Pink Slipping  

Posted by Stephen Lowe

Pink slipping is the act of firing, terminating or ending a relationship with something or someone. I heard a guy I know use the phrase for a friend of his that had worn out his welcome. It's a beautiful, easily identifiable phrase that everybody gets and is highly descriptive.
Today, I'm pink slipping the northbound access to I-85 from Hwy 211 in Braselton. Until the DOT puts a left turn light there, I'm done. I have spent to much of my life expectancy trying to turn left and not die.
I'm sure I'll find something or someone else to pink slip shortly. Maybe this will become a weekly installment.

Snow!

While Pastor Tony was blogging about this, we were doing this! He probably thinks he got the better deal but I beg to differ. Snow in Georgia, how cool! We cut up a big box and did some read snow boarding down the big hill, southern style. Ethan's first real snow, he loved it.

Gratuitous amounts of shredding!

There was talk of this on Sunday at church with regards to Guitar Hero 3. For those that would like to witness the fury first hand, here ya go! The entire song rips but it really gets stupid at the 3 minute mark when the guitar battle starts.

The Wall

I saw this on the way in this morning and had to stop to take a couple of pictures. Looked like a wall in the distance. Pictures don't do it justice. The the sun started coming up over it as I was standing there, pretty cool.

For Geeks and Gamers

I guess if you fall into both categories this is cool too. Imagine playing a first person shooter on, lets say a 105" projection screen! It will be like you're in the Matrix and can dodge bullets! Sweet! This guy is a genius. The video is a little long, if you aren't into technology or games don't even bother, but if you are it's so worth it.

Catching on quick

So, yeah, I'm a dad and inclined to think my kid is best at this or that. Or is the smartest ever, really I have proof now to back up the claims. He had been more and more frequently asking to use our computer to play games and was starting to get the hang of it so for Christmas we bought him this Fisher Price computer system that hooks up to the computer and sends him to websites related to the cartridge he plugs in. We got a little desk and chair and got an old PC to run it on. He rarely asks for help with it anymore, he just gets in the chair and goes. It blows my mind how quickly he learns stuff, check it out.

Ethan got a bike for Christmas from Santa and I can't resist posting this pic I ripped straight from my wifes blog. That is one cool dude!

I'm Zuned  

Posted by Stephen Lowe

Zune arrived yesterday to my surprise. It was a good surprise, i was just amazed it got here so fast. So far I'm loving it. I was able to get it setup and running after syncing 34GB of music, create playlists and had it jamming all night for our New Years party. Very cool, i'm still playing with the video formats but I've got a couple on there and it seems to work very well for that. Make sure to check out the custom engraving on the back, skull melting warning included.
