Liquid Web Ground Breaking of DC3

June 29th, 2008 · 6 Comments


The Liquid Web ground breaking event (video above) included a five minute tour of the two existing liquid web data centers, a brief presentation by Matt and then some words from Governor Jennifer Granholm. On stage are former mayor, and all around amazing guy, David Hollister and Delta Township Supervisor Joe Drolett. In the crowed were Representatives Rick Jones and Joan Bauer. I wish I had the memory to list everyone that attended.

Below is a playlist of four of ten (that I know of) resulting broadcast press clips from Fox 47, NBC 10, ABC 53, and CBS 6.

Feb 2008 - Bush “hadn’t heard gas will hit $4 a gallon”

June 9th, 2008 · No Comments

You’d think that one advantage of having an oil tycoon for a president would be that no matter how stupid he is at least he would have accurate information regarding the oil industry. Yet, no.

Why should we continue to trust his rhetoric?

Searching for “mummified dinosaur north Dakota”

March 20th, 2008 · No Comments

People are crazy for “mummified dinosaur north Dakota” on live.com today. My blog post, “Mummified dinosaur in North Dakota, Spits in face of Jesus”, from back in December received 9 comments so far today. I checked out the analytics report and found that 500 people had come to my site searching for the that exact key word. It seems really odd to me, I thought maybe someone had linked to it but I can’t find any indication of that.

Based on the comments, some people are praying for me and one person says “god bless” and later says I should be “bashed across the face”.

Bob: “God bless and hope you all have a happy Easter.
P.S. I don’t appreciate the title “Mummified dinosaur spits in the face of Jesus”…whoever came up with that needs to be bashed across the face!”

Amber: “You see, Satan wants us all to disagree and he wants to bring as many souls down with him as he possibly can. Look where Satan’s arrogance got him… do you want the same? I think not!”


Dinosaur searches were up today.

New door way to the deck

New Deck Entrance

Originally uploaded by BigTravMan

I decided to spend St. Patty’s day building a new entrance way to the hot tub deck. It’s been a pretty interesting process trying to blend wood framing with the existing aluminum patio. I still have to put the finishing touches on it but I got a lot further than I expected when I started this process on Saturday morning. More pictures available here on flickr.
