I was forced to take a little time off from blogging to fix my computers. Both my laptop and desktop where infected with viruses from my wife’s camera and from facebook.
I will take some time this weekend and get my blog updated.

I have uploaded a new image on my banner. This is the first of a couple upgrades that will happen to my theme. Thanks to my themes creator BillH at benched42.net.

Junior linebacker Jacody Coleman announced yesterday he will be transferring and leaving the Hawkeye Football team for personal reasons.
Junior offensive guard Julian Vandervelde undergone surgery and could possibly miss or be very limited the first part of the 2009 season from the surgery.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July. I hope yours is a dry 4th with not rain.

Happy Father’s Day to all of the dad’s out there. This is our day today so enjoy it.

Have a happy and safe 2009.

I’m planning on doing some grilling today. What are you doing today to celebrate Labor Day and the last official day of summer?

As of September 1st, I will not be supporting Stat Traq anymore. This is due to a couple of reasons. The first reason is that my family comes first over the internet. I like to code, but I love spending time with my family.
The other reason is that I don’t get any donations for the effort that I spend maintaining this plugin. I took on this plugin because I thought it would be a challenge to make it a better plugin and a better statistic tracker for wordpress.
I will reconsider supporting Stat Traq if I start receiving some donations for my effort on it and if I start getting some free time to work with it this fall. If someone else would like to start maintaining it, you are welcome to it. If you do start maintaining it, please send me an email so I can tell everyone where to get it from.

I was out mowing my backyard yesterday and I run across a little snake. I really mean run across. I was suprised that I didn’t hurt it. So I decided to catch it and show it to my 5 year old son who is interested in things like this. After catching the snake, it decided to throw up a part of a worm so it could be faster and try to get away from me. Here is a couple pictures of the snake I caught and the size compareison to the worm it thrown up.

After I showed my son and finish mowing my backyard, I decided to turn the snake loose by my fence. This way the snake can catch some of the spiders that I have around my house.

This is the first time since 2006 that a I got Iowa Hawkeyes Football tickets to see them in Iowa City. Last year I didn’t have a chance to get tickets because the tickets sold out before I had a chance to get them. Tickets are hard to buy since Iowa had the two 10 win seasons a few years ago.

I get to go to the Homecoming game this year. The Friday night before is the homecoming parade and activities that is part of homecoming week. Iowa City is a blast during this week of activities. Now I just need to have a babysitter for my kids.
