Successful Geocaching…

April 30, 2008

I went and searched for a total of 4 different caches on Tuesday and guess what… I found them all.  I searched for the Hillbilly Cache again.  This time, I searched on the right side of the stream… and it was there.
After that, I drove back home to Pittsburgh.  My friend and I went caching [...]

CD Releases (Week of April 29, 2008)

April 29, 2008

There’s a lot of new CDs out this week, including the long-awaited Madonna CD.  We’ll get to those in a minute.  First, though, I want to talk about the band Local H.  Most people didn’t know who Local H was but most people know their only real hit.  The funny thing is most people think it’s called [...]

Dumpster Diving

April 27, 2008

I just got an advance screening of the package that Missi Matthews did focusing on dumpster diving.  Apparantly, a group of students at Penn State save a whole lot of money each year by getting food, transportation, and other good stuff from dumpsters.
It’s amazing to see some of the things that these students find.  You [...]

More Geocaching + Pictures

April 27, 2008

The weather has been fantastic over the last couple of weeks.  Temperatures have warmed into the 80s and we’ve seen our fair share of sunshine, especially for the month of April.  That allowed me to get outside again and do a little more geocaching.
Here’s some pictures from my geocaching adventures…

Boos and Ruus

April 27, 2008

The Pittsburgh Penguins just won their 2nd game of the series against the New York Rangers by a score of 2 to 0.  It’s a big win for the Penguins and it forces the Rangers to come out and play a crucial game three in New York.  While watching the game, I noticed a lot [...]

I just found an article done by a guy in Kansas City.  It talks about the accuracy of meteorologists.  Follow this link to the Severe Weather Team Blog for all the details.

CD Releases (Week of April 22, 2008)

April 21, 2008

It seems like we’re throwing back to some older groups with the new releases this week.  We have Blind Melon, the group that sings the song ‘No Rain.’  Also, Goldfinger is back.  If you remember, they had the song ‘Here In Your Bedroom.’  If you like country, there’s a new CD by Phil Vassar.  If [...]

Optical Illusions and Online Music

April 21, 2008

I was searching the internet for cool website tonight and I stumbled upon a couple of cool sites that’ll probably keep your interest for at least 10 minutes or so. 
The first site kept me occupied for a little while.  It was full of optical illusions.  Most likely, you’ve seen some of the illusions before, but you [...]

Wii Whiteboard

April 21, 2008

I posted about this on the weather blog a while ago, but I thought it was worthwhile to bring it up again just because it’s pretty freakin’ cool…
A lot of schools have expensive electronic whiteboards that can display computer screens and let you manipulate them. These boards run in the thousands of dollars. Now, there’s [...]

Geocaching and Bees…

April 19, 2008

I really like being able to get out there and into the fresh air for a while.  That’s why I love geocaching so much.  I’m just wondering if it’s going to be something I’ll be doing in the summer.  You may be asking ‘Why.’
