Here's a great live re-creation of the Black Eyed Peas song Boom Boom Pow by soon to be hip-hop royalty, Asher Roth. He recorded this track live at the BBC and posted it for download on his website.
 
The track is safe for work, but his website is not. Enjoy!
 

Here are a few random shots from our DOUBLE-BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA WEEKEND! You can see the spread for our daughter's birthday...and then some of the decorations I put together for my wife's "Mad Scientist" Party (Made an erlenmeyer flask out of 2 angelfood cakes & a vase). Our dog looks happy to be sitting outside (that means he's tired, as he hates being outside. Also, the apple tree exploded in blossoms & a little bird has invaded one of the exhaust fan ducts to nest.

Here is the June 2009 cover for the Cross & Crescent Magazine. This month's sit-down interview is with ESPN & CollegeFanz.com Founder, Bill Rasmussen.

I ended up driving out to Darwin Minnesota (and back) last Friday to pick up some meat. Yes, I purchase meat in bulk-it's leaner and a better price.
 
Check out some of my pics from the butcher's place as well as my visit to the World's Largest Ball of Twine. Additionally, I saw a giant fiberglass chicken! So, the trip was for naught...I did get to see some cool stuff out in the middle of nowhere.

Want to know How To: Destroy iPod Technology in less than 1 minute? Give it to a 2-year old.
 
This is what mine did with an iPod Nano. This is a rarely-seen iPod Operating System green screen menu. I clicked around for a minute before deciding to power-down and restart the iPod...fearing the worst along the way.
 
Of course, I have no idea how my little one actually got to this menu in less than 60 seconds...but I'm sure a proud papa!

In my "free" time, I help out my Fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha, by designing covers for their national magazine, The Cross & Crescent . Assistant Editor Chris Barrick visited Florida Congressman Rooney in Washington this week. Chris sent me this photo of the C&C cover I created of Congressman Rooney for the February issue framed and on display in the Congressman's office. All I can say is WOW and Thank you!

   

This is my desk, behind my desk, behind my desk. You can see how often I actually get to clean it up.

Here are some pics of our home renovation project. We added a master suite and I'm just finishing up staining, cutting and installing trim. You can see some of the in-process pics. Also, a photo of a roller and hinge from the garage door which I handily fixed the other day. Yeah...I'm feeling pretty awesome about it.

For those of us who are Pre-Oprah on Twitter. A little badge of honor for us all.

Kudos to Chris Barrick (Assoc. Director of Communications @ Lambda Chi Alpha) for the many hours he put in building this great mosaic of Warren Albert Cole.
