I got sent a like to this today on YouTube. , it’s the game highlights of the Boxing day fixture of Woking hosting Farnborough Town. It’s not the beautiful game at it’s finest, but pretty typical of non-league football in England.
Midnight Lights
I got sent a link to Joshua Mayers Sounders FC blog (excelent reading by the way) and this video. It was done at Century Link Field (also known as Royal Brougham Park) by Bodega Studios. I thought it was rather cool and interesting. The high res version is here at Bodega Studios
A day playing in the snow with my Land Rover…
It all started a few days ago, the plan was that would meet in a little town up in the mountains at 8 for breakfast and we would go from there. Of course Carey could not remember the name of the restaurant. But Gold Bar is a little town, how tough was it going to be to spot a place with a bunch of Land…
What was on my bedside cabinet this year?
It’s no secret the last three years has seen some quite astounding emotional churn and coming out the other side I’ve done so much to help myself. Some of what I did turned out to be a great idea, getting the courage to leave a bad relationship tops that list. While others… Let’s just say they were not so brilliant. I’ll be talking about both…
View from the kitchen – Part Deux
So this is what the view from the kitchen looks like after another 6 or 7 inches of snow… Tweet
View from the kitchen
Not only would that be a good foodie blog title, but this is what Snowmagedon 2012 looks like from my kitchen window after an additional couple of inches of snow. It’s been fun, power sliding the Land Rover was a blast (“just a dab of oppo”), but it can melt now… I know that for my friends in Vermont this is but a slight dusting,…
And the 2012 F1 Season…
2011 was a good year for F1, the stats are excelent, more over taking thanks to a combination of aero changes, the Drag-Reduction-System (DRS), the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) and the tires that gave tremendous grip, for a while. But it could have been more competitive. Perhaps we were just spoiled by maybe the best championship in the history of the sport in 2010….
CES and how the real world uses Social Media
I’ve talked a couple of times about the small insight I’ve had into the whole “social media thing”, really as an outsider getting peak behind the curtain. Part of tonight’s dinner discussion turned into the use of location services. It seems only about a quarter of smart phone regularly use a location based application (Yelp, Google, Vegas Mate and so on) to get recommendations based…
Sounders schedule anounced, and I like it!
The 2012 MLS schedule was published this morning. A couple of nice surprises, a little disappointment, but over all I think it’s a good schedule for Seattle. Prior to the MLS schedule we have the Champions League quarter final home and away legs. That has the potential to really open the season up in a big way. Win over the two games and it’s into…
The mandatory looking forward blog post…
At this time of the year people look forwards, take stock on where they are, think about what the future holds and the direction they would like to go. I’ve been going through this process over the last couple of years and have made some huge, positive changes in my life. This year I did something different, rather than my plans for next year, I’d…
