Masterlocks Suck

May 10th, 2009

I got a Masterlock for $6.99 at Meijer just to practice (locksport) on, and boy is it a piece of crap. Don’t lock anything important up with these!

APA Pool 2009 – lost

January 21st, 2009

Lost this match too, but I at least played well. I beat the guy 2 out of 5, every other game (The last game I just got skunked).

Nate (coach) gave me some really good advice that won me a game and got me rethinking my whole concept of defense.

Also I learned it is folly to attempt to juggle when you’ve been drinking!

Slinging – First video

March 19th, 2008

This is the first video I’ve made of me slinging.

Many people don’t understand the difference between a sling and a slingshot. A sling is not stretchy. It’s just a flat piece of cloth and 2 strings.

They were used by the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and even before that. Range and lethality were on par with bows of the time.

Take that Goliath!

Some juggling with my new camera

Testing out my new camcorder:

It’s a trap!!!!

January 18th, 2008

I’m so ashamed, I walked right into a trap today.

Lucky for me it was a birthday trap and not a death trap.
Still, I should have been paying closer attention.

(my pre-promotion dept called me over to help with their computers and had a cake and ice cream and singing)

Take a moment of silence for Ehrich Weisz (aka Harry Houdini) tonight, who died on Halloween in 1926.

Revisiting juggling

October 16th, 2007

I haven’t been juggling in a long time. Tonight I decided to see how rusty I was.

Geocaching

April 17th, 2006

Started Geocaching yesterday, it’s fun.

Technically I went one time before but I didn’t consider it my first time since most of the trip was just me watching a guy abuse his son.

Yup, Ryan locked his keys in his car.
