It’s been a busy past couple of weeks.  We’ve been camping twice (South Whidbey and Kalaloch), Kris and I went to a M’s game, and we had the 4th of July in the middle.  It’s been a lot of fun, but it was nice to have a quiet weekend at home this past weekend.  I posted some pictures to the gallery here.  Unfortunately, I got sand into our primary digital camera during some frisbee games on the beach at Kalaloch, so most of these pix are from my phone.  Not too bad, but hopefully getting the sand out of the camera won’t take too long (or cost too much…

Hi there.  Been a while since we talked.  Rest assured, I’m not ignoring you, it’s just that life has gotten pretty busy.  I’ll catch you all up later, but how about just the current events.  Right now, we’re at Snowbird in Utah, getting some last snow days in.

Paul has been kind enough to house sit and watch Tilly and Lucas, and we escaped with the Harnesses to The Cliff.  The snow has been pretty good (typical spring skiing conditions - hard in the morning, nice by midday, slushy in the afternoon), but we got a couple of inches last night with more forecasted for tomorrow.  The kids have been having a blast - Alex is the “mad bomber”, and Leah had a GREAT day at her first ski lesson at Alta yesterday (after much trepidation).  We’ve been spending the rest of our time in the pool (yes, outside), the hot tub, and the game room.  Fun stuff.  Pix are in our gallery here.

Congratulations to the Seattle Riot for getting a bid to the 2006 UPA Club Ultimate Championships! Anne and I took the kids up to Burlington on Sunday to see Sharon and the team work hard through 2 Final games (the Front-Door and the Back-Door since there were 2 bids to Nationals available via the Northwest Regionals). We didn’t actually get to see Sharon play since she had hurt her shoulder the day before, but are looking forward to her doing some rehab and kicking some serious butt at Nationals! Go Shark!

But I laughed — SNL’s spoof of Harry Potter and Hermione’s…news.

And this one — Debbie’s a Downer (but the cast can’t stop busting up).

New visual search engine for music

A graphic-oriented search engine to help you explore artists related to an artist you already dig. For instance, I like Pete Rock. Musicplasma produces a browseable constellation of other aesthetically related funkateers — snip from the chart shown here.

As a follow-up to the Grey Album and the Clash remixes, I’m alerted to the presence of Remix Fight — a kind of collaborative/competative remix site. Check it!

In the vein of the Grey Album…dang I like the Clash!

Move over, Grey Album — “London, Booted”

Link to London Booted home, and try this alternate site if that doesn’t work.

WooHoo — the 2004 M’s season is upon us, and that means….NEW COMMERCIALS!

Check them out here. Not sure I like ‘em as much as last season, but that doesn’t mean diddly. Come to think of it, commericals in general don’t mean diddly if we don’t MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!

(sorry, just venting there. Good luck guys!)
