WordPress Problem
I just upgraded my version of WordPress the other day to the latest stable release but the new AJAX dynamic editor seems to be a bit problematic. Those of you keeping up with my blog via RSS readers have probably seen some of my posts show multiple times. Twice I’ve had posts mess up the layout of the site because of wrong code with the editor. I think its the Google toolbar spellchecker I use.
Title about nothing…
Wow, my third posting in one day, can you believe it? Yeah, I know its been a while! I’ll try to be more frequent but no promises of course. 
I really haven’t had much else to post recently except links to news and my little bit of commentary. Other then that nothing big happening with me, same ole’ stuff ya know…
Oh, I did get XM Satellite Radio a few weeks ago, I must say I love it! Gotta have my NASCAR channel and “Ask!” for Coast to Coast with Art Bell and George Noory! Yeah, now you think I’m absolutely crazy right? lol I will say this, I find the stuff they talk about on Coast to Coast interesting, its not to say I believe in it all. Anyways, I decided to get the portable Delphi MyFi XM2Go receiver. I got it for $99 with a coupon code I got from www.xmradio.com from doing their FREE 3-Day online trial. Really good deal if you ask me, beats the price I seen for it everywhere else. I’ve surely been getting my $12 out of the service, from NASCAR news/talk and Coast to Coast in the early morning hours before I got to work to NASCAR news/talk and music at work. After I get home its music for a bit, then Bruce Williams show at 7:00. If I’m still awake after that I tune to “XM Chill”. That about covers the day, wouldn’t you say? Living in the city having a portable XM Radio is really nice, I can walk around with my MyFi unit in my pocket listening to clear satellite radio, very nice!
Gezz, this post is getting longer then I though it would, I better bring this to a close. Expect something else from me within a week, while I’ve been typing this some ideas have popped into my head.

Happy New Year!!
I hope everyone is having a safe and happy New Year! I’m just sitting infront of the TV with everyone waiting for the ball to drop. It’s been a fun evening so far, I’m starting to slow down for the evening…

Thanksgiving!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I ate a ton of food and hung out with the family for a few days. It can’t get much better then that, its definitely nice being off for a few days going into the weekend.
This year we did the unthinkable, went out to the mall on black Friday. Honestly, it wasn’t that bad, we got there around seven so not many of the smaller stores were open yet. Although all the anchor stores were packed. I don’t bother with all those big stores anyways, so like I said it wasn’t that bad. 
RadioShack was a bit insane though, I think they had over ten employees. Almost every one of them was busy helping someone.
Anyways, I put up my little fibre tree today, it’s on my desk sitting beside my monitor.
Christmas will be here before we know it!
It’s that time of year again!
Yes, it’s time for the holidays but it’s also the time of year for Christmas music. One of the local radio stations is at it already! Check out 97.1 WASH FM at to stream live. http://washfm.com/

History so close to home!
I guess it’s been about a month ago now, I did a little exploring around the Tenleytown metro station. Well, let me start by saying, I went there to check out the park back behind radio towers that you have probably seen while driving down Wisconsin Avenue. I saw the green area on a map, so I just had to check it out. Not knowing anything about it I walked around the outside of the open area and captured a few pictures with my camera phone, I couldn’t help but notice the tall castle like structure inside the barbed fence. I wondered if it was like some old @$$ run-down DC jail or something. I guess I didn’t do enough walking, I almost feel like going back up there just to see if there were any signs to tell me it was Fort Reno. Tonight, I just happened to take a closer look at Google maps and noticed it said Fort Reno. After doing a quick Google search I found out that place has quite a bit of history behind it. It is now maintained by the National Park Service and used for public events. I wish I would have known but they have a series of concerts there throughout the summer.

For those of you who ride the Metro in and around Washington D.C on a regular basis, what do you think about fewer seats for more standing room? Take a look at the following article by the associated press.
