Dell IdeaStorm Post

This is a copy of an idea that I posted on Dell's IdeaStorm site. If you like it please log on and promote it and hopefully the will implement the idea.

"I think that Dell should look in to selling this cable (or one like it) for their laptops with an HDMI port. This would allow for the users to connect to most "older" TVs, which don't have an HDMI port, for presentations, gaming, and video watching(as I feel VGA cables are lacking in quality and audio options).

That Time of Year

It's about that time of year now. The time when people start asking what I would like for my birthday. I usually reply by telling them that I don't know. This year I can say just look at my wish lists on Amazon. With the universal wish list button I have been able to add items to my list, even if they are not listed on Amazon. So for those who say I am hard to shop are really want to get me something there are some ideas.

Update (Brief Bio)

This is a copy of an update I posted on Facebook on 06/01/2009. I thought that since everyone who visits my blog my not be on my Facebook I would post it here as well.

"I have decided to post this (very brief) update for those of you that I haven’t seen in a while. After graduating from high school, in Derby Kansas, I had the opportunity to serve as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was called to serve in the Micronesia Guam Mission. This covered the Republic of Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, Northern Marianas Islands, and the Marshall Islands. Most of my time was spent on Guam with some months on Saipan and a visit it Tinian. I am eternally grateful for the chance I had to service. These two years changed my life and greatly shaped who I am today. After these two years I came home to Kansas. I chose continue my education at Cowley County Community College studying Computer Science. On 20th November 2004 my wonderful wife Mynnette and I were married for time and eternity in the Latter-day Saint Temple in Omaha, Nebraska. We have been married for four and a half years. In 2007 we decided to purchase a house (in Kansas). This allowed us to become licensed to do foster care. To date we have had 12 children stay with us in our home for various intervals. We currently have 3 young children staying with us. I have also continued serving in my church in various capacities (Primary Teacher, Ward Clerk, Executive Secretary, Sunday School Teacher, and most recently as Nursery Worker and Assistant Stake Executive Secretary). I currently employed in the office of the Sedgwick County Offender Assessment Program. Hopefully this gets most of you up to speed on what is going on if not feel free to drop me a line."

Free QuikTrip Food!

I was in a QuikTrip restroom several months ago (don't stop reading this isn't a restroom post). I noticed a flyer stating if you logged onto their customer service web site and rated the store you would get a free hot dog and drink. Well I'm not one to pass up free food. And if you're like me you like the gas station quality food at QuikTrip. After filling out the survey I was asked if I wanted to join their web group. If you join their group you will get a free food item one a month for filling out a survey. If you live or work near a QuikTrip like me this is well worth the couple minuets it takes to fill out the survey. Click on the image below to go to their group page.

Up and Coming

If you figured out the meaning behind the address you get 10 points! Geocities is shutting down and I figured now was as good a time as any to move my web site. This is where I will be posting my blog. If you would like to know about some of the projects I am working on I also have a blog to Hunchback Studio. I'll keep you posted (they will likely be short and far between).
