Sun, 24 May 2009 Memorial Day is a time to take stock of the present, reflect on the past, and renew our commitment to the future of America.
Today, as in the past, there are problems that must be solved and challenges that must be met. We can tackle them with our full strength and creativity only because we are free to work them out in our own way. We owe this freedom of choice and action to those men and women in uniform who have served this nation and its interests in time of need. In particular, we are forever indebted to those who have given their lives that we might be free. I don't have to tell you how fragile this precious gift of freedom is. Every time we hear, watch, or read the news, we are reminded that liberty is a rare commodity in this world. This Memorial Day (of 1983), we honor those brave Americans who died in the service of their country. I think an ancient scholar put it well when he wrote: ``Let us now praise famous men . . . All these were honored in their generation, and were the glory of their times. Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.'' As a tribute to their sacrifice, let us renew our resolve to remain strong enough to deter aggression, wise enough to preserve and protect our freedom, and thoughtful enough to promote lasting peace throughout the world. Message on the Observance of Memorial Day, May 26, 1983, President Ronald Reagan In The News: Some of the latest headlines from the Oklahoma blog-o-sphere and (Bum Bum Buuuum) the main stream media.

Sun, 19 April 2009 Spring has shown me something unique in our yard, an almost perfect circle. The cause of this near perfect circle, a dog named Widget. Widget resides in our backyard on a twenty foot leash. And just like a famous cartoon dog chasing after an equally famous cartoon rooster, Widget is always discovering the end of his leash. He has manged to dig a trench in our backyard in a near perfect circle. At his parameter Widget is ever vigilant, barking at anyone walking down the alley or even a block away. And God forbid a cat should wander to with in visual range.

Sun, 5 April 2009 It's another windy day in Oklahoma, and this isn't just another windy day. It's the 4th day in a row of high winds here in the West OK. It's been 4 days of howling wind, rattling my windows, shaking my trees, and blowing new trash in to my yard. Annoying as it is, the wind does have its benefits. Just over the horizon from my home is a brand new wind power farm. Generating much needed electricity to our state and beyond. Wind is the past, present, and future of Oklahoma. So everyone please remember this the next time your screen door gets blown off its hinges.

Sun, 29 March 2009 Oklahoma just had one of the worst snowstorms in recent history this past Friday. Many of our friends in the northwestern part of the state are still digging out. For us here in Elk City America the snow got about ankle high. But here it is Sunday and the snow has already melted away. I can see my lawn again. I am however particularly worried about all the plants around the state. It is spring after all, and every thing was starting to turn green. I took a tour of my yard this morning and everything that was green and blooming has wilted. So let's hope all those plants bounce back soon. Hopefully everyone around the state survived the storms well and happy, everyone safe at home nice and warm.

Mon, 16 March 2009 I started preparing this week's podcast with something funny, but ended up a on a short rant about social networking data overload, which you'll find in the second half of the program. Every once in a while just have to rant. You read something in news, that just sets off that part of your brain forces you to comment on it. And I did. I think ranting is good every once in while. In fact I'm going to encourage you to rant on something this week. If you don't have your own podcast or radio talk show, get an Utterli account. It's free. You call a phone number and rant away. Other people will hear your rant and they'll comment or rant about themselves. Start a chain reaction rant. So your goal this week dear Blog Oklahoma Podcast listener, go rant about something. Get it off your chest. But be nice about it.

Sun, 8 March 2009 Daylight Saving Time is once again upon us. This annual time shift really has my body clock all out of whack. I don't know about you, but I'm looking down at the clock on my computer and just can't imaging its as late as it's telling me. Who would have thought shifting one hour would make such a difference. Now I'll be appreciative of the daylight later this spring when I can go play out in my yard after work, but for right now... I'm tired.

Sun, 15 February 2009 Does it feel like a February to you? It feels more like late March to me. I know thunderstorms and tornadoes aren't unheard of, they are just so unexpected. Take today, I could go outside, and get some yard work done without a jacket. Now I'm not complaining, I needed to get yard work done, but uh are you sure it's February?

I needed a new PDA. I had originally set out to get a Blackberry Bold, but when I found out could get an iPhone for $200 cheaper. Well I'm now a member of the cult of iPhone. As much as I love this information device, I think I'm seriously developing a problem. I don't think I can go an hour without checking my e-mail. Somebody Help Me.

Sun, 8 February 2009 A very short video using 12seconds.tv. At 12seconds.tv you can post very short 12 second videos. Last night I downloaded their iPhone app and created this 12 second slide show video of my cat, Baby(the cat). Currently you cannot record video with your iPhone, thus the slide show. Here's some information from 12seconds.tv's FAQ:What is 12seconds?For more information visit 12seconds.tv [iPhone] Baby(the cat) on 12seconds.tv Comments[0] |
Mon, 2 February 2009 The semi annual Blog Oklahoma members clean up is now complete. And believe it or not, but I'm over joyed it took me more than a week to get it done. That meant two things: one I was incredibly busy, and two our membership is gowning. Follow up in the second half of the program.

Sun, 11 January 2009 So how many new years resolutions have you broken already? I can honestly say I've broken none. The reason? I didn't make any this year. There were times past when I make resolutions to lose weight, to exercise more, to even blog more, but most of these are something I should be doing anyway. So why make a new years resolution over it. No this year I'm doing something different. I'm not going to make any fleeting new years resolutions, I'm going to set some specific goals this year. And to prove this to myself mostly, I've added them to my "Remember The Milk" task list. So now I have to do them, their in my task list. And I'm happy to say, I've completed one, and you're listening to it.
