Alexis's Baptism

We were in the greater DC area last weekend to celebrate the baptism of our niece Alexis. Here we are with the little darlin'. It was good to see Valerie and Rob as well as Russ's parents and Aunt Claudia and Uncle Jeff's family. Can't wait to party this weekend with the Millers at Stacey and Rob's wedding!

LHC Rap

I'm about 2 weeks late on this post about the Large Hadron Collider, unless the world ended when they started it up and this is some sort of alternate dimesion. But I think this ultra, ultra, uber, ultra nerdy rap video was too good to pass up. Its also actually pretty informative and I feel I know more about additional dimesions and unified theory than I did 5 minutes ago.

OMG, Couric Punks Palin!

I admit I'm not one of these Katie Couric fans that fancy her a hard hitting journalist (although I admit I've not watched her recent journey into nightly news, and think of her as primarily a fluff GMA personality). But I must say, she tee'd up on Sarah Palin in their interview, and I think she derserves some serious credit (primarily for getting the interview, cause it didn't look like it took too much to show the lack of knowledge in Palin). It was the bad cop to Sean Hanity's good cop. The spirit of Tim Russert is likely smiling (the bills are 3-0!)

Abandoned

This is probably one of the more interesting blogs I've looked at in a while, about some transplant exploring lots of abandoned buildings in Baton Rouge. It takes a single theme and does it right. Plus a strange, erie feeling takes over one when even looking at the photos of these buildings; its like pure bottled sad, dessolate, and alone.

Nebraska is gaining recognition!

Someone sent this to me and asked if this is a common Nebraska treat. I wish. I'm not sure if I should be proud or sad. Nebraskans have always pushed the culinary boundries.
