Read more...I have been playing around with Adobe Photoshop for a little over ten years. It seems like only yesterday I was running a Rage Against the Machine fan site and abusing the hell out of Photoshop filters. Back then, I couldn't have enough text engulfed in flames. It was a magical time. Fast forward to today and my photoshop skills haven't really progressed. I go through spurts where I will soak up a ton of PS knowledge, then not touch PS for months. When I do go back to it, I have forgotten everything I learned previously. Well, last week I sat down in front of PS again and began my dabbling. In my playing...

Read more...We can now scratch off Barton Springs from our to-do list. In the ten years I have lived in Austin, I can count on one hand how many times I've been to Barton Springs. It's kind of sad because this place is freakin' awesome. The water averages about 68 degrees all year round. In the winter, I'm told, it feels nice and warm. On our 100 degree Summer days, the water is nice and refreshing. We went on a day it was 102 degrees outside...and it was only 11AM. Originally, we had planned to spend the day at the Austin Ice Cream Festival but that ended up being horrible. You would think an Ice Cream...
Read more...Way back in 2000, a co-worker sent me a music video of a Indian pop singer. At the time I didn't know it, but his name was Daler Mehndi. When I first set eyes on the awesome 'Tunak Tunak Tun' video, I laughed my ass off. I had to have watched that thing a hundred times just that day. Every time, laughing at the cheesiness of it all. But soon, the laughter turned to amazement. It reminded me of all the things I love about the 80's, bright colors and good music. I started looking into other bhangra artists and I hit the mother load. I couldn't understand a single word they were saying but damn if it didn't...
Read more...I've been in my music listening mode today. It's a time when I just put my iPod on shuffle and listen to anything that comes on. No skipping allowed. There are certain lyrics that are popping out at me. Most of them are ones that I don't ever really listen to and others are ones that I've heard some much, I ignore. Some are inspirational, some are stupid, and some just make you go, wtf? I've pulled out some of my favorites and thought I would share them with you. DMX - Good Girls, Bad Guys F**kin with me? I have you in the back of the Chevelle Like what (what) hittin it raw dogg in the butt Kanye...
Read more...Until recently, I can honestly say I didn't know what true anger really was. I use to think being mad at someone was the same as being angry with them. But I'm finding out these are two, totally, different emotions for me. This new discovery came this past May while visiting my parents in Virginia. A few days before the trip, there was a little family drama that resulted in the end of a relationship. Although not intended, the results of that drama were my doing. When we got to Virginia, the topic came up before we even got back to the parent’s house. It started off as I expected it to, a little...
Read more...I'm a little slow in posting this...but better late than never. In 2003, Alev and I took our first vacation to Cali-forn-i-a. We flew into San Francisco and immediately drove to Los Angeles. The plan was too spend 3-4 days in L.A., then drive back to San Francisco to spend the rest of our time. I learned many things (in typical Rob fashion, some were expensive lessons) on this little trip of ours, and I want to share them with you. 1. Don't travel without a credit card... During the planning (by planning, I mean 10 minutes of web searches) of our trip, I found renting a car would be expensive...
Read more...We're using our weekends to get our to-do list done. Yesterday, we traveled to Llano, Texas to eat at Cooper's BBQ. There is no one place in Texas that has the best BBQ. But there are places that have the best of something. Cooper's is known for having the best pork chop, I wouldn't know because I still haven't tried it. For me, I really enjoy their sausage and BBQ sauce. Cooper's BBQ Pits MMMM Meat! To order your meat, you walk up to the pit and tell them what you want. As they gather your food, they dip it into a big pot of BBQ sauce and slap it on a tray. So tasty, I could just...

Hopefully, you stayed around and read some of my entries. This is going to be an ongoing thing, so if you didn't make it this month, there is always August.
