have a rough draft of the Yosemite 9/03 (Half Dome) photo album posted.

Japan had an 8 pointer last week.. damn! Thx for the info Chris.

Halloween, the infamous question, what shall I dress up as? Also known as Allhallows Eve. The night we are to fool the devil. By why is it performed the day before All Saints' Day? I can't recall from grade school what Sister Joan-Ellen(sp) was telling us. "To be frank", she told us a lot of things though, "so" naturally I don't remember.

I can't wait for the NHL season to start!

BTW: Tuolumne Meadow is at 8591 ft and Lembert Dome is 9450. TM was awesome!

Was a long few days in Yosemite. The days gave my girlfriend and I valuable time to bond and relax. A great camper she is! There were a number of fires up there which brought in a lot of late afternoon smoke. But none the less we were safe knowing our CDF crews where up there. CDF you rule! Thank you for helping! We'd like to visit Mono Lake soon. A long drive that will be but I think taking a lunch break on top of Lembert Dome would be prefetto! We didn't see too many animals aside from a few Doe's and one Buck. We heard a small bear walk by the tent one early morning. That's about it as I'm sure the hibernation process has started.

Ok, I got this cool online blog app down now! I just need to double check and backup, of course, all my data when and if I decide to change my any other html aspect on the page.

Yeepers, I see where my mistake was. I edited the server file and appended data. Today the app writes over this server file. Yesterday, I was updating the file from two different avenues. Can't do that. In order to post yesterday blogs I have to copy/paste them into the app and change the log date. No biggie.

I'm thinking, I just might have this blogger.com figured out.

recreating due to corrupted template

Yesterday I turned 36. Today, I feel great! Last night my girlfriend took me to a fabulous place for a dinner for two. We ate, drank and were merry all night long. I care not for my form here and am looking into a weblog app. Suggestions? I want to post which novels I am currently reading and keep a critical review page too. I'm getting ready for my next Yosemite trip. I am so exicted! Less crowds this time of year. Maybe I'll see a Bear this time around. Oh speaking of Yosemite, I have some pictures of our last trip there, the Half Dome hike. I'll publically post it as soon as I clean up the album face a bit. Some of the family was in town over the weekend for my brithday dinner. Thank you girlfriend! :) It was great, we all ate, drank and had a good time. Good times indeed!

Trying to think. Can't. Brooding of Yosemite.

I'm on a boring conference call at work. During it I left my office for some coffee. I wonder if they do the same? On the way for coffee, seeing the morning clouds makes me think of Yosemite. This causes me to start thinking which gear I'm missing from my list. The crazy gear list will start spinning in my head now until I'm on HW140.

I have met a lady. Very happy I am.

I need to write my Yosemite Half Dome journal. I am almost done with the new format for the pictures page.
