  • Blog Action Day – Recycling in Provo, UT

    Well, today is blog action day. A whole bunch of blogs all around the world are all writing about the environment today. For the past couple of months I’ve been thinking about what I would write today. One thing that I realized is that in the county in New York where I grew up, we…

  • Blog Action Day

    October 15th will be blog action day. The idea is to have all of the thousands of bloggers in the world, to blog about the same issue, all on the same day. This year’s topic is the environment, and I am going to participate by writing a post on October 15th. I am joining a…

  • More Pictures

    Well I’m slowly making progress on this site. Last weekend (I’m just getting some time to post this now…) I created a way to add albums to my site. This has given me the advantage of being able to have more pictures divided into their perspective albums. This isn’t a difficult concept, but if you…

  • Robots – the movie

    So I recently watched Robots and I really enjoyed it. It is a funny movie that has a great plot, and some great character development. I have seen it before, but it is so engrossing that although I had seen it before, three days after my sister-in-law started watching it and I saw the first…

  • A new RSS Feed

    Well, I had this great idea for a new rss feed. It is a chapter a day of the Book of Mormon. This is for those of you who, like me, might struggle some with reading everyday. Right now there is only a text only version, but soon I am hoping to figure out the…

  • Major Progress on the Site

    It seems that after some stalling and neglecting my sites, I have now got it setup enough that I can make some posts. I even set up RSS Feeds! I decided to setup 3 feeds. One for all of the posts, one for the general post section, and one for the Tech Stuff Blog. If…

  • A Beautiful Website

    Beautiful because its interesting I guess… I had to make a wiki entry for my HCI (Human Computer Interfaces) class and I wrote this up. I’m reposting it because unless any of you are in my class, you can’t log into the wiki to read it… Wiki #5 – Beautiful Finding a “beautiful” webiste to…
