Behind the times...researching DVRs

So I admit, I am a little behind the times and now researching DVRs. I looked into getting the Comcast dvr, but feel that may be limiting us by using proprietary equipment and a monthly fee. PVRs...not sure if I want to have a computer always connected to the tv. Tivo seems like the only way to go, choices of equipment, ability to pay for lifetime subscription, options to expand...

First visit to the CA Academy of Sciences

We finally purchased a membership to the CA Academy of Sciences and went yesterday for the first time. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful. We didn't get to see everything, but good thing we have the membership so we can go back. We went thru the rain forest, aquarium, and the living roof. Here are a few pics.

Fun with light

During my trip to Hawaii, it was my first time to experience an island wide blackout. We were driving to the restaurant for dinner when all of the sudden everything shut down...street lights, signals, and shops. What a traffic nightmare. I guess Hawaii drivers aren't used to driving when the signals stop working because no one stops. So back to the house we went, pulled out the propane hot plates and lanterns and had a great home cooked meal. After dinner pulled out my camera and a couple flashlights and took some long exposure pics.

Beginning the year of 2009

My first post in 2009 is actually a recap since my last post last year, how funny. Lets see, got married, had Thanksgiving at my parents place, went to Kauai for the first time, spent Christmas in Hawaii with Chelle's family, and had New Years at our place...whew.
Here are some pics from the Kauai trip (Fern Grotto, a random viewpoint, and the Kilauea Light House)
