What is a solar cycle? Glad you asked. Also known as the solar magnetic activity cycle, it’s a cycle that regulates activities and structures on the Sun. Astronomers measure solar cycles by documenting the number of sunspots on the surface of the Sun. It’s an advanced system. Counting black dots on the Sun. And to [...]

Tonight, I saw the documentary Anvil: The Story of Anvil at the Magnolia Theater in Dallas, TX. I joined my friends Cliff and Steve, and I really wish Jordan and Eric could have been there. If you have ever been in a band, you need to see this movie. If you’ve ever wondered what being [...]

I can’t possibly take credit for this idea, but I certainly had to post about it on my blog. Sometimes inspirational messages and quotes are awesome. I enjoy them every now and then, but I’m pretty sure that they are always enjoyable (and maybe even more meaningful) when they are coming from a wolf. Here [...]

I enjoy science fiction, but I must admit that I’ve never read any of the works by Jules Verne. I know. It’s terrible, but I have never really taken to reading. I think it’s because books don’t come alive to me, as they did for Bastian Balthazar Bux (the kid from The Never Ending Story [...]

Have you ever seen anything like that before today? That Mitsubishi 1080p HDTV is the world’s largest HDTV, and it’s sitting right here in our backyard of Arlington, TX. I guess the old cliché is actually true: Everything is bigger in Texas. Could it be that the release of Terrell Owens freed up some of [...]

According to this Access Hollywood article (here), a top FOX source told them that the results were not even close. Kris Allen won the American Idol finale by a large margin. Imagine that. The previous week, only 1 million votes separated the Adam and Kris. I guess the majority of Danny Gokey’s fans voted for [...]
