Addict-o-matic
I stumbled across Addict-o-matic one day while searching on Google. It's been my favorite website since. From their site:
Addictomatic - Inhale the Web
Addictomatic searches the best live sites on the web for the latest news, blog posts, videos and images. It's the perfect tool to keep up with the hottest topics, perform ego searches and feed your addiction for what's up, what's now or what other people are feeding on.
Search. Personalize. Bookmark.
After you search, you can personalize your results dashboard by moving around the source boxes. When you're done, bookmark the page and keep coming back to your personalized results dashboard for that search.
Newsfix
Our newsfix pages provide the latest headlines on topics such as entertainment, politics, shopping, sports and more. You get all the feeds from the best sources in each category. And like your search results dashboard, you can personalize the layout of the headline boxes, delete ones you don't like and bookmark your personalized page.
My favorite feature is the Newsfix. I'm a news junky. Whether I'm on the computer, watching TV, or using my cell phone, I'm always reading the news. There's a link to Addict-o-matic on my Links page so you can visit often. Enjoy!
Wedding Update
Here's the latest on the wedding:
- It will be on September 13, 2008 (which will also mark six years of dating).
- It will be at St. Francis of Assisi in Blairsville.
- The reception will be at mom and dad's afterwards.
- We don't know where we're going, so we're open to suggestions.
- We want to continue the wedding theme of "Inexpensive."
- We'll probably end up driving, so we'd like it to be somewhat close to Georgia.
- We don't want to stay in a hotel. A villa or a cabin would be preferable.
I've added a "Wedding" category. If you only visit on occasion and want to read any wedding updates I've posted, just click "Wedding" to the right.
My Current Wallpaper
I love to photograph nature, especially flowers. I like to get down in the dirt and take the picture from an angle that you wouldn't get to experience if you were just walking by. The desktop wallpaper on my computer is always changing between my favorite photographs. This picture was taken at the Kennesaw National Battlefield Park. Michelle and I spent part of the day at one of the large fields having a picnic and throwing a frisbee. The large fields are actually where some of the Civil War battles took place. It's odd that people go there and have picnics, but at the same time there aren't many other places in the area to enjoy a picnic.
Michelle tossed the frisbee a little too hard, and the wind caught it and took it into a tree on the opposite side of the road. I had to climb through a briar patch to get to the frisbee. When I got through I noticed a beautiful opening in the woods covered in little purple flowers. It would have been the perfect place for fairies and the like to gather. I crawled back through the briars after retrieving the frisbee, only to climb back again with my camera. I took plenty of pictures, but this is one of my favorites. Click on it to get the full sized picture (perfect for a desktop wallpaper). You'll notice in the full sized picture all of the pollen covering the leaves and petals.
I've added a couple of features to my website. At the bottom of each post and page you'll notice a "Share This" link. Clicking the link will open a pop up menu that enables you to share a link to the post through a number of services including Facebook, MySpace, Google, Yahoo, etc. There is also now a link to the right under the links called "Subscribe". Rolling your mouse over the link will let you subscribe to my RSS feed through every imaginable RSS reader.
