So shooting fireworks on Independance Day is without a doubt an American tradition, especially when theyre particularly explosive. However, as it turns out, it is not a good idea to put two large mortars on one small unstable platform. In today’s case, it almost blew up my parents, friends, and in fact did blow up the neighbors’ yard. So just don’t do it…ask Sarah.
I’ve been watching the development of Spore a little bit lately and finally bought the creature creator. It’s not a terrible buy; for just $10, you get a fully functional program that is fun for a little while. It only takes a couple of minutes to learn to create a pretty weird looking creature. One of the coolest features is the ability to make videos and then upload them directly to YouTube. So i decided to make a strange creature (the object of the entire game) give it a few children and have them dance for YouTube and post it here for you.
One of my biggest hobbies is photography, so my blog is probably going to end up with a lot of pictures on it. Anyway, when I was driving down the highway toward Tuskegee from Auburn, I saw this really cool abandoned diner on the side of the road. Well, weeks later I finally decided to go down there at sunset with some friends to take pictures of it. I’ve posted my favorites. A couple of them are edited more than just adjusting brightness and colors so I posted the originals as well.
Apparently since my appearance in a certain YouTube video in Ireland I have become an official sign interpreter. So, I decided to practice my hobby by interpreting some signs for you. I found all of these signs in the Manual of Traffic Signs. More to come later. (more…)
