For those interested, you can actually watch a couple of episodes of Storm Hawks on the Cartoon Network website. Click Here.

For Coleman (Ok... for me too...) there's no question. Storm Hawks rule. Ok, So what's so great about it? Let's see. Sky Knights. Motorcycles that turn into jets and helicopters. Flaming power swords. Cool battles. Comedy. Good kicking Evil's buttocks. Get the picture, or shall I continue? I'd say, one of the best traits of the show is how 4yr old friendly the show is. Most of the

Seems this is the most popular subject to arise from my previous announcement of intent to run for President, so it's a good place to begin revealing my platform and positions on various subjects. The question with appointments invariably boils down to the issue of nepotism/cronyism. Will I, as President of these United States of America fill positions in the Federal Government with my friends

So now Google thinks I'm a no good, dirty, rotten, low down spammer and have locked my account from sending. I sent the announcement about the previous post to everyone in my contact list, generating a lot of those "address not found" replies from all of the dead email addresses. Opps. So all of you who have written me back, I promise I've actually written a response (to some of you) but I can

So. Here it is. The day has finally arrived. I'm 35. Most people don't count 35 among the milestones of birthdays. 16 you drive. 18 you vote. 21 you drink (legally speaking.) 25 you pay less for car insurance. These are then followed by the succession of '0 birthdays to mark the remaining decades of our lives. These are the typical recognized demarcations of the American individual. Me

Today I got my first paycheck since my annual performance review. You'd think I'd be happy. Ok, so I am... but this is just ridiculous : Increase in hourly rate : 4% Increase in federal deductions : 4.5%Figures.

I was reading the Instapundit this morning, as usual, when I ran across a link to photographs of the current Manhattan skyline by Ann Althouse. I wrote this song shortly after 9/11/01, trying to capture what the country, the people as a whole, might have been feeling at that time. I wonder what kind of song I would write about the way we feel now? Uncertain Skyline light wave particles

If anyone out there in cyberland wants to show much how much they love me, you could do so my sending me one of these. If you just really like me, you could show it by sending me one of these, instead... Either way, I'd be grateful to receive your affection.

I have a bad habit of picking up any new flavor of gum or hard candy that doesn't say "mint" anywhere in the description... I had a severe addiction to Altoid Sours for awhile and still have the empty metal tins to prove it. Today, in the Mart of Wal, I ran across a new cinnamon gum from Wrigley's called "Flare" which sports the tag line "... a warming cinnamon". It also sports some of the

Where I Have Lived I've posted a list of Google Map links to all of the places I've lived, but now, Google has made it possible to create custom maps with points of intrest. One day, I'll update this one with more interesting info, like all of the schools I attended, pools I used to swim at, vacation spots, and other locations of non-interesting facts. Not sure if this project is the

Andrew Osenga has put out a web-only, freely downloadable EP. The songs all came from suggestions from his blog readers and was done in just a few days. It even comes with it's own little cd-insert booklet. I's well worth the time to download...

Dear frinds, If I ever... I mean ever catch any one of you spending money to do this (or this) to your children I promise I will, as a good Christian friend and with all the love of Jesus within me, beat you about the neck and head. You have been warned. Have a lovely rest of your day.

For those of you who don't know, Jennifer has been updating photos of Coleman on her Picasa Web Album. She's added a lot of photos from our (mostly their, since I'm back home) current trip to the beach. Of course, you maybe asking yourself: "I wonder what Shane's doing with these few days of bachelorhood?" Oh... Exciting stuff like laying a pallet of new sod in the backyard and watching lots

ok... so if you've been a reader here for very long (well... long ago...) then you know i pretty much stick to an apolitical script. this is not one of those days... and i know it's very early, but of all those who are running or might run for president of these great united states, i've already picked my horse for the race. if you're interested in who and why, check out this video. or, for

evidently, to be a snake charmer, you must start very young. ok... fine. but if you can't even walk yet? yeesh... but that's not the worst part, actually. here's the article from the daily mail. see if you spot the sentence that is the most outragious piece of imbicility to be run in a news paper since the last... well... since yesterday's edition. baby vs. snake and people side with who?!?

A Chilling Photograph's Hidden History (from the wall street journal online) these are the types of photos that will have you hating yourself for admiring. they will both inspire you and make you wish you'd never seen them at the same time. the main one is very much the essence of photojournalism: capturing in one single frame the sum total of an entire event in history. it's a long article
