Alltel’s “Roller Coaster” Commercial Tasteless & Irresponsible

Let’s face it – there are a lot of commercials on television that are just plain irresponsible as well as tasteless. One example – the numerous car commercials that show reckless and dangerous driving but then contain the very fine print “professional driver; closed course.” Or how about the cell phone commercial (think it was Alltel) where the woman cuts down telephone utility poles with a chainsaw (vandalism)?

For Sale: Marshall AVT 275 2×12 Combo Guitar Amplifier

I recently purchased a Vox Custom Classic AC15CC1 Guitar Amp so the Marshall Guitar Amp I’ve been using for the last several years has to go. Because I’m running POD XT Live effects, I no longer need the four channels as well as all the effects that the Marshall amplifier offers. So she’s up for sale.

If you are looking for a 150 watt Marshall Combo amp, this is your chance to get one at about two-thirds of what you’d pay for it brand new.

Our First Hot Air Balloon Ride

In celebration of our 18th wedding anniversary, Irma and myself decided to do something we had both desired to accomplish for some time – to ride in a hot air balloon. We did just that this last Monday where we reached heights of up to 4,300 feet and lows just above the rooftops of Anthem homes.

Magnificent Cover of U2’s “Magnificent”

I just love the song “Magnificent” of U2’s new album, No Line on the Horizon. That is why I was thrilled to come across this very well done cover of the song done in “acoustic style.” It is really phenomenal that the guitarist can play and sing the song at the same time.

It appears from the URL that is included in video that the trio is a band from Brazil called “Lunares.”

Happy Resurrection Day!

Happy Easter or as I like to refer to it, “Resurrection Day.” Because Jesus Christ was crucified (died) and rose again from the dead (resurrected), I too was able to die to my old sinful nature and now live in Him!

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid ; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. “He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.”

Matthew 28:5-6

World’s Largest Model Train Display – Miniatur Wunderland

Words really cannot describe the world’s largest model train display – Miniatur Wunderland, located in Hamburg Germany. Although the exhibit features over 800 trains pulling over 10,000 railway cars, which is impressive in and of itself, Miniatur Wunderland is much more then a model train display. It is in fact a virtual world in and of itself representing scenes throughout the world.

A Week of U2 on David Letterman Show

I like the Letterman show and watch it from time to time, especially if there is a guest on that I want to see. I don’t think I have ever watched the show religiously for a week straight. Last week was an exception because one of my favorite bands, U2, appeared on the show every night.

San Francisco / Bay Area in Two Days

Irma and myself have made it an annual event to visit San Francisco and the Bay Area annually in conjunction with Search Marketing Expo and Search Engine Strategies conferences that are held in the San Jose area.

Typically we take 3-4 days after the conference and head up the 101 to San Francisco as well as Napa and/or Sonoma Counties. Most recently, we decided to do the “vacation” portion of our trip first and limited it to just two days.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Just wanted to take some quick time out here to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I’ll be spending mine at home with family although we are itching to get up to Flagstaff to see some snow.

I’m To Be Honored Next Year At The Magic Kingdom

Don’t know if it is due to the fact that I write about Disney stuff at Disney-O-Rama or simply because Disney Parks bring such joy to me but the Magic Kingdom is honoring me next year throughout the park. Don’t believe me? Well just watch the video below to see for yourself.
