Can't think if anything interesting today, so here is a random pic from my hard drive:
It looks like a chili-cheese-jalepeno-onion hot dog from 7-11... a late night masterpiece created by yours truly. Dated May 31, 2006.

The Fun of Blogs and Personal Websites
8/04/2006
I've been nerding out with this website for almost 7 years now, but I've really enjoyed watching the recent blog popularity explosion catch up to my friends. Over the last two years, almost all of my friends have entered the online publishing world, either with blogs, personal websites or even business sites. If you include MySpace profiles, it probably has reached 95% of my friends.In fact, the final holdout is my own wife, although I did get her to blog on this site once.
I think most my blogging friends have discovered that it is difficult to write something interesting on a weekly basis. Personally, I get around this hurdle by writing about something whether it is interesting or not. Sucks for you, but at least it gives people a reason to check my site on a regular basis.
Anyway, the whole point is to get you to check out some of my friends' websites when you get a chance.

OC Secret Spot - Redwood Forest
8/02/2006
Believe it or not, there are a few secret spots in Orange County where you can get away from it all for a few minutes and pretend that you're somewhere else. The hidden redwood forest burried in a Yorba Linda canyon is one of those places.
It's hidden way in the back of Carbon Canyon park. Head towards the big dam and you'll find it. These Coast Redwoods were planted 30 years ago. You have to walk quite a ways to get here, so you're usually all alone. It gives off that dark, creepy vibe even in the middle of a sunny day.
