Navyblue at the Ritz

We went and saw our friend's band play at the Ritz in New Holland last night. It was a great night and we got the chance to hang out with a lot of friends. Becky said it was "the weirdest night ever." I'm sure she'll be posting about it later.++++++++++++-

Trying out a new browser

I have used firefox for a long time and I love it. I like being able to customize it with extensions and themes. I have tried using safari for a while but there were too many quirky things that would happen with it. Flock is another social networking browser that I have used in the past and liked, but still found myself going back to Firefox. Recently, I found out Flock will be releasing a new version in the next week or so. I was very excited to have more options when it comes to web browsing and the integration of social networking.
For those who are not familiar Flock is built off of the same frame work as Firefox so most of the extensions that you have come to love will work in Flock as well. The best thing about Flock is the intergreation with all of your accounts and networks that work with if not multiple times a day at least once.

• Facebook
• Flickr
• Xanga
• Blogger
• del.icio.us
• Twitter
  

The list goes on. . . Not to mention a built in RSS reader and many other amenities.
Below is a screen shots of the facebook integration:



The new version of Flock will also integrate an email notifier as well as other options I'm sure. I'm currently using the blogging tool to post this message to my blog. This tool allows you to type and post new blog entries in a separate window without actually having to visit your blog page. So far it is working quite nicely. I'm sure I will have more to say in the future.

update: The image uploader in the blog tool could use some work. I had to log back in to blogger and fix the image.

Snowboarding continued

I had an awesome time snowboarding. You couldn't have asked for a better day to go! It started snowing at about 1:00 and didn't stop until after 9:00. We probably got close to 3-4 inches of fresh powder it was great! I think I'm finally recovered from the soreness of snowboarding.

Although, I'm still sick. I probably shouldn't have been on the side of a mountain snowboarding all day Thursday, but I was and now I'm paying for it.

I feel asleep on the couch during the Giants/Packers game last night and Becky made me get off the couch and go to bed. That was about 9:00. I slept straight through till my alarm went off at 6:15 (ew... I dislike getting up) Still not feeling the greatest, but I'm sure I'll pull through.

Snowboarding . . .

I'm working from home this morning for a few hours and then I'll be hitting the slopes. I'm going snowboarding up at bear creek with a group from our church. I can't wait! It's been a long time since I've been able to go snowboarding and I love it thats the annoying part. So I'm leaving our house at around 2-2:30 to head up to bear creek. Looking forward to a fun evening!

I've got to get better...

. . . at updating this blog. . .

Christmas day was crazy busy we started it at mom and dad's in the morning . . .

and

after 5 stops and about 12 hours

we finished the day at John and Bev's (another Christmas tradition)

Last weekend we went to Pittsburgh with my parents and In-laws. My parents came from Michigan and Becky's parents, who live in the same town as we do, left a few hours before us. Becky and I drove out after work. It was a great weekend. I'll try to post some pictures later on. . . (this time I hope it's less than 2 weeks later)

We stayed south west of the city in Green Tree it's about a 10 min drive into downtown. Of course the weekend we plan to go is the same weekend that the Steelers and the Penguins BOTH had a home game. It was a good time and it was good to see the family.

Now it's back to the full work week. . . This weekend we are planning ANOTHER trip this time we are going to Virginia to see Ryan, Emily and Baby Brooke.
