Well, today, Lianna and I were on our own. We went to Sea Port Village, the Old Spaghetti Factory (which was excellent, btw), and Horton Plaza downtown. I found a shirt at Crazy Shirts at Sea Port Village that was dyed with beer... I had to have it. They also had shirts dyed with money... Pretty cool stuff.

We made our way up to Mt. Palomar today to see the observatory. It's the home of the 200" Hale telescope. Very cool for astronomy buffs like us. Of course she was disappointed that she couldn't look through it until she understood that there was nothing to look through. All images are captured by computers and state of the art photo sensors. The trip through the mountains was cool too. We saw what was left after the big fire last year. Lots of charred trees everywhere, but the undergrowth is coming back. Nature has a funny way of doing that...

Sat down tonight to get the pics off my camera, and low and behold, one of my aunt's neighbors has WiFi. Sweet. Expect more pics over the next two weeks. Here is one I took today.

We're sitting at the airport in Omaha waiting for our plane to take us to San Diego. Free WiFi here, so I thought i'd say see ya later... Not sure if I'll have any net connection while we're there, so I may not be online.

Well, today I finally hit the big 3-0. It's funny, but I don't feel any different than I did yesterday. Some of you may pass it off as no big deal, but it's a pretty big milestone in this young man's life. The last 30 years have given me so much and taken so much at the same time. It's been filled with joy, sorrow, tears, laughter, heartache, excitement, boredom, decisions, regrets, and many many memories. So, happy birthday to me! Time to get on with my next 30 years!

I had a little fun with our bowling team picture. Our sixth man was unavailable for the photo, so we snapped his pic later and I shopped in his head...

I found out today that weblogs.com will no longer be hosting free weblogs, so http://bubba.weblogs.com is dead, Viva La Bubba Blog! I have had this for some time, just to fuck around and try new things, so I'm going to start making all my new posts here. This offers more functionality, and has some really cool features. I can post via E-mail, telephone, and of course my laptop or any other Internet connected PC. There will be a mix of things to expect, so keep your eyes and ears open. Oh yeah, and make sure you update your bookmarks.

An open statement to Dave Winer:

Dear Mr. Winer,
I've been a weblogs.com user for quite some time, and I feel that you owe my readers more than a page that says "This site is for people with sites that used to be hosted at weblogs.com." when they try to visit my site. I understand that you can no longer provide free weblogging facilities to everyone, but to pull the sites with no warning is just mean. You have my E-mail address, the least you could have done was tell me you couldn't host the site anymore. Blogs, and the Internet in general, are about communication, something that you could use a lesson in.

Sincerely,
Ryan Vermeys
