Twitter usage FAIL

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

Last night, my wife had one of the most hilarious conversations on twitter I have ever seen. A friend of hers had signed up for a twitter account earlier in the day and just followed her.  He also chose to turn on the option to receive tweets as text messages.
I have included the timeline unedited [...]

Pictures from Volcanoes National Park

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Here are the pictures for Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii. About 1/3 of the park was closed while we were there due to heavy sulfer dioxide levels. Other then that it was really cool.

We took some time around the Kilauea Caldera, Thurston Lava Tube and drove down Chain of Craters Road (which drops almost 2000 [...]

Underwater Pictures From Hawaii

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

I’ve finally gotten around to processing and uploading my pictures from Hawaii. I’ve uploaded the first of 3 sets to  Flickr this weekend. Take a look and let me know what you think.

The Big Hawaiian Post

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

OK, I have been terribly remiss in getting back to posting after vacation. I know. Here’s my excuse. We flew back Saturday night on an 11pm flight out of Kona. Somehow, I managed to stay awake all night over the Pacific Ocean and only dozed a little on the flight from Phoenix. When we [...]

The worst part is that the top 3 hits on Google for “sean lavelle sucks” are a post on this blog, this blog’s front page and then my resume.  Having a low self esteem moment…

On Quitting Smoking

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

I’ve been a smoker for a long time.  I think I was just around 16 when I started. Back then, it was rebellious and cool. The problem has been has become that it is no longer rebellious or cool, plus it is crazy unhealthy and my wife hates it. I don’t even enjoy it that [...]

The Christmas Truce

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

During World War I, troops on both sides spontaneously stopped fighting on Dec 24 1914 in what would become known as the Christmas truce:
The truce began on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1914, when German troops began decorating the area around their trenches in the region of Ypres, Belgium, for Christmas. They began by placing candles [...]

The 999 Challenge at LibraryThing

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

This week I decided to join in the 999 Challenge at Library Thing. The challenge is to read 9 books in 9 different categories in 2009. That’s a total of 81 books over the course of a year. I was really kind of leery about this one because as it stands, I don’t think I [...]
