Geek Speak
Posted Thursday, July 7, at 4:08 PM Who out there considers themselves to be a geek. I do. I am an electronics geek. I like electronics and research them regularly, especially mobile devices. My current mobile device, the at&t Tilt (which is actually manufactured by HTC and just branded at&t) has recently been taken off the list of available devices from at&t...
Mission Accomplished Nealy a decade ago, a friend and I were sitting in Sociology class at Arkansas Northeasern College when word came that the college was closing due to a national catastrophe. As we walked out of the class and into the cafeteria, the televisions were showing the planes crashing into the World Trade Center...
Spoiling for a fight... Sunday, April 18, 2010. St. Charles, Mo. I sat in my seat as the lights went down. The sound of the crowd was deafening. A few seconds later....BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The crowd was electric as the opening pyro welcomed us to TNA Wrestling's "Lockdown" pay-per-view at the Family Arena...
Where does the time go? This past weekend (April 10-11) my wife and I took our son to two birthday parties -- one for his cousin and one for his friend (busy weekend). The party for his cousin was at Indian Park. I watched as he ran around like a mad man, playing in the rocks, sliding down the slides, and climbing on the jungle gym. He had a ball...
Regression through Progression "Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you." Those were the first word uttered through the newly invented telephone in 1876. The telephone, invented by Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson, was a game changing device that enabled electric vocal communication...
Life in the Cloud No, I'm not talking about the planet Bespin or Lando Calrissian (yes, that's a Star Wars reference). I'm not talking about heaven or the "pearly gates." This isn't the story of the little raindrop that could. What I'm talking about by "Life in the Cloud" is "Cloud Computing."...
Happy Birthday to my Wife With December 8 being my wife's birthday, she told me that all she wanted to do was go out to eat and go watch the second installment of the Twilight Saga: New Moon. (I was so thrilled). Since the series is overwhelmingly popular, I took it upon myself to pre-order tickets for the 7:25 p.m., showing on December 8, at the Paragould Cinema 8...
MY YEAR in review. Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the oh so [in]frequently updated DDD Web log (FYI -- Blog is short for Web log) that is, "From the Desk." Over the past year, I have been witness to various events from the area, some of which I have shared with you, some of which I haven't. Today, we shall recap George Anderson - 2009...
As most children do, I used to enjoy games of 'cops and robbers' when I was younger. On Monday, Aug. 31, I, along with fellow reporter Joshua Payne, stepped up the ante of the "Cops and Robbers" game, playing against some of Kennett's finest as we took on the role of "Bad Guys" during the Kennett Police Department Strategic Response Team's (SRT) training session at The Bridge...
Adventures in Potty Training For the past few weeks, my wife and I have been working hard to potty train our 2-year-old son. We tried twice before, but it didn't seem as if he was ready yet. We decided that since he was supposed to start daycare in August, we better hit it hard and heavy and get him trained. We opted, bravely, to dismiss the Pull-up training and go straight to underwear, or "undies" as my son calls them, still leaving the diaper on him at night to forgo any chance of sleeping in Lake Jacob...
Recently, as of Saturday, June 27, I believe, my family welcomed a new pet to our home -- a kitten. A couple that we know, (Chris and Heather R.) and who know my wife works at KenMo Vet Clinic, stopped in a few weekends ago (June 20-21 to be exact) with a small, tan kitten...
The Decline of an Industry; the Rebirth Through Film Good day, readers. With this entry I am going to bring you a story of such overwhelming philosophy that your head will explode (well, not really, but it was a cool intro). Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you.... THE DECLINE OF AN INDUSTRY; THE REBIRTH THROUGH FILM (insert dramatic bass line here)...
Everyone's Perfect I love how everyone is perfect and no one makes mistakes. It makes me happy to live in a world where no one ever does anything wrong. How I only wish that in the days foregone, the people of this earth would have had the same luxury of perfection that exists today. The poor fools of days past had to live with making mistakes and, subsequently, correcting those mistakes after getting an earful from the one individual who, at that time, was perfect. I pity those poor souls of yesteryear...
Get Geek! Ladies and gentlemen, back by not so popular demand is Get Geek! After underwhelming support from my last entry, I have decided to continue the segment. (if you haven't read my 'Get Geek' before, go back and read my 'Sections' blog) First, I give you the Get Geek Tip of the Week!...
Mr. President... Ladies and gentlemen, I now present to you, the first edition of From the Desk in the year 2009. It has been a WHILE! (44 days to be exact) My last blog was posted on Dec. 8, 2008, (which happens to be my wife's birthday) and was titled "My Interview with David Gist." It was quite a popular blog discussing (obviously) my interview with David Gist. David is a driver for Clint Black. If you haven't read it, click HERE!!...
Note: This entry is a little different than my past blogs...Now, on with the show... On Thursday, Dec. 4, 2008, I traveled to the big "little town" of Hornersville, Mo., to do an interview with David Gist (BTW...if you haven't read the article, click HERE to do so)...
Pictures "We don't like our photos because we look like ourselves." (a somewhat scary thought...I shudder..) That is what was said to me in a recent conversation with a guy I'll just refer to as Yoda. Yoda is a very wise man. He's been around and seen a lot. ...
Modern Day Water Cooler Back in ye olden days (like just a few years ago) when most every office had a water cooler (several have water coolers now but we don't so I'm acting like they're rare...let me be), staff members would find themselves congregating around said cooler to chit-chat about current goings-on in life, television, and other issues.(that was a cleverly written sentence...haha)...
Meet George... Since many readers do not really know who I am (several people have read my blogs and columns and still don't know who I am), I've decided to take this time to tell you a little bit about myself. I like long walks on the beach, cuddling up in front of the fire….wait…this isn't a personal ad…....
