Pandora Radio– Where have you been all my life?

2008-08-28T17:51:48Z

Holy Cow. I have heard about pandora radio before. But never really spend time using it. Until today. I installed the Pandora app on my ipod Touch. I now prefer it to my music collection on my ipod. Wow.

It works like this: Type in an artist that you like. I typed in weezer. Now I get to listen to similar music streamed for free. I love it. Try it for yourself - pandora.com.

2008-08-27T18:11:32Z

I love movies. I also love cars. Some parts of the fast and furious franchise contained some lame acting. But- The action scenes and car scenes have not dissapointed. This trailer is very exciting!

Rottentomatoes.com has some great information. The movie comes out June 2009.

Melisa Merrill is the worlds greatest wife

2008-08-27T14:36:58Z

I have been able to spend a lot more time lately with Melisa than I have been able to in the past. This fantastic blessing has helped me realize moreso what a wonderful woman she is and just how lucky I am to have married her.

Each day that goes by, my love and appreciation grows. Melisa– you are truly a special person. Thank you for making my life complete!

Whats new with me? Everything!

Hello Friends– It has been a very long time since I wrote anything in the blog. I think it is time to provide my friends and family a little update.

First and foremost I have a new job. It allows me to work from home and travel. I get to spend a lot of time with my wife and children. It is wonderful. I am now a full time salesforce.com consultant. I work for a company based in chicago. I am working with one of their clients that is a VERY HUGE software company based in Palo Alto. It is a great job and I love it!

This also means that I left LANDesk. I truly loved that job. I had many great friends and that job will be missed.

It was also time for a BLOG update. I changed the layout so that I could have some pics of the kids up there. They are such a huge part of my life and I wanted to share some of there awesome new pictures with you all.

That is all for now–Toph.

Now you can buy a Kikker 5150

2008-05-14T19:26:52Z

I was at the University Mall and found a new store called Rockabilly INC. And what was in the window but a Kikker 5150. I talked to the owner, Dave Roach, about it. He sells them and lot of them. I have tried various approaches to connect people interested in the 5150 with someone that sells the kit. Now I have one.

Shoot me an email and I will get you in touch with David.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

2008-05-12T16:14:01Z

I don’t win things very often. But I lucked out this time.

I have made some random purchases from crutchfield.com over time. A while back I got an email from them about a contest they were having called

My entry went something like this:

I would use the above products to install speakers in my childrens’ playhouse. The other speakers would be for the deck and near the trampoline. They can plug in their iPods and listen to their music while they play. This would definitely make our backyard the place to be for all of the neighborhood kiddos. The receiver and TV would be installed on the deck in a weatherproof cabinet so that the adults can enjoy a little surround-sound television or movie, while also enjoying some barbecue. With the multi-room capabilities of the Yamaha RX-V663, we could enjoy our music, and the kids could be listening to Radio Disney while swinging or playing in their playhouse. All the cabling and connectors are included. Plus XM and iPod. WooHoo!!

To which they responded:

Chris’ plan for the kid’s Playhouse — and at the same time, taking care of the adult’s needs — is brilliant. He remembered everyone and even the cables — and, came in just under budget. As he said: ‘WooHoo!’

I have a bit of work to do to hopefully get the $1000 gift card.
