Some of you may be aware, but many might not know that I have customers spread across five time zones within the United States (often, Hawaii and Alaska time zones are overlooked). I’ve has a customer in Fairbanks, Alaska, for approximately two years now, and this week marked my inaugural visit. After completing my work obligations, I decided to take an afternoon off and arranged a red-eye flight back home, affording me some time to explore the Fairbanks area (this time of year its light 19 hours a day) where I was staying.

Jess & I took a little vacation in February where I got to do something I’ve always want to do drive a super car on a race track.
I used a company called Exotics Racing and had a great experience.  My original plan was to drive an Aston Martin but it was not working on the day of my arrival.  They offered me several other cars to choose from but in the end I choose the Audi R8 (they gave me extra laps for free because the car I scheduled was not available).  I did choose the video package with my laps you can click the link here to watch the HD video you might notice I was smiling a lot.
While we were in the area I also got to see the Hoover Dam you can check it out here if you go I highly recommend taking the extra tour that takes you into the bowels of the dam, well worth it.
I’ve waited my entire life for this day.
Geek Achievement Unlocked!
On a recent episode of Tekzillia on Revision 3 my cord cutting tip to @Robert Herron was used for a segment.
I not sure what this means except that the show was really great in giving me credit for the tip, and I’m sure I unlocked a geek achievement level on some scale.
The segment is below and my article on my cord cutter setup can be found here. Continue reading “Geek Achievement Unlocked!”

A little trouble getting in the Spirit
I have to admit that this year I have had trouble getting in the Christmas Spirit. Not with the true meaning and spirit of Christmas the birth of Christ but just with I guess the secular Christmas stuff you might say? I am having trouble expressing this thought so before I twist this around to where no one can understand it let me just say it this way
The birth of Christ our savior I am good with.
The spirit of giving this time of year I am good with.
Everything else large and small in between I am just kind of blahhhh.
I can’t really explain why I have been blah this Christmas.  The blessings that my family and I have received this year are truly too numerous to count.  Maybe I am just tired and really need the next 13 days that I have planned off we’ll see.  (but back to the point of the post)
Then we get to today, when I received the video below in an email today from a friend. Â It just made me smile and just kicked me out of my Christmas Blah.
So if you are experiencing the Christmas Blah this year I hope it does the same for you.
Thanks Kathy Smith for yanking me out of the Christmas Blah.
