    July 28, 2023 - By

    What I Watched on YouTube on the Regular (Spring 22)

    April 10, 2022 - By 

    In 2021, I did quarterly posts about the channels I had been watching. Fall 2020 |  Summer 2021 |  Winter/Spring 2021 |  Fall 2021 I found there’s a core set of channels I watch on a regular basis. As soon as a new video comes out, I watch it.

I think at the beginning of each TV season, I’ll do an entire rundown of everything and the other months will be just what has been added or if quit something mid-season I’ll share that.

    Watching & Listening – January 2022

    February 9, 2022 - By 

    I have always just included a list of shows/movies/podcasts/music that we enjoy on my end of month summary posts. However, this year I decided to break it out into its own post like many other bloggers do. This post took WAY too long to put together, that’s why its so late getting posted. I’m not sure I love the organization of it, so I might change that up for next month. I was thinking of grouping shows by network maybe… Yes, we watch a ton of TV, but its our favorite thing to do. It helps that we watch everything…

    I promised a while back that I would write a post about my favorite YouTube channels that I’m currently watching. I don’t know if you’ve embraced YouTube yet. I know I only watched YouTube for how to videos until maybe 3 years ago. I go through phases where regular TV just gets old and YouTube always has something new and current about any topic you can imagine. I enjoy YouTube channels of all sorts. My kids think I’m weird because some of the stuff I watch, but I really enjoy it. I think the main reason I like every channel…

    Tran-Siberian Orchestra Concert

    December 3, 2011 - By 

    Last night Rob, Drew, and I had a date night in Atlanta to see Tran-Siberian Orchestra. If you’ve never heard of them, you actually probably have heard a song or two of theirs, but don’t let the name fool you. They are not an orchestra, but an amazingly talented rock band that utilizes strings, polished vocal talent, and narration, along with a spectacular laser and pyrotechnics show. It was an amazing show, one of the best all-around performances I’ve ever seen. Great quality, sounds, lights, and pyro. See the Setlist here.

    Steve Jobs 1955-2011

    October 5, 2011 - By 

    There are so many things that I’m struck by that I want to write about, but the words just don’t come to me or if they do they don’t make any sense. This time, I don’t care. I’m just in complete disbelief that Steve Jobs, the founder and creative genius of Apple Computers has passed away. He always said, “if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.” He wrote is resignation letter on August. 24,…

    With it being summer our TV watching shifts. We go into summer mode. In previous summers, Rob and I would stay up late after the kids went to bed watching movies or reruns of 24. This year, we’re not able to do that since I’m working in the evenings. So we catch up on his lunch hour, my dinner hour, and the weekends. Here’s what we’re watching this summer: Flashpoint When we started watching Flashpoint, I totally thought this was a new series until I was talking to coworker about this show and he made me realize it’s not and…
