Educational Time Waster
Ever been sitting around at work or at home and wanted an educational time waster? Well search no further! I ran across this game on one of the many sites I check every day. It's called: "Questionaut"
Now...the premise is pretty easy, but I can't share it with you because it would lose some of the excitement you'd get from figuring it all out and watching it all unfold.
Just head to the "Questionaut Website", wait for it to load (you need Flash), click Play, and go from there.
I can say that the art is really beautiful and the music is just as complimentary. It contains 8 educational levels and is so enjoyable I wish that it would continue on for hundreds more!
Enjoy!

Spring Swim Phone Call
So the annual JQ99 First Swim of the Spring is this Saturday. This is the 13th Spring Swim we've done and we're trying to make it the largest swim ever. So big in fact, that we've tried to bring in celebrities...however, we've been unsuccessful.
It was my job to contact President Bush...I recorded the phone call...take a listen...
I know that he means well and unfortunately he's just way too busy to come to Spring Swim, but maybe you're not. Grab a release form and pledge form over at JQ99.com and join us this Saturday, March 22nd!
See you there!

Look UP!
Look up...what do you see? Well, you either see the kid looking up with a big green arrow, a goofy drawing of myself, or you see a very cool blue banner telling you what we're playing on JQ99 right now!
How cool is that! It's called: Yes.com
A very cool tool for radio stations and their listeners! It allows us to provide our listeners to view previously played songs, chat with other listeners, vote on songs, purchase the songs through iTune, and MORE!

Spring is Here!
Alright...so maybe according to the calendar it's not quite spring...but it is for me. I think everyone has a tell tale sign that signifies the beginning of Spring. I know that for my mom and grandma it was the first sighting of a Robin.
Anyway...we've got some sunshine in the forecast this weekend and yesterday I had my Spring...and Shamrock Shake from McDonald's. My all time favorite milk shake!
Yeah check that out...ever seen that guy before? I never have but he apparently exists. He's related to Grimace...the big furry purple guy. Apparently the story is that Uncle O'Grimacey hides away for 11 months out of the year, and always comes to visit Grimace and the other McDonald friends, and brings the Shamrock Shakes with him. Although I guess he's been M.I.A. for a number of years. Don't believe he's real? Check this out!

Here's what I accomplished this morning...
Okay...before I get to what I accomplished this morning, let me say that I'm very sorry for those who work with me.
Here's what went down. We've got a snack drawer here at the station and it got filled this morning. Now, it's usually filled with items like, chocolate, chewy candy, more chocolate, suckers, and more chocolate. Well after much consideration they've starting adding healthier items like, nuts, crackers, and microwave popcorn.
Keeping that in mind, here I am, I finished my healthy breakfast which consisted of me dipping apple slices in my vanilla yogurt and still have a hankering for a tasty treat. So I made my way to the recently filled snack drawer and grabbed a microwave popcorn packet.
In the past, I've just pushed the "Popcorn" button and my popcorn has come out amazingly good. So...this morning I did the same thing to come back to microwave and found this:
Oops...oops...oops...oops!That's right, I burned the popcorn...and I burned it GOOD! There wasn't a single piece that could be salvaged, every single kernel bit the dust as it was.
I'm not sure if someone in your home or office has ever accomplished such a feat but man it smells in here today...and not in a good way.

13 again...
What a weekend! I don't remember actually getting out of the house much, but it sure was enjoyable.
Yesterday night I had youth group again and I experienced something I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing since I was in Middle School. Now, since I'm 26 and when you're in Middle School you're usually what, 12 - 13? So...a little math in the head...
Got it! Until yesterday, it was 13 years ago since I last played "Four Square"! Wow!
So here's how it went down, last night was Youth Group and it was a fun night and as I walked into the gym I noticed a group of kids playing "Four Square" and I immediately jumped in.
There I was waiting in line, just knowing that the wealth of skill I once had 13 years ago would come flooding back...but alas, in my old age my spryness has faded. Although I had a good time, I was not the killer "Four Square" player I once was. Oh well.
So...if there's anyone else out there looking to relive those Middle School days, here's Wikipedia's explanation of "Four Square"!
See you on the court!

What is going on here...
Okay...I am only 26 years old. That's it! (and yes, I drew that)
Now...I'm not saying that it's bad or anything, but why on Earth did I find 2 gray hairs on my head this week!?
Maybe there is something to the myth...you know, the one that says for every gray hair you pluck out, 2 more grow in it's place.
Well about a month or so ago I plucked one out, and then this week...2! I'm not old, am I?
Not sure if this has happened to you or not, but it's not a great feeling. I was fine with my bad knees, sore shoulder, the other body aches, and being tired all the time, but this is really...kind of...a step too far, and too quick!
Anyway...that's my experience this week. Could it be stress? If so...man I need to relax!
Oh well...I guess that's that...I'm old...it's all downhill from here, unless...WAIT! I've got it! I'll start tracking down a hairstyle that looks good gray! Now...which celebrity should I model myself after? Hmmm.

I'm back! Time for School!
Well, I'm back...actually, I put in a day's worth of work on Friday. Got to tell you that it's not a bad idea to come back from vacation at the end of a week, because then you get the weekend, and you don't have to come back for a full weeks worth of work!
Anyway...back to the 'ol grindstone. It's going to be interesting...not only am I back to work today...but I start my class. It's an intro to computing class and is required in order for me to attend all those Web Design classes.
It's an online class...never taken one of these before, could be the best thing ever...but it could be the opposite. I'll let you know. All I can say is that, it's kind of exciting and in a way I'm proud to be going back for furthering education.
If you've never done it, or you've considered it...I highly recommend it. I'm very proud of those that are taking the class with me...some of them are single parents attending college for the first time! I can't imagine! Good luck to us all!
I'll try and bring you more posts in the near future...some about school...others about whatever. In the mean time, enjoy the 50+ degree weather we've got today and tomorrow.
