Love For Wordpress

Posted by trent on Friday, August 15th, 2008

I have been an avid supporter of all things wordpress for the past 3 years.    This includes testing out development versions of the software, helping in various support forums and of course, using the product on a regular basis!    This past year I have also been involved in various things with wordpress mu as well.   [...]

I have to share these videos that my wife was able to take the other day of some spiders around our house.    Freaky!

Rainbow Dreams

On the way home I was hit by a massive rainstorm that produced some great moisture and a pleasant surprise with this wonderful rainbow! Thought I would share it!

Wow Canadian Idol!

Posted by trent on Saturday, June 28th, 2008

I never posted about this past week, but there were some amazing performances from the Canadian Idol stage.    They tried something different this season with the contestants being the musicians and having the group sing.   It gives a more natural talent feel and all of them were amazing.   I strongly suggest if you have some [...]

It’s The Only One You’ve Got

Posted by trent on Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Sometimes you run across the songs that define your generation, your situation or just your attention. The new album from 3 Doors Down is just amazing and the the best of those songs in my opinion is a song called “It’s The Only One You’ve Got” and frankly, I love the lyrics and [...]

Bad Grammer

Posted by trent on Saturday, May 24th, 2008

It is nice to see that Collin is back online and posting away! I always get a kick out of his blog and some of the things he finds. For instance, how about this gif ?
In typical Collin fashion it is highlighted for all to see on every blog entry [...]

Beckham Game Video

Posted by trent on Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

I mentioned earlier about being at the game featuring the LA Galaxy and the Vancouver Whitecaps, but wanted to share this video from the game introducing “David Beckham”!

LA Galaxy At Commonwealth

Posted by trent on Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

We were lucky enough to get tickets to watch the LA Galaxy, led by David Beckham, take on the Vancouver Whitecaps. The Vancouver team was able to win the game 2-1, but Beckham still managed to get an assist. The weather was far from as cold as it could [...]

Computer Illusion

‘The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift.’
A. Einstein

If you look at the above images from your seat in front of the computer, Mr. Angry is on the left, and Ms. Calm is on [...]

Grass Season Is On!

Posted by trent on Monday, May 5th, 2008

I started to bring out grass cattle at the end of March at Dorothy Ranch. Those were the first grass cattle that we put out and were fortunate to have some great big valleys for the cattle to hide in during the spring snow storms that we had. They are [...]

iPhone is Coming To Canada and WPMU 1.5

Posted by trent on Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

First off, I would like to say thanks to Andy for letting me know about the Rogers annoucement for the iPhone coming to Canada. Just like every other announcement from Rogers it seems a little vague:
TORONTO, April 29 /CNW/ - Ted Rogers, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Rogers Communications Inc. today issued the [...]

Flickr Over YouTube For Video

Posted by trent on Saturday, April 26th, 2008

I just decided that even though I wrote about this already in a previous post, I had to vent a bit more as I find myself sitting here almost 2 months later and Flickr has finally released their video service.
It is really frustrating to me that Google has yet to follow through with an improvement [...]

Quit Stealing Content!

Posted by trent on Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

I decided that it was in my best interest to take down my music off this site, all 40+ cover songs I recorded.   It is one thing when I was getting my friends, family and readers coming to my site and deciding to listen to my covers of some of my favorite songs, but [...]

So Many Things On Go

Posted by trent on Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

The title really says it all for me of late.    I am extremely busy at work and that is something that will continue for quite some time.    The problem is that I really have so many “extra” things outside of the realm of work that I pursue that I barely have time for anything.    Work, [...]

BuddyPress for WPMU

Posted by trent on Sunday, April 6th, 2008

There has been quite a bit of action in the past couple of months with talk of the future of BuddyPress. This project was started by Andy Peatlings as a way to add some “social networking” capabilities to WPMU. Due to constraints, Andy put the code up for [...]
