Well, today I turn 23 years old.

For my birthday my family and I all went bowling which was fun.

On another note, two days ago my site also had a birthday. On October 6th my site turned 4 years old. Yep, I have been blogging on this site now for over 4 years and I am approaching 250 posts now. My site draws about 600 different (actual) people every month for a total of around 12000 hits per month. My site attracts about 30 different Google searches every month as well. Overall, I think these are really good numbers for a personal blog.

Well, today I took out my air conditioner. This may be the earliest I have ever removed it. I would sure like to know what happened to global warming though. We barely even really had a summer this year.

If this global freezing doesn’t come to an end we might enter the second ice age before long. I think I will go out and run my car for a couple hours.

Anyways, I have a bad feeling this might be a really bad winter this year.

Here is a video of Kaleb, my nephew, pulling himself up to a standing position for the first time. Well, might not be the first time, but its on the same day he did it for the first time. Its the first time on camera at least .

FYI: He is 8 months and 1 day old in this video.

Enjoy.

I saw this cool product on thinkgeek.com. It was a stealth flash drive made to look like a old, cut, junk USB cable. It was 2GB in size and was selling for $30. I thought to myself, I want one. Then I thought, I could make this myself.

First I found an old USB cable then cut the cord on it around the middle. I then carefully used a pocket knife to cut down the sides of the connector. I then expanded the metal connector casing on it and removed the old USB connector. I then took apart my flash drive to be sacrificed for this project. Here is a picture of the flash drive I used:

I simply opened it up and removed the small flash drive from it. I then put this inside the connector on the USB cable I cut and opened up earlier. I securely attached it via super glue. I then put the sides back together with super glue also.

After that I cut the cut cable down a little bit to be around 4 inches long. I stripped the cable exposing the inner wires and I was done. Here is a picture of the finished product:

And here is an image of it in action plugged into my computer:

As you can see it looks like a useless cut USB cable plugged into my computer. Actually its a 4GB stealth flash drive. I wonder how many weird looks I will get using this in public .

I graduated College from ITT-Tech today.  I now have my Associates degree in computer networking.  I will have pictures uploaded shortly.  In the mean time, here is one picture of me and Kaleb (my nephew) after the graduation ceremony.
