So I recently did a 25 things list on Facebook.  Here it is.

1. When I was young I was climbing a tree and a limb snapped and I fell.  My cutoff jean shorts caught on the branch stub and I dangled upside down about 10 feet off the ground and was crying while my brother and a neighbor stood there laughing.  I will never forget that.

2. I often long for the camraderie I had during my dorm days at North Georgia and the military setting in general.

3. Every night I say I am going to bed early and get more sleep.  I never do.

4. I have 2 sons, Conner and Cameron, I love them dearly and would like to have more kids.  In fact, I want as many as time and money will allow.

5. Tennessee Vols are my passion and I sometimes wish I had chosen to go to college there.  However, I loved my time in Dahlonega and wouldn’t change it for the world.

6. I am a professional web developer.  But, I would love to have a job that allowed me more time outside, especially in the summer.

7. I have a very eclectic music taste.  You are just as likely to hear me listening to Hip Hop as Country.  Lately my guilty music pleasure has been Britany Spears.

8. Kristin and I were married in the Little Church of the West in Las Vegas.  We had a blast and actually saved money going there.

9. If I could choose a skill to instantly be an expert at it would be playing guitar.  I would love to be able to sit around a campfire with some friends picking guitar.  I have been practicing but will probably never have the time or ability to be as good as I would like to be.

10. I have been going to the gym a lot lately.  I logged 187 visits last year.  I am hoping to break 200 this year.  I’m still not in good shape though.  Maybe I should try harder.

11. I run about 5 active websites and own about 20 domains.  I do not have enough time to give any of them the time they require, so most of them are not very busy.

12. My biggest concern about moving out of the country would be that I wouldn’t get to enjoy SEC football in the fall.

13. I love to camp and can’t wait for the boys to get old enough that I can take off for the weekend with them to go camping.

14. The best peanuts in the world are served at the Chattanooga Lookouts ballgames.  Watching the games and having a hot dog, peanuts, and beer is one of my favorite springtime activities.

15. I am addicted to Carmex and wish they would bring back the old glass containers.  I may even send them an email.

16. One time in high school I was jumping off the cliff at high falls with a bunch of friends and we were challenged by some guys at from another high school to go jump off the bridge going over the Tennessee River at Stevenson, AL.  I did.  After climbing up on the bridge if I hadn’t jumped I would have probably fallen I was shaking so badly.

17. Though I do not consider myself a Star Wars geek, I have read about 10 of the books.  Lately, I have sworn off fiction for non-fiction and technical books.  One of my personal favorites is ‘The Innocent Man’ by John Grisham.  I do hope to get back to reading some fantasy books at some point.

18. Even after I had fulfilled my requirements for a Math minor, I took an upper level math course, Chaos Theory, for the sheer joy of learning it.

19. I do not download illegal songs or software anymore.  I decided that it would be hard to justify to my kids that I could steal music but they couldn’t steal a candy bar.

20. I may be a huge Tennessee fan, but I stormed the field at an Auburn game in 2001.  They were playing #1 ranked Florida and beat them on a last second field goal.  This was back when all UT fans hated Spurrier with a passion.  Surprisingly, I have been to 3 games at Jordan-Hare stadium and have seen them play 3 different teams (UF 2001, UGA 2004, UT 2008).  I have never been to an Auburn game where they lost.  Still don’t care for them though.

21. Twitter is my latest obsession.  I am by no means a celebrity gawker but think it is fascinating that I can receive text messages from celebrities.  So long as they are ‘real’ and not marketing ploys.  I suggest @THE_REAL_SHAQ and @mrskutcher (Demi Moore).

22. A few of my favorite shows (in order): How I Met Your Mother, Friday Night Lights, Lost, The Office, Scrubs, and Chuck.

23. I slept through most of my classes in high school.  I think my teachers actually preferred it.  I only slept through some of my classes in college.  But that was due to a lack of sleep more than apathy I think.

24. Most Thursdays I go to Glen Gene Deli.  I have been doing this for about 4 years now.  I have never had anything from there except the Chicken Teriyaki sandwich.

25. It took me about 4 days to make this list.  Things like this come to me at the oddest times.  Like when I am driving down the road, or sitting on the pot.  So I have to remember them and jot them down later.

Cameron has always enjoyed watching me play Mario Kart.  So, the other night I figured I would give him a shot at it.  I was really surprised that he kinda understood what to do.   Too bad the controller is to big for his hands.  I decided to take some video and share it.  It was hastily put together so pay no attention to continuity / duplicate shot issues.  Particularly ones involving Kristin changing Conner in the background.  I am not a professional!

A slight departure from the norm…

I decided to revisit a project I had worked on for fun last year and post it to the blog.  Basically, it will show you a screen grab from ESPN when the page is loaded.  Useless, geeky, and totally awesome.  I could tell you how it works, but where’s the fun in that?

I got a Sony HDR-SR10 video camera in August prior to Cameron’s birthday.  I used it for his birthday, then put it away for a while.  One day I got home, realized that I had not done anything cool with the camera.  So I went out and shot him riding around in his little car.  Nothing special, just messing around.  I found it recently and decided to put some music to it and post it on vimeo.  Be sure and check it out in HD.  Enjoy!

I took some video of Cameron playing with his new basketball goal he got for Christmas and made a clip.  These were shot using my Sony HDR-SR10 in Slow Motion mode.  I am very happy with the results and love this camera! I am not sure why it is not in HD, I may need to render it again.
