A Lutheran blog list
I found a list of blogs by Lutherans It would be nice if it was LCMS centered but oh well. I submitted my site, I hope that it gets listed. I wonder if they plan to do some syndication like the Pittsburgh Bloggers site does.
I voted today
Well I did it, I voted today; I went down and voted on the 3 things my voice would matter in. The 2 referendums and the special election for the state senate. Being a republican I did not bother to vote on the primaries, it not like it would have mattered, the republicans never win[…]
New Tank for my Betta
I saw a nice 10 Gallon tank today in a store for about $10. and I thought my Betta (named Stroustrup) could like a new bigger home, right now he is in a 2.5 Gallon tank. I have gotten it home now, and filled it with rocks and water, tomorrow after I get home from[…]
Happy National Bike to work week
Well this week is National Bike to work week. Just some of the benefits to biking to work, it is better for your Health; you don’t really have to sit in traffic (therefore it is more relaxing) [and for those of you that are into preserving the environment, it does not cause pollution]. You do[…]
Radio Scanning.
I checked into Sunday’s scanner net this week, it was fun, it lasted a bit longer then it was planned to last by the net control. I got some good information, I was wondering about what frequency the TV stations use to communicate to their choppers, and to the people that they send out to[…]
I am getting sick and tired of the stupid (evil) spammers
They say that in the next 5 years that the internet might die because of spam, well I am starting to think it might be sooner, I am getting so tired of all the spam, this last weekend I got well over 100+ spam messages all about some fake stock about to move, I guess[…]
The Row office’s referendum
I just read about the other referendum on WPXI’s web site. After reading the article and seeing a talk show on the race (here) I don’t think this is a good referendum. Yes cutting jobs in government does sound good, but the jobs they want to cut, are important ones, and I don’t thing they[…]
Happy Birthday Mom
Well Wednesday was my dad’s birthday and today is my Mom’s birth day. So Happy Birthday Mom, I love you, I hope you have a good one.
What do Lutherans do on a Saturday night?
Well if they are a member of First Trinity, they might find themselves at a Graduation party (congratulation Jonathan). We had “Dance Dance Revolution”, and Karaoke. It was great fun, one of our Pastors did Elvis songs, and I got 2 videos of it, here and here. I also got a lot of pictures of[…]
It does not take long for google to index my pages (when I put an entry in)
I just looked at my log files, and found that people are finding my site from google with search terms that hit my web site for an entry that I put in just the day before. It is cool that google indexes my site almost once a day.
The City is cracking down on scalpers
The City of Pittsburgh is limiting scalpers to a limited area, I think this is a good start, but I believe that the city should make scalping illegal; my opinion is that scalpers are the scum of the earth. They try to buy up all available tickets then try to sell them for more then[…]
Suspicious package scare on the Roberto Clemente Bridge (near PNC park)
To top off my bike ride today, I saw some news coppers over the north shore, so out of curiosity I bike on over there. As I come up from the bike trail I get told by a police officer to get away from the bridge (the office was not being bossy or anything like[…]
Today’s 3 hours on the bike
I did a bit of a different ride today, I rode up to the civic arena, and when deep into the heart of the city on the city streets, not something I would recommend for the faint of heart but I did it. I toped the day off with a bit of excitement (see next[…]
