    I thought we had bad tornadoes

    Author: Casey | Posted in: Random Thoughts

    I found this site with some pictures of tornadoes and other interesting weather phenomenon. I thought this would be a timely post, considering we are right in the middle of tornado season. Hopefully we won’t get any bad storms this year, like we did a couple of summers ago.

    TGIF!!

    My Music Tastes

    Author: Casey | Posted in: Tech

    I stumbled across a very cool little plugin yesterday: Audioscrobbler. This little service will send your music playing history to Audioscrobbler’s servers, so that other people can see what you’re listening to at any given moment. They have plugins for just about every audio player out there, including my music player of choice: iTunes)

    I’ve also found another site that will allow you to put your currently playing track on your blog/website. I am constantly listening to music while at work, so this is a pretty neat little tool for me. I hope everyone enjoys it, and let me know if you sign up so I can see what you’re listening to!!

    Uplifting Weekend

    Crawdad at the creek

    Our Promise Keepers trip this past weekend was great! It’s always an uplifting experience to worship with 20,000 men.

    We also had a little free time to play around on the farm. We swam in the creek, caught some crawdads, rode four-wheelers, and ate good food. We had a great time, but I just wish it were longer…

    Promise Keepers 2005

    Author: Casey | Posted in: Spiritual

    Tomorrow morning Billy, Allan, and I are driving up to a Promise Keepers conference. I’m pretty excited about going, even though I went to a Promise Keepers conference in Dallas a few years ago.

    There’s just something about being in a stadium with thousands of other men who, just like you, are committed to being better. Not only committed to being better fathers and husbands, but more faithful believers and stronger leaders.

    I’m also excited because I get to go see my parents and a lot of my other family that lives in the area where the conference will be held. They all live up on a farm, so we might get to do some four-wheeling and other fun stuff. I can’t wait!

    Hard work finally pays off!

    Author: Casey | Posted in: Work Life

    The new Grace Chapel church of Christ website has finally gone live! This marks the end of a lot of hard work and many hours spent tweaking the site to get it just right.

    Of all the sites I’ve developed, I’m most proud of this one. I really feel like my design and programming skills were best utilized on this project.

    We did run into a few problems with our first hosting choice, ReadySetConnect. We had originally planned to go live on Friday, but due to a networking mix-up courtesy of ReadySetConnect, our site did not display once we transferred the domain name over. So, I spent all weekend trying to get in touch with someone from their support staff, with no success. They, without a doubt, have the WORST technical support I’ve ever seen. As of this post, I still have not heard back from them since Friday. So, we switched hosting companies and everything worked like a charm!

    If you’re looking for a website hosting company, I would steer clear of ReadySetConnect…

    Xbox 360 Specs Video

    Author: Casey | Posted in: Tech

    I’m sure most of you have heard about the new Xbox 360 that will be coming out sometime this year (maybe by Thanksgiving?). I stumbled across this video today and it cleared up some of the fuzziness surrounding the Xbox 360′s specs.

    I’m not much of a gamer, but I do like to keep up with the newest technology that’s out there. I’m always interested in the latest news regarding any kind of gadget. For all of you who are gamers out there, which do you think you’ll buy: the PS3 or the Xbox 360? Let me know in the comments…
