Bye Bye, Went the Tank Healer Guy

So, a while back I posted words of a parody that I had written to "American Pie". I finally got the music done, and uploaded the video to youtube.

Enjoy, and leave feedback!

Mobile Apps: Stick Swing

I was just told about this game for your mobile device, called "Stick Swing". Its name is really descriptive; the goal is to swing your stick figure from platform to platform. Landing closer to the middle gets you more points. As you swing, the platforms get smaller and smaller. You also eventually have to contend with various wind directions/speeds, and even gravity speed/direction (A down arrow means you fall faster, and up arrow means you float more).

I played this game for about 30 minutes the first time I ever tried it out.

My high score so far is 15900. See if you can beat me! If so, post here.

Save the Planet?

So, the local commissary on the military post where I live has decided to "go green" by no longer allowing their grocery bagging crew to double bag items. I totally get this. Don't use as much plastic, there's not as much to get rid of / recycle. Everyone wins.

They also have those green cloth reusable bags that you can buy. In the face of no double bagging, and also wanting to help do my part to conserve resources and not pollute, me and my wife have been buying a few of those bags each time we go to the store. Eventually we will be completely without plastic bags at all.

Imagine my surprise when I got to the car after our last grocery trip to find not only were some of my groceries double bagged, but the three green "eco-friendly" bags we had bought were nicely and neatly wrapped in plastic bags for us.

You do the math.
