Blog Oklahoma Podcast

Did ya ever have one of those days that started off great but then just fell apart? I was hoping to get an early start with the podcast today, but that just didn't work out. My home router has started to act up, and I've spent most the day trying to get it reconfigured so I can be online. I'm afraid it's time to buy a new one, but that's just going to have to wait for another time because I'm on a...

I hope everyone is safe and warm on this most monochromatic of weekends. I'm sure most of you have looked out a window this morning and saw nothing but white. Here in the west OK we had some defrosting on Saturday, but that's been stopped dead in its tracks. Now everything is frozen again. Hard. I know this for certain because when I took our dog Widget out for a walk this morning, and I promptly...

Just get back into the swing of things and what happens? Tax season. The entire family is impatiently waiting for all our W-forms and other tax information to come in so we can file our taxes. This year it's doubly important we get ahead of things, because we get to fill out, for the first time, financial aid forms necessary for our son's high educational needs coming this fall. And I have come to...

It's 2010, and here's the first real podcast of the year. I hope everyone had a great holiday season, I know we did. But it's time to get back into the swing of things. Alright.. Now how do you do this podcast thing again? #teamconan In the News: Some of the latest headlines from the Oklahoma blog-o-sphere and the main street media.

The goal of my 2009 A Picture A Day project was to take one picture for every day in 2009 and post it to Flickr.

Tis' the weekend before Christmas and all through the house everyone is doing their own thing, giving me time to click this mouse. Mixing some music I've come across in the course of the year, all in the hopes of giving you some holiday cheer. Some of the music is traditional and others quite not. But I hope you enjoy this music that I have brought. The Blog Oklahoma Family and I wish you the best...

Back during the summer of 2006, my wife, son, and I decided to take a short excursion through western Oklahoma. Our goal besides having a fun family afternoon drive was to find a few historic places north of Cheyenne, Oklahoma Podcast Correction: I transposed the highway numbers when I recorded the podcast. Highway US 283 is correct. I say 238 by mistake.

Hot off the heels of a busy Thanksgiving week comes an entire month of holidays, office work, and family happenings. All this tends to make this one of the busiest times of the year. So before we get too far in the busy season I would like to wish all of you a happy Hanukkah, a merry Christmas, a festive New Year, and a most heart felt, "Welcome to Blog Oklahoma" In The News: Will be back next tim...

Our poor little dog Widget threw another fit this morning. Why? Dogs don't know about daylight savings time. They don't realize you've changed the schedule. So this morning and every morning since November 1st around 5 AM Widget has to go outside, now! So it's either wake up, drag myself out of bed, and let the dog out, and attempt to start the day; or let Widget throw a fit for just one more hour...

The 31th of October is very special to me. Not only is it home to one of the cooler holidays, it's also the day I became wedded to my lovely Donna. Thank you for 5 wonderful years. Did you know your fifth wedding anniversary is the wood anniversary?. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to get Donna. Considering the season, I'm thinking of a wooden stake. So she'll have something to protect her from all...

I was driving home from the office yesterday, and what did I see? Christmas decorations. That's right. Christmas decorations. The City of Elk City has already decorated the street lights down Main street with Christmas decorations. The holiday isn't for another two months and It's already Yule time downtown. What happened to Halloween? What happened to celebrating autumn? I haven't even picked up...

It's been cold and dreary out there this week. Autumn has definitely fallen on us. Hopefully everyone got there container plants inside or at least in a protected area. I know we did. I was hoping to get in one last lawn mowing for the season, but that's looking like it's going to have to wait, if it happens at all. I guess I'll just have to suffer a winter with a shaggy brown lawn. Welcome to Aut...

Due to problems over the weekend. I'm actually recording this on a Tuesday. This might be the fastest podcast I put together. I'm going to test myself on my recording and editing skills, and attempt to get this podcast posted in the shortest amount of time I can. I already have my script written and edited for time, and my music selections are queued up. So on your mark... Get set... In the News:...

Getting a late start on the podcast today. This weekend just happen to fall on the time I do some end of the month processing for the ol' day job. And that purty much eats up most of the day. I almost just called this one, but I thought I'm sure I can get a podcast out, and if you're listening to this, hey, I did. I don't know what about the last quarter of the year seems to just fill up with thin...

Every week when I visit many of the member blogs for the podcast I notice some people posted daily, some weekly, some monthly, and others well I think they might have forgotten they have a blog. In this era of Twitter, Facebook, and other like services, many of us forget to post in the long form. So this got me asking myself if I can do something to get you to blog. The answer I got back was proba...

It's that time of year once again that is both joyous and frustrating for young and old alike. It's back to school time for Oklahoma. It's joyous to see all your school friends again, and frustrating to have to get up before noon now. It's joyous to see your children off to school for another year of education and growth. It's frustrating because one you'll miss them, and two its so damn hard to g...

Greetings Everyone. I hope all of you had an wonderful and safe independence day holiday weekend. I originally intended to start off this podcast by read to you the Star Spangled Banner, the poem written by Francis Scott Key on September 3, 1814. Many of you will find it familiar as our national anthem, but remember before it was a song it was a poem. I thought it would make a good patriotic way t...
