I am always messing around with my FireFox start page. I have put a lot of time into them in the past and then I never really use them. So for the new year I am going to try and learn something new everyday. I found on Lifehacker a way to make your start page a random Wikipedia entry. Just make your start page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Randompage. [Link]

Well I am back. It was nice taking a little blog break. We had a nice Christmas. I didn’t work until Christmas night so we had a lot of time to spend with the family. We actually had a brown Christmas. I don’t ever remember not having snow on Christmas. Then this past Friday we had rain. Rain in December? WTF? I don’t ever remember getting rain in December. It eventually turned into snow. Now it is cold out and the roads are solid ice. That is more what Decembers should be like.

Over my blog break there were some major deaths. Two by natural causes and one man made. For as bad a person as Saddam Hussein was, I still feel killing him is wrong. I felt sad the day he was hung. Killing people to show that killing people is wrong just doesn’t seem right. NakedJen has similar feelings.

So yesterday the Broncos lost and were eliminated from the playoffs. I didn’t care too much about there not making the playoffs. They weren’t going to get very far aways. The worst part about them not making the playoffs is that the Chiefs made the playoffs.

The news I herd today when I woke up made be totally forget about the Broncos not making the playoffs. Last night Darrent Williams was shot and killed. I was totally shocked and still am. Darrent Williams was their top draft pick from 2005. he was a great cornerback and had a bright future. He will be missed.

DenverBroncos.com has a nice tribute to Darrent Williams.

I haven’t been in a blogging mood for about a week now.  Nothing going on now plus I am sick now.  Don’t be surprised if I don’t blog again until next year.

I haven’t spent much time online this week, hence my lack of blogging and taking pictures. I just wasn’t feeling it this week and needed a break. I did find a few cool things on the net though.

If you haven’t see any of the Will it Blend episodes on YouTube, where have you been? This week he blends an iPod.

Then there is this hilarious Will it Blend Spoof.

Have you ever wanted to know how to make cream soda? I haven’t, but it does seem pretty easy to make. Not sure how good it would taste though.

You gotta love Hank, and here is one of his best rants.

This site has a bunch of cool videos of golf balls going through objects in slow motion.

Have you ever played Roller Coaster Tycoon? I know when I played it I would try and see how many people I could kill in a coaster accident. Here is how to kill a massive amount of people. I wish I would have thought of that.

And finally, you know I am a sucker for cool looking periodic tables. This one it pretty cool.

I don’t watch JibJab videos very often, but this one is pretty funny.

I don’t know if I mentioned it on here or not, but I am on jury duty for six months.  It started in October I think.  I don’t remember.  Well, a couple weeks ago I got the card that said a trial for me was coming up.  It was for next week.  I just called and it was canceled.  I am assuming they settled out of court.  I was actually kind of looking forward to being on a jury.  Sure it would probably suck and be boring, but it would be nice to get out of work.  Getting paid from my job without being there or using vacation would be kinda cool.  Oh well, I guess I will be going to work tomorrow morning now.

So yesterday we were crazy and went to Walmart to fight the crowed and pickup some personal items we needed.  Sitting in the parking lot was this car with writing all over it and it said “sign my ride” in the back window.  There were people outside collecting donations and having people sign the car.  Crazy.  I noticed the car had Florida plates so I figured they have been driving all over the country collecting money and having people sign their car.  So of course I did a little Googling and found this.  Yep, that’s them.  And they came to Fargo.  Crazy.

It was a sad day for the Denver Broncos.  They got pounded by the Chargers.  LT set the record for touchdowns in a season.  He has 29 in just 13 games.  That’s incredible.  It sad that my Broncos are about knocked out of the playoffs, but they have some young rookies that are looking good so the future is bright.  Right now I am rooting for the Chargers.  I want them to prove that the AFC West is the best.  At least it’s not KC or Oakland winning the division.  There is no way in hell I would ever root for the chiefs or Raiders.
