Well we have gotten things moved over to the new server.  My brother-in-law does my hosting and got fed up with Brazilian hackers busting into his server.  So he’s ditching the server and has moved us over to Dreamhost.  Same great service, with THEM dealing with the hacking hassles. 

In other news, my wonderful wife agreed to let me have a new cellphone, even though I just got a “new” (re. used) phone several months ago.  So I picked up the new Treo 700w from Verizon.  I already had the data plan so I now have a very good phone/PDA combo.  I’ve had it for almost 2 weeks now and love it.  Great battery life, all the PDA functionality I want, and with the data plan I can get and receive emails.  Works well with my wife since she’s on the road quite a bit.  Anyway, if you’ve been thinkin about this phone, I highly recommend it.  I have a 512MB SD card for storage, downloaded an app to overclock it a bit and speed things up, and installed Wisbar Advanced to give me some added functionality.  So now it’s running like a champ.  This should do me for the next oh… 6mo

Man oh man, apparently the price for an entire town is pretty cheap. Free cable for 10 years. Check this out. Apparently some town has decided to rename itself to “DISH” in response to a challenge by EchoStar. In return, all residents receive free equipment and service from Dish Network for the next 10 years. We’ll find out tomorrow which dumbass state is gonna have the dubious honor of having that town. Companies will do anything for marketing.

Heh, on a totally unrelated note. It’s currently 32 degrees and the gang at work is getting ready to go outside and play volleyball. Every year we see how far into the fall/winter we can go playing outdoor volleyball. We have our own sand court outside. Gonna be a cold one today. No rain though so that’s good. I’m thinking this will be it for the year. Hope I don’t loose a toe or something.

From the forum I frequent we get a little bit of humor. At least I thought it was funny. Don’t know if this is a real commercial or not, but the kid in this is great. He really feels for the guy he’s talking about.

Take a look a how he was injured bad

Three post day!!! Woohoo!!

Okay, I’ve been duped. Taken in by the believability of it all. A quick google finds that the Robertson comments on Hurricane Katrina were FALSE. Whew, good thing I ain’t a reporter.

It is unfortunate though that the story was so believeable as far as so many people felt he really could have said those things. All right, I admit it, I’m a goob. Next.

Sweet double post day. The way it’s going I may get 3 in today

So once again from the BRHF I have been informed of Pat Robertson’s latest antics. And I’m just speechless. Okay obviously I’m not speechless or I wouldn’t be posting anything. But wow, I can’t believe it. He’s actually blaming 2 of the worst disasters in the U.S. on little ‘ol Ellen Degeneres. The fact she likes the ladies more than the men? Hmm, I highly doubt it. Now I try to be a good practicing Christian, and do pretty well most of the time but do fall short here and there (God knows how I like my beer ). But there is no way in hell I can even pretend to understand how he thinks this. I mean how many people in the U.S. are homosexual? I don’t know the exact number but I’m guessing quite a few. Are we really supposed to believe God has singled out this one person? Now I don’t agree with the church on quite a few things, and the fact that God would impose his wrath on thousands of people (hetero and homosexual alike) because of the lifestyle of one person? For the record I have no problem with homosexuality. So that’s why this perplexes me even more. I guess if I was more homophobic this would make sense and I’d jump on the bandwagon. But really, it’s just sad that he would blame this on the fact that Ellen is hosting a stupid television awards show. I’d have to say, if I was sitting in my church and my pastor came up with this hair brained idea, I’d probably pack up my stuff, get up, walk out and never come back. As a Christian aren’t you taught to be compassionate and accepting and loving of your fellow man? Apparently in Pat’s eyes, only if your not batting for the same team.
