Helping the kids

Posted 20th January 2010 at 10:19 AM by Silverfoot (Ramblings of a Half-Elf)

My daughter teaches in the Bronx, NY. Needless to say supplies are hard to come buy. She's done a great job using Donors Choice website to help fund the needs of her students. If you can find a way to help by sending, even $5, it really does help.

Donor's Choice is a great organization that helps teachers get funding for classroom needs. Basically how it works is if the teacher can get half of the cost funded, the foundation will pick up the other half.

Here's the info:...

We've been getting up everyday at 6am (slightly later than normal for me) and walking the beach. At 10 am Trish has been hitting the pool aerobics class. I just have my headphones on, read and try not to get too much sun
Just a pleasant experience.

Tuesday we had lunch at the pool bar, didn't want to do to much as we had an excursion planned for later. More just relaxing, being careful with the sun and losing at name that tune, a game the resort had at the pool bar ($40...

Well the vacation time finally got here!
We got to JFK in plenty of time. Of course my knee replacement set off the metal detector, so I got pulled aside to get checked. The guys was quite funny and professional. He did the wand thing and a totally hand check. Went out and actually asked my wife if she wanted me released or wanted him to go with her. Then came back in and laughingly said I owed him $95 for the massage.

It actually went quicker then I thought, when we got thru...

The beta experience

Guess I shouldn't be, but I'm always a little surprised at how folks join a beta, then do absolutely no testing. Instead, they just want to get a jump on what the new stuff is. Or expose information
Hell it didn't take a tester for the current UO beta but a couple of days to break the NDA.
This happens in almost every beta I've been in, which number quite a few. I don't know if there is any answer to the problem, perhaps it's just the "way of the beast".

Dang, no photo in MIX

Posted 6th May 2009 at 11:33 AM by Silverfoot (Ramblings of a Half-Elf)

As some may know my son works for the band Slipknot. Had a nice interview with MIX magazine. His phot was supposed to be in the article, but guess it got cut. Glad to see him progressing in the music business.

I always felt comfortable with him earning a living this way. Even though his band is signed, he's not enamored with the "stage" thing. He loves the behind the scenes recording, videos, etc. He's now part of the "knot family" and they treat him that way. Hell they all call my...
