Gabriels 1st day of work!


I had a spirtual day on 03/21/07 whereas my first born son came with me to work. Gabriel had no school as he was on spring vacation and I thought he might enjoy hanging with me and his uncle Jay at work.


We were wiring 16 cameras into a DVR (and multiplexor, to a matrix) which meant that all of this days work was in the UPC closet, so it was light work. Well we all had a blast!
Gabriel was not standing around, he worked! Handing cables, feeding cables, getting tools supplies etc. It was great!!


I worked early on in my years with my father (I wired my first light switch when I was 8!), and it felt great to keep up the tradition.


I thank my boss at Total Control Systems for allowing me to bring my boy, and the folks at JB Hunt for giving my boss the ok to bring my boy.


Thanks guys, it was a great day!

Me and my 360!




Happy Birthday to me!

On February 20 I celebrated my 40th birthday!

For such an event I requested a deserving gift. My Xbox 360!

I am so proud of Microsoft, and am so saddened for Sony (even tho I HATE Sony, I feel bad). MS came onto the gaming scene and totally stole Sony’s thunder in the console gaming scene. Many may say that Sony’s Play Station 3 is superior under the hood than my 360, and that may be true to a small degree. But when you take into consideration the development of Xbox Live (Xbox’s online community) the comparison ends.

I love my Xbox 360. It makes my PC cry.
