Wikipedia Around the World

This is a really neat video about Wikipedia and its reach and use around the world, in different languages. What a neat time in our history where human knowledge continues to take leaps and bounds toward being free for all people of the world...

Family Vacation in Dallas

Jennie and Mac and I are now back to our normal schedules following a week of vacation. We packed up in Richard and Cherrie's Nissan Armada SUV and headed toward the Lone Star State for some much-needed time away.

As many of you know, we had originally planned on driving to Princeton, New Jersey; when those plans fell apart, the much shorter, much less daunting trip to Dallas was invented. I had worried about Mac's ability to sit in a child car seat for long periods of time, so a 4 hour or so trip sounded more doable than a 20-hour one. As it turns out, my worries were unfounded — Mac did great. We had to make a few stops in our traveling to stretch the little legs, but that was expected. I am very proud of her.

We stayed in Denton, just north of Dallas and Fort Worth. In Denton, we stopped into a Circuit City and did something really great for the health of our marriage — we bought a Garmin StreetPilot c550 GPS. This thing suctions to your windshield and tells you turn-by-turn how to get to your destination. It made the rest of our driving time mostly enjoyable!

In Dallas, we visited Dealey Plaza, where president John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, nearly 2 decades before Jennie and I were born. On the sixth floor of the nearby Texas School Book Depository building, where assassin Lee Harvey Oswald perched and shot JFK, there is a museum that walks you through the entire set of events and even explains the different conspiracy theories. Jennie and I learned a lot about this very sad day in our nation's history.

Of course, we did some shopping in Dallas and Denton. Jennie had to make her stop at the Container Store. We also ate at the Cheesecake Factory. Yes, we're aware there is now one in Tulsa, but it seems every time we happen by that place, the line is stacked right on out to 71st street; the one in Dallas wasn't nearly that busy for whatever reason.

On our way back home, we stopped in Oklahoma City to visit the Bombing Memorial there. It was very heartwarming and sad at the same time to see the things people have placed on the chain link fence in memory of loved ones.

We took a few photos (though not as many as I should have), like this one:



We also created a little video (mostly of driving) so we could remember Mac's first out of state trip:

All in all, this was one of the best vacations ever — probably because our little family is 50% larger now. Though Mac won't remember any of the trip, the bonding that took place during that week of us together on the road is irreplaceable.

Sesame Street

Sesame Street has been around for about 40 years or so, and every modern generation has some memory of watching it as a child, unless you lived under a rock. Thanks to this list of 10 Sesame Street Scenes I Miss the Most, we get to take a little trip down memory lane. I believe these clips must have all been from the 80s or maybe early 90s, because I remember most of them. Here's my favorite:

And Now... Something Gross

This is for all my friends and family who continue to light up...

Best Wedding Video

Our friends, the Bests, got married back in April, and this is some video of that. We were only filming because we had a camera handy -- little did we know that all of the Best's professional wedding photos would be lost in a hard drive crash. When I ran across the DVD of video footage the other day, I knew I just had to make some sort of montage. So here it is. I hope Dale and Lindsay like it.

How Lawmakers Vote

OK, I'm already on my second "holy crap" of the day. Check out this investigation of how lawmakers in Texas vote on important legislation.

Father's Day 2007

Best ever. Well, it's actually my first, but it rocked! It was better than my birthday. We went to see Pirates 3 yesterday, and today we went to Outback for dinner.

Dale & Lindsay made this video for me, and it's awesome:

We started yet another blog to keep up with our family videos we've been uploading to Google Video. So bookmark this link. Because you don't want to miss a second of the cutest little girl ever born!

This will be kinda boring for anyone but those who were there. I don't recommend watching this unless you have a few minutes to completely waste. ;-)

Here's a compilation of video and photos from Tracey's wedding. Think of it as the wedding in a couple minutes or less.
