Another weekend in Texas

Last weekend was spent hanging with my bros in Houston. Lots of beverages, bbq, and some good old fashioned pressure washing. When it comes to work, it's hard to beat the team of Kyle, Dusty, and Ben:

Kyle provides the manual labor:




Dusty is always handy with the right materials:


And Ben supervises:

Dad's first trip to YouTube

Took me a few days to get this video posted but here it is. Apologies for my "professional" video skills.

Father's Day Bash 2008

This weekend was the annual Ben and Dad [belated] Father's Day Bash in the lovely Dallas, TX. The weekend kicked off at a Texas Rangers game followed by a trip to the Fort Worth Stock Yards and culminating at Love and War in Texas for a Brian Burns concert. For those not in the know (me up until this weekend), Brian Burns is a true Texas singer and guitar player and resembles a saltier version of James Lipton from Inside the Actor's Studio. I'm not a huge country music fan but I thought this was a great set - I would highly recommend checking him out if you get the chance. Click here to see pics of all the fun.


How social networking saved New Orleans

Interesting article on multiple Web 2.0 technologies and their impact on the New Orleans recovery effort. A little something for my friends in the Big Easy...

WALL-E and Wanted

I was lucky enough to see WALL-E and Wanted this weekend. The Chronicles of Ben movie critic (me) gives 4 stars to each one - do not wait for Netflix.

Back from Orlando

The posting has once again been slow but it's about to erupt with pictures, video, and the corny humor that you have all come to enjoy. I'm back from a fun filled week in Orlando that consisted of work, 2000 calorie meals, and me jumping in the Peabody Hotel fountain for $40 cold cash. Not many pictures but a few for your viewing pleasure. Here I am getting jiggy with Rock Band at the company party in the Hard Rock Hotel. As you can clearly see, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Click here for the full album.

Back to O-town

The posting well has been a little dry lately but I'll see what I can do to spice things up again. Tomorrow is back to sweet Orlando, FL after a brief hiatus in Austin. Can't wait to see Mickey and the gang again. Camera is coming too so hopefully an album will be forthcoming.
