Ian in I.T.

For Christmas Kami got me the first piece of my new project, a barrel for an AR-15. My long-time friend from High School (Marc) recently moved to Walla Walla, WA. We spent New Years with he and his family and had a really great time. We looked at a ton of options and items for[…]

I installed Windows 8 on my Virtual Machine today. I really wish I could learn the reasoning behind the new interface. Granted I’ve only been really using it for a couple of hours or so but they have worked really hard to limit productivity. So far the 2 biggest things are a missing task bar[…]

I recently had the opportunity, like many others, to play test the next iteration of Dungeons and Dragons. (D&D Next) It was a good experience overall. Our biggest hurdles were from incomplete information. The system is designed to be much more flexible than the current version (4E). I think the strict rules make for some[…]

Last week I finally upgraded my phone. I’ve been eyeballing several phones that have released since I got my first Android phone.  The specs for this one (Evo 3D) released early this year and I was pretty sure this was the phone for me.  1.2GHz dual-core processor, 4GB of internal storage and 1GB of RAM.[…]

Our little world is coming along quite nicely. We have several things from Lord of the Rings built. Alex is building Asgard with the Rainbow bridge. Jake and I have been building a Roman Coliseum. There are lots of other things going on. Here’s a render of Minas Tirith.

I recently discovered a new game. Minecraft! It is basically a sandbox style game. You start out with nothing in this world. You run around and interact with things to gain resources and then combine the resources using recipes to create tools and other items to use in your world.  At night bad guys come[…]

Recently my life has been completely full of Dungeons and Dragons role playing. I normally play once a week on Wednesdays. Lately it has been at least twice. Last night I ran a session for my nephew and his friends. It was their first time and it went really well. They all wanted to know[…]

My 2 boys are huge fans of Brian Regan and have so many of his jokes memorized. We were pretty excited when we saw that he was coming. We were lucky enough to have such a great neighbor/friend that manages the bookings for the Colosseum on campus. Kami asked if there was any way that[…]

I finished my first skin for the best clock widget on Android…Beautiful Widgets. It’s available in the downloads section of the widget settings.

I'm glad you like it. I just used the templates provided by the developer. http://levelupstudio.com/addons/bw/skindevkit.zip I use…

Yes, I was just totally curious as to how on earth you made that beautiful widget skin?? Was it…

Cute puppies, I also like the name choices!

No kidding. I think I need a new truck first. We do want to travel with them though.

Adorable. It makes me want to have a puppy!!! Can't wait to see them in person. You…

It's going to be crazy. Hopefully you can come visit when they are really small still.

I love those puppies already. Good luck Kami!!!

All I could see was the quilt he was using as a protective covering. Dad thinks its fake...after the…

I can't imagine he had very many brain cells left.

Was that guy from Canada? "Sorry boot that." He looks like he's been doing this for a while…
