Today. Was. Awesome!
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009Today was awesome. While riding on Kings Island’s The Outer Limits: Flight of Fear this afternoon, we got stuck. Yes, I’m sure most people would get a little freaked out by something like that, but then again, I’m not most people. This was 12 whole minutes that I won’t soon forget.
Flight of Fear (or [...]
Dear Nikon, Where is My Camera?
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009I recently purchased a shiny, new Nikon D5000 digital SLR camera. This was a brand new model, released in April 2009. I had been tossing around the idea of buying a new digital camera for quite some time, so when the D5000 was released I jumped on it immediately, buying it from Amazon the day [...]
A Review: The Garmin Forerunner 305
Thursday, March 5th, 2009This review is a long time coming…but here we go. Back in July 2007 Abi decided that she wanted to use some leftover birthday/Christmas/wedding money to buy a new watch. Not just any watch, a GPS watch that was designed to be used while running or biking. As much as I love technology, I actually [...]
Look Back, but Don’t Forget About Moving Forward
Thursday, February 26th, 2009Tonight the University of Cincinnati Bearcats will be taking on the Mountaineers of West Virginia in a college basketball game that will no doubt receive a little extra attention on ESPN. You see, West Virginia’s coach Bob Huggins was once the head coach of UC. Surprised? I didn’t think so. It’s clear that as a [...]

Fairbanks Packs House; Records Live Album
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008CINCINNATI, Ohio – 23 August 2008 – Roger Fairbanks is at it again, this time in front of a live audience. On August 23, 2008, Fairbanks invited a crowd of 50 friends and family to his home for a private concert. The Cincinnati weather was hot and muggy, but that didn’t stop the enthusiastic fans [...]
No Power Means No Shower
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008This past Sunday Hurricane Ike pummeled Cincinnati and the surrounding areas with wind. We’re not talking about some lame breeze you get in the springtime with bunnies hopping around and flowers blooming; this was the kind of wind that didn’t think about sucker punching you in the gut, knocking you down, and then kicking you [...]
A Little Rain Won’t Keep Cincinnati From Skipping Work
Monday, March 31st, 2008Abi and I had the chance to attend an Opening Day baseball game today at Great American Ballpark. The Reds took on the Arizona Diamondbacks. Besides the rain and the loss, we had a really good time.
For your viewing pleasure, I have posted some photos of the game: Opening Day 2008
Oh, White Death, How I Loathe Thee
Thursday, February 21st, 2008Listen: I’ll be the first to say that if it’s going to be cold, it might as well snow. But hold on; there are some stipulations that belong with that statement, and apparently Mother Nature didn’t check her voicemail (either that or she finds joy is screwing with the city).

Snow: Friend or Enemy?
Monday, January 28th, 2008Ah yes, winter time. The leaves fall off trees, the temperature drops, Christmas season comes upon us, and the number of reported chimney fires increases exponentially like Nintendo Wii sales this year. And it snows. In Cincinnati it snows…maybe not a lot, but enough to shut down the city. Up until [...]
