night away

My beautiful wife and I escaped town for a night for some rest and time together away from the suffering at work. We actually found a luxory hotel within an hour from our small town - Le Merigot in Evansville. It was very nice and we were treated excellent during our stay.



It had a very modern feel and a really neat bathroom setup with frosted glass and rainmaker shower that poured from directly above.



Several restaurants and pubs were within walking distance in a part of town called The District.



It was such a nice time that we plan on making this a regular and frequent experience for us.

my 3 red rings of death

It finally happened to me - funny since I believed I was immune after all this time. The other day as Halo Wars was loading up with another new co-op mission with a good friend I saw this...



Being very well educated in the specifics of the Xbox 360 hardware I knew that I would need a new box while this one went for warranty repair. This box was one of the early ones - not a release 360 - but a very early 2006 model.

I hopped in the car and ran to Walmart to solve my problem with a Resident Evil Red Xbox 360. Back to glorious gaming in no time - and now with the new faster and quieter GPU/CPU combo (code-named Jasper), a spacious 120 GB hard drive, and gorgeous HDMI.

Ironically enough I was able to "repair" my original 360 through a forced over-heating and have had no errors since. Still this was perfect timing for the new motherboards and now all is well in Xibalba's Theatre.

Mobile Blogging Part II

So I bought another new blogging app on the iPhone called Blogpress that can incorporate photos and this will be the first test post.

Here is a photo from my iPhone that I used another iPhone app called ColorSplash to create. It allows you to add or remove color to any photo quite easily to create impressive effects.



The above photo was taken at my favorite place on earth - the Tommyknocker Brewery in Idaho Springs, CO. I always enjoy a sampler of their majestic brews everytime I find myself near Denver.

God Bless American Brewing!

Mobile Blogging

So I just downloaded a free blogging program for the iPhone to test out if I can post more regularly by doing it on the fly - we will see and only time will tell. This free version will not allow me to post pictures and so I must commit soon to purchase a version that will allow me to share photos.

I have been spending more time recently on Twitter and enjoy more of the anonyminity to share rather than Facebook. Being a physician in a small town really limits certain personal freedoms and thus this is one area I must protect.

Until I post again...
