What Are You Expecting? – Remixed!

I’ve been playing around with some different editing software over the past couple of weeks and also checking out some new electronic/dance music artists. Here’s the result:
What Are You Expecting (Masterpiece Remix ft. Robbie Parker)

The background track is called “Expressing Emotions” from Masterpiece and you can find it on iTunes, Zune, and other e-music outlets. Spoken word by Rev. Robbie Parker of Memorial Baptist Church in Williamston, NC.

Sight seeing at the crash site

I had a request for more McDonald’s pictures, so here are a couple of panoramas, followed by some bonus footage from around Roswell, NM.
You can click any of these for a larger version.

Cielo Grande

Cielo Grande Park is built on the site of an abandoned airport.
The old control tower is still there, though it’s in pretty bad shape.

Behind the control tower is this skate park.

Skate Park

New Mexico must be much less litigious than Virginia. I can’t imagine a skate park in Fairfax County with no access control and no helmet requirements.

The cool thing is, this could have been a complete wipe-out, but you don’t know that because you just see this kid flying through the air.

Fancy trickness

Best run I’ve had in a long time

And it was in Roswell, NM. Actually, I think I’m starting to change my opinion of the place a little. I’ve found some little spots of green and wildlife. But I still miss my mountains, and the beach, and my Rachel – not necessarily in that order.

Oh Roswell…

Abducted

Just a quick update in case anybody’s paying attention. I made it out to Roswell, my new home for the next few months. Roswell is flat. And they are all about the extra terrestrials. I’ll let you know if I see any.

Trying to revive my blog

I probably will if I can get postie and WP to Twitter to play nice together. And I’ll start right here with this pointless test post.

Snow Pictures

It’s a beautiful day in the snow covered Shenandoah valley. We got something like 20 inches of snow, though it’s hard to tell now. Yesterday it snowed a little but the wind blew a lot. Some places it’s 10 inches deep, and some places it’s five feet. Here are a few snaps of the damage.

OK, OK Fastest 3G Network, Whatever….

Want to know why I’m still with Verizon? It’s mainly because AT&T’s voice network is lousy. But below I’ve grabbed their data coverage maps for the area I spend the most time in.

Verizon Data Coverage

Verizon’s Data Coverage – 3G is in dark green

AT&T Data Coverage

AT&T’s data Coverage. 3G is in dark blue.
Note: no 3G where I live, nor where my parents live. In between, there’s virtually no data coverage at all, save for some narrow strips of EDGE.
If you go to AT&T’s coverage map, you might notice that you can’t even view quality of service or 3G coverage. I guess they’ve seen those Verizon “There’s a map for that” commercials. By the way, these tiny dark orange splotches on the coverage map are places where you can expect your iPhone to work for phone calls indoors.

It went like this

“What’s the difference between the Boardwalk Buger and the Boardwalk-Fry Burger?”
“The Boardwalk-Fry Burger has fries on the burger.”
“That’s crazy.”
“I know.”

With the exception of that bit of lunacy, if you’ve ever been to Five Guys, you’ll know what’s going on at Boardwalk Fresh Burger and Fries right down to the bucket of salted peanuts. The exceptions are Boardwalk’s chicken fingers and the option of chili on your burger. Perhaps not quite on par with Five Guys, but I’d come back.
