What SOPA could make the web look like

Ed — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 02:08:44 +0000

SOPA is a massively disputed bill being proposed within the United States government that, if passed, would effectively cripple and destroy the web as we know it. From the Wikipedia page on this topic: The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a law (bill) of the United States proposed in 2011 to fight online trafficking [...]

A Wicked Good Night

Ed — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 05:35:45 +0000

Since I have lived in Michigan I think I can count on one hand the number of times I have gone in to Detroit, and of those occasions almost all of them have been to go see an event (a play or musical, sporting event, or concert) and tonight was no different. As part of [...]

One Empty Shell

Ed — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 22:09:38 +0000

I had the good fortune to be able to get back out in the woods today for what will be my last day of hunting this season. For those of you keeping count this is my second day out during the two week firearm season. Not the best number, but seeing as the last few [...]

Kylie’s first parent teacher conference of her first grade year was today and we are very happy to report that she is doing very well. Kylie is currently reading at level 8 and she needs to reading at level 16 by the end of the year. Her teacher thinks that at the rate Kylie is [...]

A bad day in the woods…

Ed — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:27:46 +0000

For the first time in a couple of years to day I was able to go out hunting. It’s opening day here fro firearms and it was nice to be back out in the woods, even if they weren’t productive. The morning started out nice and early, heading out in to the darkness and finding [...]

Butter and Candles

Ed — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 23:25:05 +0000

Making butter and candles is not how I thought I would ever spend a Saturday afternoon, but that is what we did today. Melissa had found a flyer at the library saying there would be a demonstration of how butter and candles were made in colonial times and that we would even be able to [...]

This is getting bad!

Ed — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 23:01:30 +0000

It looks the my “problems” are going to not only continue but worsen a lot sooner than I had anticipated! I mean, she’s 6 and in 1st grade, a Father shouldn’t have to deal with this yet! Don’t get me wrong, I knew it was coming, I knew I would eventually have to deal with [...]

Labatt is nasty

Ed — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 00:12:02 +0000

I got a disappointing phone call tonight from Tiffany. She wanted to let me know, just in case Kylie decided to tell me this coming weekend, that Kylie does not like the taste of beer. Specifically she does not like the taste of Labatt beer. Apparently Aunt Sissy and Theresa were preparing to go out [...]

Lodi Farms

Ed — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 18:54:39 +0000

We took a trip out to Lodi Farms on the other side of Ann Arbor to go on a hay ride, navigate our way through a hay bale maze and allow Kylie to pick out a pumpkin. We had not heard of Lodi Farms prior to the other day when I got a Living Social [...]

An Evening in Da Moonlight

Ed — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 03:59:32 +0000

There was a time when I used to attempt to go to at least one cultural event a year. This typically took the form of going to see a play or a musical. However, in recent years, due to to time and money constraints I have not been able to continue this desire. Tonight Melissa [...]
