As I mentioned in an earlier post, Tim Storms is the current world record holder for lowest vocal note. I found a clip of him singing “Amazing Grace” with the group “Rescue”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFbjtmubBFQ The lowest note he sings in that clip is the lowest C on a piano (C1), approximately 32Hz. That’s over an octave […]

Travel issues
This week I’m traveling on business to the lovely state of Alabama to do some testing of our software in the field. Right now it’s almost 10pm, and I’m going to bed soon, having been awake for the last 40 hours, not counting a 45 minute nap. Let’s just say, the travel didn’t go as […]
Proof that I’m lame
Here it is New Years and we’re sitting alone at home, having a snack and watching New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, so this post is proof that we’re lame. In fairness, we did have an invitation to a party out of town, but that wouldn’t be very fair to Evan. If he doesn’t get his nap […]
Door surfing
Tonight at 7pm, right after we got home, there was a knock on the door. It was the girl from across the street, whom we hadn’t really met before, asking to use the phone. She’d gone out to walk the dog she was taking care of and discovered her apartment door wouldn’t open with her […]
Out of gas…
Yesterday we were around town and decided to test drive a full-size truck, just to see what it was like. Our salesperson was a young lady who’d only been on the job a couple of weeks. She came out to meet us in the lot and let us take one for a spin by ourselves. […]
The Christmas (shopping) Spirit!
I’ve always been under the impression that Christmas, regardless of your religious affiliation, was a time of giving and goodwill toward your fellow man. Whereas Christmas might bring out the best in people, Christmas shopping certainly must bring out the worst. In an attempt to get past some of the incidents of this Christmas shopping […]
If only I had a camera…
This afternoon was the last performance of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” for the season, so Evan and I hung out backstage while Dusty was getting ready. Evan got to meet most of the cast and run around a bit, but his favorite element was the group of cloggers (ladies ranging from teenagers to […]
That dammed ice
Last week we had a quick ice storm come through, followed by about a foot of snow. In the area there have been a few roofs collapsing under the heavy snow and some businesses temporarily closed for fear of the same. On the north side of our roof we have two separate rooflines, and a […]
Snow day, and rationalization of 4WD!
For those of you outside the midwest, last night a winter storm came through and dumped ice then snow on us. Though the conditioned varied depending on where you were, we have about 12-16 inches of snow here. When I got up this morning, it was still snowing and blowing pretty hard. I got phone […]
A new Wiggle
Today in a press conference, Greg Page, known to parents and toddlers around the world as the yellow-shirt-wearing Wiggle, announced that he is quitting the group due to a recently diagnosed chronic health problem. Evan is a HUGE fan of the Wiggles. For those of you without Cheerios ground into your carpet, the Wiggles are […]
