Through The Years: The Evolution of Barry Bonds (1986 - Today)

Time looks at the all-star ballplayer's development since his rookie year in 1986. Pay close attention to the changes starting around 1997. He makes a pretty big change that doesn't seem very natural to me.

Moving Blog

I am now officially setup on a new domain and I am using a really cool wordpress plugin to host my blog on the new setup. So I have just cleared 130 posts on blogger and I have transferred every one of them over to the new domain. You can read my new and improved blog at

http://technerdical.churchpunk.com


You can also visit the new domain with other links at www.churchpunk.com

So this will be my last post on this blog via blogger. Eventually I will turn it off, so bookmark the new site or subscribe through your favorite RSS Reader.

Big updates coming.

If you think I have been missing from my blog, its because I am working on a new domain to host my blog. I am way too excited about it, but that comes with being geek. But I thought I should post so that those of you who read this don't think I am slacking again. You can ask my wife how I have been tinkering away at this site and trying to teach her how to update her blog through it as well. It is totally worth the time to me though. So that is the update in short. More details to come soon.

Friday Good!!!

I know that it has been a short week, but I am ready for another long weekend. Too bad this is just a regular 2 day weekend, but the best part about it is that I don't have any plans to go anywhere or any parties to throw. I am going to finish some projects and probably start some new ones at home this weekend. Should be fun.

The Microsoft Surface Computer

Check out this video on the new Microsoft Surface Computer. Did you ever see the movie 'Minority Report'???? This is totally sweet and outrageously expensive.

The Guys Are Back!!!!

After a short hiatus, Who Are These Guys Podcast is back online. If you are into ministry and technology then you will fit right in. It is a couple of Youth Pastor and Uber Geeks like me who put on the show. If you can handle the technerd stuff, which is probably the only reason that you would read my blog, then you should check it out. The newest podcast covers the new Pirates movie, speed reading, youth pastors with many hats all while surviving some sound obstacles.

Anyways, this kind of stuff is right up my alley. So if you know me and actually are reading my blog, you might be interested in checking it out.

Who Are These Guys

A Productive Day Off.

It seems that my blog has become a weekly blog lately. I have had a lot of things going on lately. We had our weekend in Gatlinburg and I still haven't put up any new pictures from that. This past weekend we had a cookout for my Dad's birthday and a cookout for our Youth Group. So it was 2 days of hosting parties and Monday was free and clear.

Yesterday the weather held off and I got a lot of things done. We made a trip to Lowes and got a rose bush and flowers for Faith to plant in the backyard. I got all of the grass dug up for the sandbox for the kids. I also got the cars washed which pretty much guarantees that it is going to rain today.

I hope to have more stuff to post about on a daily basis now, but we will see. I am in full blown Ichthus planning mode as the event is in 2 weeks. Pray for good weather.

Another Typical Day

It has been another average work day full of password resets and quick tickets. Sometimes my job can be very menial. Sometimes the biggest challenge of the day is staying awake. I haven't been too bad today. Its easier if I find something really cool to blog about. At least today I get to go play golf. I think we are playing a scramble tonight, so I don't have to worry about scoring so much. It will give me a chance to just practice particularly on and around the green I hope. I have a week to get the golf scoring program in order. I pretty much have the schedule set and I have the final team members to add and then I can hopefully play with some of the reporting.

So that has been my day so far. Now, I am off to find something interesting to read on the Net.

Too much Weekend in my Weekend.

I did survive all the activities over Mother's Day Weekend. We had great weather and good times at the zoo and with my family. My kids were very well behaved although they got pretty worn out too. It has been a little rough going back to work today. I just feel very tired and could use a good nap, but maybe I can get to bed early tonight. We'll see, there is always something to be done.

I am looking forward to next weekend when we get to go spend a long weekend in Gatlinburg. I hope to be able to put up some cool blogs about my adventures there, but it may have to wait until I return. I don't think I will be able to find a wireless connection down there, so you may just have to settle for my twitter and kyte.tv updates from my phone. You can see all of that information at my personal website. It looks like the weather is going to be much nicer than last year for our GBurg trip. Planning on hitting the Aquarium and the Highland Games and just spend some good time relaxing and hanging with the fam.

Bobcat in Rhino Pen at Cincinnati Zoo

Today I saw the most interesting animal at the Cincinnati Zoo. I walked up to the viewing area expecting to see a Rhino, but that is not what I saw at all. It was a Bobcat!!! See the pic for more details.

Busy Weekend Ahead

You probably know that this weekend is Mother's Day weekend. It is looking to be a very busy weekend for me and my family. Tonight Faith is working so I have the kids on a Friday. That won't be too bad, but I miss out on my Friday night with my wife. Saturday we are going to the Zoo and the kids will get to see Curious George. I will get to play with the new camera and hopefully catch some cool shots of the kids. We then will be stopping at Sam's Club on the way home to pick up some things for our trip to Gatlinburg, TN next weekend. Also we are going to pick up some flowers and a rose bush for Faith somewhere along the way too. The zoo trip and the flowers are her Mother's Day gifts this year. Then the plan is to plant the flowers and things in the yard on Sat. afternoon/evening.
I also have to get ready for a cookout for my mom on Sunday. My sister and her family is coming in and we are having a big grill out. I promised Faith that I would not make her do a lot of work for the cookout because it is her day too. So, my brother Mark and I are running the show. Today I am making a shopping list so that I can pick stuff up at Sam's tomorrow if needed.
So it looks like another weekend will fly on by. Things have gotten easier now that K.C. has gotten bigger and is sleeping all night. I am keeping up with the yard and the house for the most part. Things just never seem to slow down and I don't anticipate that will happen anytime soon. Such is life. I wouldn't trade it though. I love my family and I would rather have the problem of having plans all the time as opposed to boredom.
Well, I am off to do some party planning. Have a good weekend.

Skywalkers in Korea cross Han solo

I came across this article on Digg. This actually has nothing to do with starwars, but the title sure seems to suggest it. I got a kick out of it.

Google Searches That Lead Here Volume 1.

Ok, I am stealing this idea from Josh Griffin. He usually has a long list as he gets a lot of visits to his blog and this is the first time that Google searches have resulted in a visit to mine so I get to post my very few search results that have found my blog.

It may be a long time before I have a volume 2, but this was kind of cool to see it actually is finding me in Google.

My big brother is a daddy!!!!

Very early this morning my brother Matt and his wife Heather became first time parents. The little boy who has been named Luke arrived around 12:30 AM. From the story that I got at 4 AM from my wife he was 5 lbs. and 18 inches long. Everyone is doing well and hopefully getting some rest. I don't have any pictures to put up here but hopefully will have some soon.

How to Sink Your Sermon

I found this article through Josh Griffin's blog about 10 ways you can sink your sermon. I feel that this is pretty relevant to present situations.

And if by some chance you read this Pastor John, I hope that this is helpful.

Funny Caption Game

The US Government is facing some issues
testing alternative fuels.

I got this pic off of Gizmodo. It is actually a jet propelled toilet. I bet these would have been cool to have at Ichthus.

Lets play a game and see what kind of captions you can come up with for this picture. Just leave them in the comments and lets have some laughs.
