Wicked

Good thing I spent all that time building out KohlerHome.com for my parents this month. If today’s housing data is any marker, and knowing my dad’s lack of urgency to sell for anything but a great/fair/pre-2008 price, it’ll probably be a bit before they sell:

Complimentary Hors

The PGA Championship is near my parent’s place in Kohler, WI this week. No bites on selling their home yet, but the week is young.

As for the actual tournament, Tiger sucks, Mickelson has severe arthritis, and everyone else on the tour is relatively boring. I’ve been to four PGA Championships in my [...]

For Sale By Owner

On and off for the last couple of weeks, including pretty much this entire past weekend, I have been building a website for my parents to sell their home. I don’t know a lick of HTML, so it made things a little tricky, but I’ve learned enough about website design and manipulation from [...]

It’s An Ultra Lounge. Obviously.

I guess the term “Ultra Lounge” is used loosely these days. I didn’t think Ultra Lounges existed outside of LA, NY, or Vegas. But apparently She Vegas (the “She” presumably coming from Sheboygan, WI — the hip Location Du Jour, or not) fits the bill.

This “Ultra Lounge Nightclub” is literally sandwiched between two [...]

I just got my new iPhone 4.

I was testing out some of the video recording (because my old iPhone 3G never had it). And I wanted to see how it would perform in low light. Since I’m home this weekend, and my dad was out mowing the lawn at 8PM, I figured [...]

I See Dead Directors

I think we all knew this was the case, but to actually see M. Night Shyamalan’s collapse in chart form is quite stunning. I wouldn’t trust this guy to even produce my niece’s soccer games these days…

The last M. Night movie I saw was The Village. Apparently I got out at the [...]

Tour de Emory

Self-guided audio walking tours are the lamest things in the world. I have experienced them at the Forbidden City in Beijing, Alcatraz Prison in San Francisco, a Picasso exhibit in Atlanta, and probably a few others that I’m forgetting.

However, I never was fortunate enough to experience Emory University’s self-guided audio walking tour. I [...]

My Right to Brag

I had this little Christmas light photo shoot competition with my father this weekend inspired by Gizmodo’s weekly challenge.

I submitted our two best photos last night, but only one made it to the website. I’m guessing they chose mine because it’s better, but maybe they just wouldn’t accept two photos from the same [...]

Phun for Photos: Xmas Challenge Shots

By Wahl, on December 13, 2009, at 11:26 am | Comments are closed

Earlier this week, I mentioned a new weekly photo shoot contest from Gizmodo.com. The theme: Christmas lights.

My parents expressed interest in trying to beat my skillz. A futile effort in my opinion, but being the nice son that I am, I indulged. And now we get to compare results (my mom ended up [...]

Unleash Hell

Update – Mental Floss has a nice little relevant article: 10 of the Worst Blizzards Ever

When Mike Tomlin, the Steelers head coach, is fired in January, maybe he can get a job as a meteorologist. He said that his team was going to ‘unleash hell’ in December — and has started that [...]
