Yesterday I created the first wireframe spec for the Two Guys Around the World website. It's going to be a really awesome site. I'm also working on a modified version of SamPowers.NET so that I can update it more easily. Don't know when I'll get that rockin', but hopefully before the end of this month.

On Saturday night I went to a dance in...

I am glad to see everyone starting to reinstantiate their zeal for online blogging. Now William and Ashley are wanting to join in on the fun. I had forgotten how therapeutic writing about things on my mind had been. I'll admit that I censor myself quite a bit when writing on my site because I know who...

I got this guest pass card for the Lexington Athletic Club (LAC) and thought I would try out the Pilates class that starts at 5:30AM. At the time, I had no idea what Pilates was. So yesterday I wake up super early and head out. When I got there a little early, there was no one there for the Pilates class yet, so I toured the LAC center a little...

I think I've got you, Ms. Tea - Boulder, Colorado! When I did the previous whois lookup on your IP, I looked at the wrong address; the one of your ISP (ATT) whose headquarters is apparently located in Middletown, New Jersey. So, how's the weather in Colorado? Snow board often in the Coloradian snow-coveredmountains? :)

I have been upgrading the...

After my first official day here in Guatemala, I have already seen God work with an adventure... er... a problem... with Mark's car. Mark took me to Shalom (the church/school I will be teaching at) to check out the computer lab they have. When we got to Shalom, I had noticed a whole lot of new construction. Shalom is growing like...

I can't believe I am actually in Guatemala to stay for six months. It's crazy to think that it's already here! Last night I stayed up until 3AM and woke up around 4:30AM to get ready for the flight. Jennie, mom, dad, and grandma all came to the airport to see me off. I was doing fine until I had to turn from embracing Jennie for a...

So I woke-up yesterday morning and realized that I had to set up all the donated computers for Guatemala, pack for vacation, study for finals, and try and get a passport all before Thursday. Yes, I lost my passport. Before you laugh at this injustice to passport-security, I must argue that since the...

Playing video games is one of the least physically demanding things you could do in your free time; that is, unless you are playing Dance Dance Revolution. As you see arrows make their way up the screen to certain locations, you have to step on the corresponding arrow on the matt you are...

Yeah, it's midnight and I have to be at work at 8 in the morning and what am I doing now? Wasting my valuable sleepy-time updating this site. It's sad but true. So I went "glasses" shopping with my dad and Jennie last night. The glasses weren't for me, but for dad. We went to this place in Lexington...

So, my truck's water pump has failed and is leaking. This means, my engine is unable to cool itself which in turn could make it over-heat and blow-up into a million pieces like a glass pyrex bowl that has been badly mistreated. So that's definitely a BAD thing, so every day I have to fill my radiator with a few gallons of water and...

So this week I am going to use a demonstration in Sunday small groups that involves fire and a glass bowl. You see, I am going to attempt to describe the differences between having your light at the core of who you are and having the light "fire-up" during events (like the Fall Retreat) and fading quickly afterwards. To do this, ...

So for those of you who don't know, Jennie and I are courting. "Courting?" you ask. "Why not just say 'dating?'" We are building our relationship towards marriage in a non-stereotypical dating relationship. One example that sets courting apart from dating is that we want our first kiss to be on the...

Can we say BUSY!? Between working part-time at eLink, being a full-time night student at LCC, and preparing for this upcoming Fall Retreat, my time is definitely nihil. I had an exam and "in class writing assignment" today. Those things make you really look forward to going to class... ok,...

So, if you haven't noticed already, SamPowers.NET has been down since March 10, 2004 at around 10AM. Yes, some 14 year old kid from Florida got into my box and deleted everything for the fun of it. Why? Because when you have no life, deleting stuff that isn't yours is the most productive thing you can...

Happy Birthday, D-wellingit! Today D-well is a big two-one. Do you know what's sweet about being born on November 5? Matrix Revolutions comes out today! Yeeeeeees, NEO! Of course, you may have noticed that I have not been getting excited about this one as much as the last one. I think it's just because I have been too busy to think...

You know that picture of Jeremy I put up two entries ago? That little effect of making him back and white and duplicating him a lot is called the "SamPowers Effect." Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I invented the method when creating a poster for SamPowers.NET at the beginning of this year.

I was in the office where I used to...

Matrix Reloaded comes out on DVD this Tuesday!!!! I am going to stay up until 12:00AM on Monday and pick it up at Wal-mart. :D I can't wait!

Did you know that David Potter will be here soon!? Do you know what that means? EMIPRE EARTH! Yes, NEO! So he'll be here for Thanksgiving and then come back 2 weeks later and stay here for like a...

I'm still trying to find out where all my time went. There is a window over there, and I think it escaped out that. So anyway, I have been a learning fool the past few weeks. I am learning two new languages (one is German and the other is C++,) and converting my old AddToDB, PullDB and UpdateDB functions into my existing database...

Things have been incredibly busy. I can't believe it's almost been a WHOLE week since I have updated the site. What happened? Well, too much to say in one entry, that's for sure.

My family is going to Texas this weekend and me and my papaw are going to stay here and throw a party. We'll party all night...

Me, D-well and Rebekah went driving last night. We hadn't gone driving in a very long time, so it was good to do that again. We didn't hit any hardcore country roads like normal, but it was still good. :)

There were a bunch of International students who came to SHAKE today. It was great...

Thought I was done telling slackline stories, but I was wrong. William went out and bought a brand-new slackline yesterday. It's nice and slick and red. We had to stretch it out really well before we could do any hardcore slacklining. Like previously, we launched William a good ten feet in the...

I got together with Mr. Mercer yesterday and he showed me how to solder and things like that. I can't wait to try out my soldering skills!

Later on that night, the college group kicked off a new thing called The Living Room. It's really cool. After that, some of us went to play volleyball...

William does this cool thing where he stretches a rope between two trees and walks on the rope from one tree to the other. Last night he was showing off his tightrope walking skills at the empty Julius Marks Elementary parking lot. So D-well tries it (as you can see on the left there) and is quite...

So I meet up with a few of the guys at 'O Charley's for dinner tonight. Kizzy comes in and shows off his cell phone. It's a really old, big cell phone that has a huge crack in the front. A little twisty tie doubles as a makeshift antenna. You can't read the time because of the crack. You have to stick a piece of paper behind the...

I have run out of Katie pictures. Looks like we'll need to have a "photo shoot." :p My sister said that I should put this picture of Lorin up. We'll see who generates more controversy, Kaite or Lorin... Let the controversy wars BEGIN!

Today was not one of my best days at work. You see, I accidentally murdered a LIVE database. That's...

Ever since I have put Katie on the site, web traffic has increased 50%. In light of the magic she has created, I once again put Katie on the front page. Here you go Katie. :)

Phew. After many hours, I have finally converted all the old entries to the new CSS style and gave them a title. It was quite interesting to go back and...

Guess how much my tuition was this semester? Twenty dollars. That's right. With the KEYS money I got from High School, I made enough to practically pay for classes. Now guess how much my German textbook was. One hundred and seventy dollars. THAT'S EIGHT AND A HALF TIMES THE COST OF MY TUITION! And...

So on Sunday, I realize that I had left my wallet in Willmore with Dan so I make a trip to the dorms. While we are chillin' there, we watch a race on TV while one of the biggest UK games is being played, but we all have plenty of apathy for UK football games. So Dan, me and another guy head ...

Happy 19th birthday, Ashley! In tribute to Ashley's birthday, and my mind not being able to remember anyone's birthday, I have created a birthday list count down! You can add your birthday to it to start the countdown! However, it doesn't factor in leap years, so if you were born on a leap year,...

Today was my first day of classes. I am taking Computer Science and German. I thought that comp sci was going to be the most fun, but it looks like it's going to be German. The german prof is really good; I can already tell. The comp sci prof is a guy from Africa whose son I went to high school with....
