Posting pictures on my blog

 

This is just a test to see how you post photos on your blog. I had a friend e-mail me saying she was having trouble posting photo to WordPress, so I am going to attempt it myself and see what happens. I have done this many times before, but WordPress is constantly being udpated.

Eureka will return July 29th and new X-files movie too

My favorite Sci-Fi television series will return on Tuesday, July 29th. That show is of course, Eureka, starring the guy who played Jack on Days of Our Lives many years ago (Collin Ferguson) and a bunch of other people including Matt Frewer as Jim Taggert (otherwise known as Max Headroom).

Eureka is in it’s third season. I am surprised it made it this far, usually good stuff gets canceled. I think this is actually a show that people who aren’t into Sci Fi like, and that’s why it is doing so well.  It’s not your typical nerdy show with aliens etc.

Which reminds me, my other favorite Sci Fi show, which was made into a movie once will again be gracing the big screen. I am of course talking about the X-Files. How freaking awesome huh? Actually, my wife is a bigger fan than I am. I can say that since she has a collection of Scully and Mulder dolls.

The new X-files movie will debut on the same day, so I will have to record Eureka and get a babysitter to go to the X-files movie.

First online pizza

Today my wife and I ordered pizza. Instead of grilling out for Father’s Day we decided pizza would be better. So, we went online to order the pizza. Being a tech guy, you think I would have done this years ago, but no I guess for pizza I was a traditionalist.

The process was pretty painless, accept for the paying part, yes it was easy but I didn’t care paying $17 for pizza. Although, for three pizza’s that is probably cheap.

I ordered from Domino’s since they are the closest pizza chain near my house. I would probably prefer some other chain, but that’s what I have to choose from for pizza. 

Domino’s site is kind of cool, you pick your location, then look at coupons and then select your order, including whether you want sauce or cheese (I didn’t think there was an option). 

It first shows a status bar or “pizza tracker” and shows the steps of getting the order, preparing it, then baking it, boxing it and then ready to pick up. 

I think I will probably be ordering more pizza online. 

 

Found a “new”place that has good food for less

My wife and I found a “new” place that’s similar to many of the places featured on Diners and Dives on the Food Network. I say “new” because it’s new to us, we’ve never been to this restaurant for meal. It’s just a small diner inside an old shopping mall, but the food is good and prices are reasonable. It’s old fashioned and they don’t accept any kind of credit or debit cards but that’s okay, they still take checks. The place is Del’s at the Grand Citie’s Mall in Grand Forks. The food is cheap, you can eat a full meal for less than a gallon of gas. The breakfast special which is eggs (anyway you like them) hashbrowns and a slice of toast plus coffee for $2.80. Just think a gallon of gas is now $4 or more. Of course there are many things that cost a lot less than this but a full meal for under $3 is amazing considering a cup of coffee at Starbucks costs more than a gallon of gas.
