Run! It’s a hurricane, I mean tropical storm, I mean…

Last night I turned on the television in the hotel hoping to see some interesting news around the country and the world. Instead I was hit in the face with hours upon hours of nothing but Tropical Storm Alberto coverage.

I understand why they are doing this, to make sure that people are aware of what is going on and keep them up to date, but do we really need to have reporters standing on the edge of the ocean telling us that it

Not having a laptop and traveling

So far this has been the toughest thing to deal with while traveling. Not having a quick and easy way to check my e-mail, read the news, or blog while in the hotel makes me feel disconnected. Even though that sounds awful it is completely true, and it’s amazing how much I take for granted on a day-to-day basis without a laptop.

This is why a MacBook Pro is so appealing right now. I will be buying one as soon as I can.

The Evidence Bible

I thought that this was interesting. It is 15 scientific facts from the Bible.

One of the facts, is that there is proof of a revolving Earth in the Bible. Luke 17:34-36 describes the Second Coming of Christ happening while some people are in bed and others are working in the fields.

Don’t really know why I made this post. I just thought it was interesting that long before Philolaus was even a thought in his parent’s eyes.

Eisley, stick it in your ear

I found a song in my collection that I must have downloaded some time ago. The song is titled “Telescope Eyes” and it is by a group from Tyler, Texas called Eisley. After listening to the song, I proceeded to download their new album from the iTunes music store.

Their music is a giant story and is rockish, yet soft enough to enjoy on speakers at work. If you are a Radiohead or Coldplay fan then you will probably really enjoy the new album, titled Room Noises.

Stick it in your ear… (I’ve always wanted to say that)

Back in Dallas Tomorrow

I will be driving back to Dallas with my mom and brother tomorrow and preparing for my first “official” day of work. It’s been a good break but I am ready to get to work and actually have something to do each day.

My trip to Houston has been fun and it’s been nice to see my family but I am definitely ready to be back in “my” home. Hopefully I will have some more time to post when I get back there. I have a lot on my mind that I would like to write about, just have to find the time.

I was actually able to play a little America’s Army with Patrick over my break. Had a good time, though he learned my terrible secret of being a “spawn reloader”.

Lost Finale

Disappointing, that’s the only way to describe it. From the previews it seemed as though they were going to reveal a little more information as to why the plane went down and who the ‘Others’ are.

They touched on the issues, but in Lost style, were as vague as possible. I will probably buy both season one and season two to keep my memory fresh as the series takes a break for the summer.

In the market for a new phone

Since my move I have been looking into getting another cellphone, preferably a Blackberry or Palm.

During my first trip to Fry’s last night I talked to a salesperson who talked about how good T-Mobile’s network is in the local area. They do have cool phones but their data transfer stuff just isn’t what I want.

Sprint seems to really have what I want with the ability to Bluetooth highspeed internet into a laptop (something else on my “To-Buy” list). Their rates are pretty good and their customer service has definitely improved.

The one thing that keeps drawing me back to T-Mobile is the fact that I can take the phone to pretty much any country and it will work with a simple changing of the SIM card. Ah well, other things to worry about right now I guess…

All Moved In

I have finished the move to Dallas from Lubbock and finally had the cable company come out and hook up my internet.

The move went surprisingly well with no truck problems on the five hour drive out here. Where I am living is smack dab in the middle of Dallas. My apartment is near the outer marker for D/FW Airport, which means I will spend a lot of my time just watching the planes come and go.

I will post some pictures as soon as I can.
