Flying Dutchman Ghostly Gangplank – Mall of America
Yesterday was a lot of fun. Jessica and Tracey went up on the Flying Dutchman Ghostly Gangplank at the Mall of America. While they were climbing the ropes course, Abigail, my dad, and I hung out in Nickelodeon Universe below. This is by far the best deal at the Mall of America. For $5.95, you [...]
Mountain Biking Murphy Hanrehan
Today, Jessica and I went mountain biking in Murphy Hanrehan park with a couple of friends of mine (Samar Upadhyay and Adam Bavier). It was a great ride, just like most of the MORC trails. Jessica rode the beginner and intermediate loops with us, and to my surprise Adam and Samar were up for the [...]
Stonehenge Seating Wall
This is a Stonehenge style seating wall. Jessica and I had dreamed about building this for a while now. Originally, we thought it would be awesome to surround our patio with a stone bench like this one. Due to several reasons, we decided to go smaller. After we get the planters taken care of, it [...]
Happy 1st Birthday Abigail Pearson
Well, it finally happened, our little baby has turned one year old! It seems like just the other day that Jessica and I were creating videos for her a few hours before her birth. During the past year, Abigail has grown and changed so much. I cannot begin to describe just how proud I am [...]

Just a quick note, Jessica is being induced tomorrow morning! So we will be having our new little baby girl sometime tomorrow. The hospital does not have wireless internet, so no “live” blogging will take place , but you can expect an announcement sometime on Wednesday with all the details!
Securian Financial
During my final semester as a business minor / computer science major at Southwest Minnesota State University, I have been quite busy. Part of that busyness was in the form of job hunting. I had a few interviews, and received three job offers. It was a very hard decision, but I eventually decided on a [...]
Inaugural Ball Celebration
Well, I had a great time tonight at Governor Pawlenty’s Inaugural Ball this evening. It took place at the Hilton in Downtown Minneapolis. Below is my somewhat short summary of the activities. It began for Jessica and I at about 3:30 pm and went until close to midnight. We had both volunteered to help with [...]
Nikon Coolpix L3 – A great value camera.
About two years ago, I bought a DXG camera for my wife, Jessica. It was on sale at radio shack when we were in Sioux Falls, and she and I thought it would work great. After using it for a while, we noticed a few major quirks. There were two that were the most problematic. [...]
