Long Awaited Update: Big News

June 8th, 2011 No comments

As per usual, I dont have enough time to provide adequate updates to this website. And I do apologize for the people that actually read this.

However I do have some news. This guy is ENGAGED! That’s right I decided to take a big step in my life and ask a very important question to a special someone. Want to know how I did it? Check out this website:

I bought that domain a while back, and while it just now houses the video I created before popping the question, I plan on turning that into our wedding site, so STAY TUNED!

If Gizmodo talks about it, it must be a big weather event

After all, they did leak the iPhone4 months before it was officially announced by Steve Jobs. Maybe they know something about this storm meteorologists dont know.

Today they are talking about the big weather event that is affecting much of the central US today and will affect the northeast US tomorrow. As of this morning there are winter weather watches/warnings spreading as far west as New Mexico, and as far east as Maine (there’s even a Tornado Watch in Louisiana!) And of course, nothing in the south east US

Bubbles!

Not just any bubbles, but frozen bubbles! This youtube video was taken last sunday on the summit of Mt Washington, where temps were at a balmy 33 degrees….BELOW ZERO! Now that’s what I’m talking about.

Oh the wonders of technology

Hey Everyone!

Just a quick update. Things are well down in Asheville North Carolina! But we can’t wait to return to New England for the holiday season!

I just wanted to point out the obvious… Technology is awesome!
How awesome? This entire post was made on my iPod touch!

While this concept is years old, I still think we have gone far in the past 10 years and can’t wait to see what’s ahead.

What’s ahead for tonight? COLD! Look at the ASOS station from Asheville:

Again. All done on the iPod :)

End of Summer? I THINK NOT

I overheard someone last week that said the following:

“I am so excited to see this fall weather”

I was so upset to hear this, because the south just doesn’t understand what fall really is. Technically speaking there are 3 different versions to the start of fall:

  1. Meteorological Fall:  September 1st, 2010 at 12:00 am
  2. Autumnal Equinox:  September 22nd, 2010 at 11:09 pm
  3. MY VERSION: High does not go above 69.9 and/or Low does not go above 39.9

And according to me: Fall has not arrived yet, even though the Autumnal Equinox is later tonight. Take a look at the forecast temperatures in Asheville:

Some of the high temps are in the 80′s and almost even 90′s!!! In my world, it’s still summer.
