You be the judge.

It's so funny how we get to certain places on the web.

1. Yesterday on Twitter, C.C. Chapman encouraged people to take pictures of themselves at work, upload them to Flickr, and tag them with "slackershots". He even registered www.slackershots.com to point to the tag page for it.
2. One of our fellow Twitter friends, Todd Van Hoosear, uploaded a picture of himself.
3. I browsed the gallery and remarked on Twitter that his picture resembled Ryan Stiles of Whose Line Is It Anyway?
4. Todd then posted the picture you see in this post and mentioned it on Twitter.

Todd and I have never met in person, but I sure hope we get to at some point.
What's that? You want to know what picture I submitted? I didn't have my camera with me yesterday, so I resubmitted my picture as a Home Fry Speed Demon.

Elvis is Everywhere, Man!

It was thirty years ago today that the King of Rock and Roll passed away. I remember in January many years ago, WSAI-AM in Cincinnati played an Elvis marathon (It's now an ESPN station). We had wood floors, and my sister Steph and I would skate across the floor to the music in our socks.

In college I remember listening to WOXY-FM, and they'd often play "Elvis is Everywhere" by Mojo Nixon. This is the chorus, direct from my memory:

Elvis is everywhere
Elvis is everything
Elvis is everybody
Elvis is still the King
Man oh man
What I want you to see
Is that the King
He lives inside
You and me

Why not buy the song off iTunes today to hear for yourself? Just remember to steer clear of the evil, opposite of Elvis... the anti-Elvis. The Anti-Elvis has no Elvis in him.

Mojo Nixon, "Elvis is Everywhere"
Mojo Nixon, "(619) 239-KING"

Have a Harry Potter Day!

My scar is hurting. Could Voldemort be near?

For awhile I'd forgotten I'd left the webcam on. So I decided to do a self-portrait.

National Bring Your Child To Work Day

Today is National Bring Your Child to Work Day. I bet there's a link somewhere on the internet about. Not here (yet), unfortunately.

So Keisha is with me at work. Maybe I can convince my coworker to take our picture so I can post it here. Update: My coworker is going around, taking has taken pictures of families, so expect a picture to be posted back here soon! check out the pictures!

Oh, and I have a great playlist for the next episode of the Journey Inside My Mind Podcast.

My Life Map

Doug from salgoud.net has apparently started a new meme in the blogosphere, involving the new Google multi-directional maps.

I went to Google Maps and entered in every place I've lived since I was 3 years old:


I honestly can't remember the streets where I lived before then. Some of them might not be around any more. And I think I left out some of the times when I moved from one place to another and back. In addition, I purposely made sure some addresses were vague to protect those who still live there. I also left out the addresses where we stayed with the Official Mom when we visited in Texas because I couldn't remember them. I'll probably have to check with her.

Check out the resulting Google Map (note, made into a TinyUrl for convenience).

According to Google, the journey that took me 33 years is 766 mi and can be traversed in about 14 hours.

What's your Life Map look like? Go to Google Maps and create yours. Post a link in the comments or put it up on your own blog if you've got one. Leave a comment here so we can go see it.

Shave and a Haircut

Mood: tired
Listening to: fan in the window, washer and dryer in the kitchen
Reading: The Magic of Thinking Big
Eating: Hmmm... an evening snack perhaps?
Watching: something on TV

Jennie, Keisha, and I went to get our hair done this evening. I'd shaved earlier in the day, so this picture really makes me look a lot younger:



The smile sure helps, too.

The Official Mom says I look about 5-years younger without the beard. But I think my eyes show my age.

Talking with the Official Mom This Evening

Tonight we talked with the Official Mom of Journey Inside My Mind via SkypeOut. We have the laptop speakers connected to the stereo system so that everyone could hear my Mom. Keisha, Jennie, and I talked for close to an hour, and I took some pictures, which will be on this post momentarily.

What's great is that Keisha, who is hard of hearing, could hear her Nana very well and talk with her as though she was here. Technology is amazing that way.

Slideshow from Keisha's Birthday Party

I just put together a slide show using pictures from Keisha's birthday party:
