They are so good that there is a secondary market.

Two Important Videos

In June we learned that my current diet will help save the planet. Now they are telling me that my fat is going to come in handy when I get arthritis.

Next, apparently I am running for President.

Overall it has been a good day.

They grow up way too fast…

Aaron, Jed and I flew Nathanael down to Tacoma today for EFY 2008. He will be there a week. On the way back Aaron got his first right seat experience. To quote Aaron, “Today was my best vacation day this summer.”

When I got home Mason asked if he could try moving dirt with the new tractor. I took a deep breath in and said, “Yes”. Turns out he is a natural behind the wheel of the tractor. To quote Mason, “This is way better than dirt bikes.”

Heuy Desk

I went to the Vancouver Wood Co-op today with Bob James. I saw this desk and knew I had to get it. I could not help myself. (Actually, Becca is right.) My current desk is too big for my new home office.

Anyway, this desk is made of 85% recycled materials. The wood is windfall Elm. The legs are the rotor blades off of an old Heuy Helicoptor. I cannot wait to move it into my office. First order of business is moving the existing desk to Ken’s office.

Thanks to Arron Kallenberg for this link. It is worth your time.

If this does not make you feel good…

see a doctor for a heart location exam.

Thanks to my brother Daniel for this one.

iPhone allows me to turn off 3G

David McInnis — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 23:32:01 +0000

This one is for Paolo. (Remember my Black Jack?)

The new 3G iPhone allows me to save battery life by downgrading to the Edge network when I do not need 3G. I am glad I found this in the settings because 3G was sucking the life out of my battery.

Other than that, only minor confusion on syncing with Mobile Me. iPhone push is still not a slick as Blackberry.

97 Copies Left

It amazes me that many, if not most, social progressives accept blindly that they sprang fourth from the loins of monkeys but lack the intellectual honesty and capacity to address their political and intellectual heritage. Jonah Goldberg in his tome, “Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning” addresses the fascism of the left.

I believe this is such an important book that I am going to buy you a copy if you are one of the first 100 people to make the request in writing. My address is:

David McInnis
PO Box 1416
Ferndale, WA 98248

First three copies have been requested by and are on their way to:

James M.
Mark E.
Richard B.

97 copies left. Jeremy, I will even send you a copy.

My Tractor Came Yesterday

David McInnis — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 17:29:01 +0000

That’s right, I got a tractor. Here is the picture before I took it out to clear some brush. Miles wanted a green tractor but orange is what I had as a kid.

PS Dad, I got the Diesel.

Two Miracles One Day

David McInnis — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 19:34:59 +0000

I count myself fortunate when I get to witness any miracle. But, two in one day….holy cow. My sister Elham was able to con this really nice guy into marriage. Congrats Elham. I really like Jess and was glad I could share this moment with you.

Then there is Poem in a dress. I have heard rumors of such a sighting in the past. But I was able to capture it on my camera. Feel free to send it out for photographic forensics. It is real.

If you want to see more photos I shot the evening of July 5, 2006 click here.

Ouch, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Work with the smartest people on the planet

David McInnis — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 14:44:03 +0000

Yes, the rumors are true. I am moving back to Whatcom county, WA. Actually I am on the road right now. We will be moving back into the old PRWeb facilities in downtown Ferndale in mid-July as soon as Vocus moves their employees to their new digs.

If you want to work with some of the smartest people on the planet and you live in Ferndale, WA (we may accept hampsters too) you need to submit your resume. Email it to me if you can figure out my email address. HINT, my name is David and I own the domain name, cranberry.com.

I am looking for LAMP developers and graphic designers. Your skills must be approaching that of a ninja or at a minimum your average Castle Monkey. Editorial and customer service staff will be ramped up shortly soon too.

Life Expectancy Now 78 Years Old

David McInnis — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 14:18:53 +0000

I caught the headline of the newspaper yesterday that the average life expectancy is now 78 years old in America. This is not good. We should be shortening the average life expectancy if we want to reduce our carbon footprint. What a conundrum. Legislation please. We must stop this whole living too long thing. Hey Al, pass the smokes.

Here are your new environmentalists.

Overweight people. See, I do care about the environment.
Smokers.
Alcoholics.
Gangs; think drive by shootings.
Anyone who puts their life in jeopardy.

More Liberal Fascism Run Amuck

David McInnis — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 05:51:35 +0000

When I read that Australia had made it illegal to use the incandescent light bulb I knew it was a matter of time before it was adopted here in the United States. Then at the beginning of the year I noted that Ireland had implemented the same law. It was inevitable then that it was destined to become a law here. Well, that day has arrived. In a move reminiscent of Mussolini’s fascist state, Congress has made your light bulbs illegal. That’s right, you need to burn out all of your incandescent bulbs by 2014.

I am reminded how my town of Ferndale passed a ban on big-box stores a week after Bellingham passed their ban. Worse, Ferndale did it without much, if any, input from residents. They just rubber stamped the action taken by Bellingham, WA. Well, this post is not about Bellingham.

I have nothing against saving the environment or using compact florescent bulbs (I have a house full of them). I do resent congress mandating what type of bulbs I can use in my home ostensibly to save electricity, especially when they are funding research into alternative fuels that produce electricity so that we can consume more–to fuel our electric or hybrid cars. Is anybody thinking about this stuff?

In the midst of the non-sense, here is one Congressman that has a sense of humor about the subject.

It is late and I have been driving my gas powered car for about 11 hours (12.5mpg highway). Going to bed now.
