Theme Update

Posted in General on June 30th, 2005

As many of you can see I’ve updated the look of av8ur.com . Justin was a big help, but I actually did most of the work this time. This theme is not original to me - but I guess you could say it is now that I’ve made a few tweaks to it. Personally I really like the image at the top ;).

What do you all think?

Court Drama

Posted in General on June 26th, 2005

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

Bus 29

Posted in General on June 15th, 2005

I just wanted to make a quick entry about the todays events. Last night 103 called me and asked if I could drive an additional bus this morning on charter/orientation. Of course I stepped up! Didn’t even have to arrive at the garage until 0800! So I roll in aroun d 0730 this morning to see NO Gilligs left. Then I round the corner and find brand new Bus 29 all warmed up and ready for me to pimp out. Now this may mean nothing to most or all of you but - I’d say it’s pretty cool that management trusts me with their brand new top of the line $250,000 dollar bus that hasn’t rolled out of the lot since delivery. 6 other drivers arrived before I did and they held that bus just for me - I feel kinda honored. Ok - I know this sounds stupid and therefore I shall shuttup. But I bet none of you have experienced such a vote of confidence..

I hope this is a testament to the confidence which will be held in me in my future endeavours…

I’ll try to throw up a picture if I can remember to bring the camera out to the garage. Oh and Megans birthday is in 29 minutes. Happy Birthday Megan :)

BATTLEFIELD 2 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

I wish I could post a load of screenshots and stuff - but if you like FPS games this is for you. I’ve played for around a total of 16 hours and I’m STILL learning things. It’s merely the demo…

I have a preorder - but I’m real poor :/ . Looks like I’ll have to cancel it but I hope to get it very soon. The above image is a Render from the fankit. Flying isn’t the only aspect of this game by any means but here at av8ur.com I felt it must be the chosen feature for this entry.

Again - Battlefield 2

Battlefield 2 Demo

Year One

Posted in General on June 6th, 2005

Yesterday marks the one year anniversary of my registering av8ur.com. With most of the web design being completed by Justin I was able to create my own little world. While I suppose I could have taken the time to learn the code myself I just picked up the basics myself and let him resolve the problems I encountered. Thanks dude for facilitating my laziness!

:)

Now for some content - this will be brief. I was surfing channels tonight and came across a dude singing pop songs made popular by female artists. It was hilarious. This fella looks like he just got off the rack at Jiffy Lube and walked on stage with his Blue Brothers squad x2. Take a look at this link for DAN and try to catch it on Bravo. Hilarious Jive!
