The Life and Times of Jim |
Hi, there. I'm Jim. Welcome to my phlog! This site was written for Las Vegas, then LouisVille. Now, it seems to be about anywhere. In these phlogs, you'll see a lot of my personal notes and pictures. I like to post my observations here to remember life and celebrate it. I'm not religious. I don't pray for good fortune. I'm ecstatically grateful for the gift of life and I think our time should be remembered and not taken for granted. I'm not a writer. I think pictures tell stories so much better than words. I love just about everything in this life, and, I guess that would have to include you. So, if you've seen me, don't be surprised if your picture is in here somewhere. Of all the critters, people are absolutely the most interesting. |

'The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms: greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge, has marked the upward surge of mankind.' - Gordon Gekko (Gekko was the main character in Oliver Stone's 1987 film Wall Street) As long as someone has money, they'll spend it, and when they do, we'll have jobs. |

When in Pittsburgh, do as Pittsburghers do. That's Becky wearing her Steeler paraphernalia. Without these colors, our pictures would be on milk cartons. |

My alarm clock went off at 6 am.
I got up, took my shower, put on my five layers of clothes, and sat down at the computer, to play with some programs. The truck was buried in snow.
I had to dig my way through to the windshield. The roads were icy. I ended up coming into work late. When I got to work at 8:30,
the parking lot was empty, I remember thinking, Maybe my job went bankrupt!!! The good thing about this morning:
I finished a program that lets me take pictures from my camera and put them almost directly to this website. That means, most of the 17,000 pictures I've taken will soon be here. Cool, huh. The program is a Visual Basic.Net program. Also, LvDude is finally a .Net website. I converted it today too. What a day!! |

That leaves Best Buy and Walmart for Electronics. Of course, there is Ultimate Electronics and Frys in Vegas. Remember CompUsa? Remember Chrysler and General Motors? Hmmm.....Things are happening slowly, so slowly that a lot of us don't even notice. |

What we've got here is another ICE AGE ! Questions pop up into my head like: Will my car battery work? Will my hand stick to metal? What temperature does gas freeze at? Oh, and why is gasoline called gas? I broke down, and bought a game computer. It should be in the mail any day now. Its a Wii. My thinking was, its so cold out there, we're not going anywhere this winter. Staying at home could save our lives. This winter, Wii is saving Us. |
