  • My next camcorder

    So I have had a Canon DV camcorder for almost 7 years now. I have been tempted a few times to upgrade, but Sony may have finally come up the one that has the two features I am looking for: HD and HD ;-). There is no way I would upgrade to a camera that…

  • Smash-em up

    A few of us from work made our way to the Kenton County Fair last night to see the demolition derby.  Nothing better than seeing a bunch of grown men and women crash in to each other in beater cars from the 70s and 80s.  There were a total of 5 rounds and the ultimate…

  • Finally migrated all posts over from my old COREBlog site

    Well, I finally was able to get all of my COREBlog entries from that machine and system into my new WordPress Site.  It only took me 9 months.  In the early days I was retyping each entry, but then I figured out that I could use the MT import feature in WP to suck in…

  • Moving URLs

    Well I finally took the plunge and moved my website from the Dynamic Domain Name Service that I had been using – TZO to a full fledged top level domain: chriskelley.org. I used Go Daddy to buy my domain (I guess all those adds on Geek News Central and Gillmor Gang finally got to me!)…

  • Taking a break for a few weeks…

    …I bought an X-BOX 360 over the weekend. Just couldn’t resist anymore. Was in Best Buy over the weekend and saw a few premiums just sitting on the shelf. Only have one game, Project Gotham Racing, but so far it is definitely a step up from my PS2. It’s so good it’s making me want…

  • Microsoft WPC Day 1 – not much to report

    Arrived in Boston this morning for my 4th Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. The trip up was uneventful except for running into the Dad on one of Kendall’s classmates at school…who was piloting our plane! Headed to the Hotel (the very nice Westin Waterfront) and had a few conference calls to attend to. After those were…

  • Fininshed the treehouse

    Well the treehouse I promised to Mason on his birthday is finally done. I spent the good part of 4 days over the 4th of July Holiday working on it, but it is done and I think both he and Kendall really like it. It’s just on the edge of being too high at 14′…

  • New plugin for WordPress

    Just got this new plugin for wordpress that helps create links in posts. It creates a new tag that you can use to auto link text to gada.be searches. One thing I have been trying to figure out is how to link more in my posts. This should help me in that.

  • 10 days on the road

    Ending up June with a bang.  Have been on the road for a week and have 3 more days to go.  It hasn’t been all business though.  Started off last Monday in NYC for 3 days of our annual analyst meeting.  I was a little worried because we were so relaxed going in without the…
