Memorial Day is a time to take stock of the present, reflect on the past, and renew our commitment to the future of America. Today, as in the past, there are problems that must be solved and challenges that must be met. We can tackle them with our full strength and creativity only because we are free to work them out in our own way. We owe this freedom of choice and action to those men and women i...

Spring has shown me something unique in our yard, an almost perfect circle. The cause of this near perfect circle, a dog named Widget. Widget resides in our backyard on a twenty foot leash. And just like a famous cartoon dog chasing after an equally famous cartoon rooster, Widget is always discovering the end of his leash. He has manged to dig a trench in our backyard in a near perfect circle. At...

It's another windy day in Oklahoma, and this isn't just another windy day. It's the 4th day in a row of high winds here in the West OK. It's been 4 days of howling wind, rattling my windows, shaking my trees, and blowing new trash in to my yard. Annoying as it is, the wind does have its benefits. Just over the horizon from my home is a brand new wind power farm. Generating much needed electricity...

Oklahoma just had one of the worst snowstorms in recent history this past Friday. Many of our friends in the northwestern part of the state are still digging out. For us here in Elk City America the snow got about ankle high. But here it is Sunday and the snow has already melted away. I can see my lawn again. I am however particularly worried about all the plants around the state. It is spring aft...

I started preparing this week's podcast with something funny, but ended up a on a short rant about social networking data overload, which you'll find in the second half of the program. Every once in a while just have to rant. You read something in news, that just sets off that part of your brain forces you to comment on it. And I did. I think ranting is good every once in while. In fact I'm going...

Daylight Saving Time is once again upon us. This annual time shift really has my body clock all out of whack. I don't know about you, but I'm looking down at the clock on my computer and just can't imaging its as late as it's telling me. Who would have thought shifting one hour would make such a difference. Now I'll be appreciative of the daylight later this spring when I can go play out in my yar...

I caught a cold virus last week and its perty much taken my voice out. But I just couldn't go the week with out noting we've managed to pass our 20th episode mark. Since I noted our 10th episode with a music spectacular, I thought why not do it again. So here's some of the best music played on the Blog Oklahoma podcast over the last 10 episodes. Music: Liars, Inc. by Freakhouse Motorcycle by Spy F...

Does it feel like a February to you? It feels more like late March to me. I know thunderstorms and tornadoes aren't unheard of, they are just so unexpected. Take today, I could go outside, and get some yard work done without a jacket. Now I'm not complaining, I needed to get yard work done, but uh are you sure it's February?

I needed a new PDA. I had originally set out to get a Blackberry Bold, but when I found out could get an iPhone for $200 cheaper. Well I'm now a member of the cult of iPhone. As much as I love this information device, I think I'm seriously developing a problem. I don't think I can go an hour without checking my e-mail. Somebody Help Me.

A very short video using 12seconds.tv. At 12seconds.tv you can post very short 12 second videos.

Here's some information from 12seconds.tv's FAQ:What is 12seconds? 12seconds is the best place online for video status...

The semi annual Blog Oklahoma members clean up is now complete. And believe it or not, but I'm over joyed it took me more than a week to get it done.

America will be witness to a historic event this Tuesday, January 20th, 2009, when Barack Obama will be sworn in as our next President. But before then I would like to thank President George W. Bush for his service and wish him the best in all his future endeavors. To President Obama, I also wish you all the best in your service to our country in the years to come. Oh and one more thing Mr. Presid...

So how many new years resolutions have you broken already? I can honestly say I've broken none. The reason? I didn't make any this year. There were times past when I make resolutions to lose weight, to exercise more, to even blog more, but most of these are something I should be doing anyway. So why make a new years resolution over it. No this year I'm doing something different. I'm not going to m...

I really love fall. The color of the leaves in our neighborhood trees are really striking. Another thing I really like about fall, or October in particular, is Halloween. After Christmas and Thanksgiving its got to be my favorite holiday. And for more reasons than monster movies on TV and free candy, which isn't so free for me anymore. No, there's a really good reason for my fondness for Halloween...

Greetings everyone and welcome to the 10th episode of the Blog Oklahoma Podcast. Wow 10 episodes. I realize in the scope of the pod-o-sphere, my little podcast about life in Oklahoma is barely a drop in the bucket. But I'm happy about it. To me 10 episodes is quite an achievement for someone sitting in the corner of a guest bedroom using a USB Headset microphone, recording with Audacity, and const...

I finally was able to work on part of that task I mentioned last episode, that has been eluding me for some time. I was able to craw up our new ladder, and start the much needed scrapping of the paint. I worked on the job for a few hours removing the old weathered pealing green paint. And just as I was finishing up the sky grew gray and dark, as if something ominous was happened. In The News: Some...
