Better Than Crabs

Green Bay trip number two is starting to be planned.

Currently we’re looking at the September  23rd game against the Chargers.  The All Pro package is already sold out (the one we went on last year) but there is a new package called Pro Player which is similar but drops some of the other little things.

If the Chargers game sells out shortly or if something else comes up we’re aiming for the October 7th game against the Bears.  This game’s atmosphere will probably be crazy because the Bears still suck (the Bears are probably Green Bay’s biggest rival).

Either way we’re looking at about $420-$450 CDN per person if four people go.  That includes two nights in hotel, the game, an all you can eat/drink tailgate party and some other things.

Let me know if you’re interested.  We’re probably going to book this one very shortly (next month or so) considering that the games seem to be selling out quickly this year.  The early ones that we want to go to anyway.

It’s been a long layoff from my History of a Camera posting project but I’m brining it back now. I’ve noticed I’ve been slow on the posting lately so hopefully this will provide some content in my mini down time at the moment. Enjoy.

Domino after our walk in the park on Sunday. The edges of the picture are blurred a bit as the lens was foggy.

After a long layoff from photography — 12 Musicians of Christmas was my last musical shoot if you’re playing a long at home — I finally made it out to a show again.

Above is Craig of Startlefish.  Above is also the only photo that really turned out.  What is the lesson learned?  Don’t take 3 and a half months off of photography.  Wow do you suck when you do that.

Anyway, enjoy the above photo as I’m not sure when I’ll get out again but hopefully soon.

I’d still love to do an art book if possible (funds) but an art show would also be killer.  Maybe even just some print sales.  Let me know if you’re intested in any of the above.

Just when I thought the Internet served all of its usefulness this gem happens across my eyes and ears today.

Super Mario Bros. Them with Lyrics (you’ll have to scroll down the page a bit for the English lyrics as it is sung in Japanese).

Oh Internet, you bring joy to all.

Today is Fozzie’s first birthday. He was the 9th pup born out of nine pups and we picked him out around 6 PM on this day as well.

Unfortunately he didn’t get to have a party but he did get a new Kong and is currently enjoying his first peanut butter filled Kong.

Basset hounds, you have to love them.

The past couple of days (maybe week) have been eventful to say the least.

I switched servers which took a whole lot longer than planned.

Crabs was killed on Sunday for the majority of the day. I accidentally deleted the live version by accident when I thought it was the test version. The better part to this story is I didn’t know I did it until I was informed by email with the question of “Where’d your blog go?”

I am possibly employed again.

Tomorrow (the 6th) is Fozzie’s 1st birthday.

Slopitch starts soon and we started meeting about it as well — it gives me headaches at times but I still like it.

And that’s about it. Back to real blogging shortly.

This is more of a region specific post so if you’re nowhere near the Sault just stop reading now.

Anyone in Sault Ste. Marie who doesn’t do their own taxes may I suggest DarC FasTax and Accounting.Ã? Jes and I just finished going to her for our returns this year with a total cost of $50.Ã? Last year I spent about $80 alone on mine.Ã? She will also try her best to get you a refund or get what you owe down as much as possible.

Also for those on the ball team she helped sponsor us when we were the “team the net built” a few years ago.

That’s it, that’s all.

If you do your own taxes good for you — I’m just too crazy to do it myself and like the benefit of someone knowing what they are doing.

It’s finally official.Ã? I am on the waiting list for Green Bay Packer season tickets.Ã? I have no clue why I didn’t ever sign up for it before but after attending the game this year and feeling the excitement around it I had to.

Me being slow at getting off the ground on things however delayed/forgot about signing up.Ã? After Brett Favre announced his comeback for next year I ventured back to the Packer’s site and decided to read up more on getting on the list.

After finding out there was no cost to go on the list I couldn’t resist.Ã? Today I received my confirmation in the mail and currently I am happily situated at number 73553 on the list of proud patient Packer fans.

You might think I’m crazy but considering my number will probably come up in 30-35 years it’s perfect timing for retirement and the slower part of life where I’m either making 8 trips to Green Bay every fall/winter or sitting at the mall.

DizzyTree has launched a new web application titled PlugMyEvent.� The application is an online event management tool in which you can create an event and send out email invites to all those invited.� If your event is a paid event such as a conference the site has PayPal integration built-in to allow you to receive payments with the invites as well.

It definitely seems like a unique tool and hopefully it will take off for them.
