The Onion Online Newspaper Gets a Face Lift

The Onion satirical news site received a makeover recently. They've exposed signficantly more content (including their news archives) from behind their paid service. A recent read of the front page items had me chuckling. If you're into satire without being easily offended then you'll like the site. They've also added an rss feed so you can subscribe to it using services like Bloglines for updates without explicitly visiting the site.

A New Batch is Up

I just uploaded a dozen or so recent photos to the flickr site. There are a couple shots of Evelyn (see previous post below), several around the pool, and a few from Nonno's place.

Anybody who knows Ev realizes this is not so out of character. Evelyn Price..puddin' rice.. eat it once and ... :)

Not sure if this'll work or not...

I threw together a little video clip to see how if I could manage to post it online for people to see. Don't worry Paul... no cartwheels.. I wouldn't want to get sued! Take a look. The clip is here. It is about 2MB so be patient if you're on dial-up. You can also right-click on the link and choose 'Save Target As..' in order to save the video to your local hard drive as well. Let me know if the filetype is not playable. It should be playable by most windows machines, but I'm not guaranteeing anything.

View From Above

I just wanted to post this one direct because I like it. It might get buried on the Flickr site so I thought I'd stick it directly here.

Boy, we're sure making that pool worth your while guys! Somebody in particular is having the greatest summer on record so far because of it. Thanks Auntie, Uncle and Cousin.

Moore Lake - Part Deux

Jen, and I made the trip up to Moore Lake once again, this time under the false pretenses of inspecting Mike's construction practices. On this trip however we were joined by first-time boater Emily. Turns out Mike had help from Bart and Bart's dad as well. Of course all construction was carried out under the watchful eye of site-superintendent Stacey. We had a great time once again and took some pictures to prove it. There are a few wakeboarding shots of Mike and Bart, a couple of Cooper (who spent half the day in the water it seemed) and of course one good one of Emily on her first boat ride. You can check them out here. Thanks again guys.
