That Voodoo that you do...

OK, so as I sit here recovering from surgery, I am going a bit stircrazy and I thought I would recant our long overdue vacation highlights just for you, my valued bloggers!


It was so nice to get away, to be in the sun and sand for a bit. We got to Montego Bay on the tuesday after Christmas about 9PM and took a bus to Ocho Rios. A 2 hour bus ride across the worst pot-holed rocky road I have ever been on (yes, worse than the old River Road in New Orleans). About 45 minutes in, the bus broke down. So here we are in bum-f**k Jamaica at 10:30 at night at some crazy island rest stop waiting for the next bus to come through. Luckily we had some beers and the second bus was there in no time. We get to the resort at about 11PM local time and crashed. We awoke to this...


How sweet is that? That pic is from our balcony. Über Cool.

The resort was beautiful, the beaches were white and pristine, and the water was the bluest that I have ever seen. We met people from all over the world there, some really cool folks from Montreal, I met a guy from England who is an Ultimate Fighting Championship promoter, and played some sand soccer with some Frenchmen and a few Japanese guys. We took a day and went deep sea fishing (got skunked, but it was much fun), took a day and went snorkling on the same coral reef that Dr. No was filmed. We got to see the Jamaican Prime Minister one evening, he came to eat at the resort and I got to be about 15 feet away from him at one point. It was just a great week.


We got back on January 4th, and I promptly ripped the hernia (see below) in my belly button while lugging the luggage back into the house. WELCOME 2006!

I feel Good!

this is for Alex...

It'll make the Kessel run in 12 parsecs....

This is some crazy shit ya'll. You ever see the movie "Event Horizon"? This is the same thing that they based the movie's "hyperspace" drives on. It'd be cool as hades if it worked. Allthough, like the movie, i'm a bit unrasy about the whole "slipping into another dimension" thing - we can't even handle our own yet...

Welcome to Mars: only a three hour trip
An extrodinary "hyperspace" engine that could make interstellar space travel a reality by flying into other dimensions is being investigated by the United States government.

The hypothetical device, which has been outlined in principle but is based on a controversial theory about the fabric of the universe, could potentially allow a spacecraft to travel to Mars in three hours and journey to a star 11 light years away in just 80 days, according to a report in today's New Scientist magazine.

The theoretical engine works by creating an intense magnetic field that, according to ideas first developed by the late scientist Burkhard Heim in the 1950s, would produce a gravitational field and result in thrust for a spacecraft.

Also, if a large enough magnetic field was created, the craft would slip into a different dimension, where the speed of light is faster, allowing incredible speeds to be reached. Switching off the magnetic field would result in the engine reappearing in our current dimension....

too busy for you suckas

So i decided to take a month off. Shoot me.

We've been busy up to our eyeballs with work and the like, it's tough to be 3733t. I also have to have surgery on the 31st. Yeah, I popped an umbilical hernia hauling around our luggage on the return trip from Jamaica 'mon (I told my wife to pack light)...

I'll be back this weekend with the FULL month's update.

WHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Quick Johnny, look at the pissed off cat!

Sunburn, snorkels and Shenanigans

Like our old Disney pals Annette and Frankie, we're back from the beach. I'll have a new update up for all to enjoy and recant for generations this weekend - after I dig out from under 9,000,000 emails. Are vacations supposed to bring catch-up misery?
