This movie was shot in 3B, three beers and it looks good, ehh? -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Sad to say...there are issues with the Homer, it may be a no go, still thinking. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Sorry to disagree here Ivan, but I thought it was pretty sucky. It did not live up to Desperado or El Mariachi. The only time there was really anything cool or Selma was in flashbacks. Johnny Depp's character went from smartass, to mythical-in-touch-with-the-sound-around-him gunslinger. Which is all fine and good, Desperado was not that realistic either...but it had awesome fight scenes. Half the gunfights in this one were a frame of him spraying and praying, and then a frame of bad guys falling down. It was just too much. Don't get me wrong still better than Uptown Girls or something, but no Desperado. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

I never actually said that.... oh btw, Curtis is good to go Thursday night. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

It is possible...I will bring several varieties of inflatables... -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

BAH...excuses... It's a freaking tailgate... -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Why not do your first tandem out of the CASA ?

That is Ed. Flown with him once or twice...pretty amazing that he is still flying actually. Have not flown with him in a long while, but I assume he is. John still jumps regularly at Eagle Flight and Skydive Dallas and is as nice a guy as you will ever meet. Not sure who McElfish is, but Bob is still a master rigger for the USAF, and congrats to his son, Aron...he just went off to the USAFA, and will probably be on their first freefly team. Those guys are great! Those are the kind of guys that fostered me into the sport as I got off the dope rope. I have jumped Kim Fuller's Mk1. PC, and listened to his stories of the JUMA jumpers. I would love those days, but the malfunction rate was pretty high. Kim says practical jokes were so bad, people would lock their rigs in the car between jumps

Just quoting...dont shoot the messenger "Guess they want us to be like all the hippies down in Austin, wearing orange and sipping tea." -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

I think there is a brownie = little girl joke in there somewhere, but I cannot find it. At very least, who do they think took the picture? -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

I have no experience to base this on, but I am gonna call no joy on the sub $100 900Mhz transmitter. Remember the last 900Mhz cordless you had? If you are using 900mhz, I would not even bother with upgrading your DAC / soundtrack...I would worry about reception. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

True to a degree...some streaming solutions use their own DAC, thus eliminating any issues with the quality of DAC on the soundcard. Some even use USB to transfer the files to the device, thus eliminating a network connection. But still at some point you have to connect to get new files. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Well, these days I jump at Eagle Flight Skydiving, primarily, Aggieland and Dallas secondarily. At EF, I love the old time 'club with a plane' feel. I get to hang out with people like Kim Fuller, Doc Stewart, Ed Duncan, John Hale, Bill ?Oenke?, Bob Necessary, and even sometimes a guy named Ingo from Germany. I sm sure there are others I am not thinking of. But these guys have stories from the days of Seagoville, Gainesville, Ennis and 'Slavo Air'. I love to hear how jumping evolved in Texas. We have a picture of the "SWA" load next to our winds aloft board. And I have been told that at the very least rumor has it that the CEO of SWA has the picture in his office.

Well there are several pretty decent solutions for streaming, etc. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/mp3/379c/ But still at least on an occasional basis you will need to connect them to your network for new files. The same goes for a PC built just for this purpose, although there are some nice cases out there. So questions: 1) How will supply it with access? going wireless is really not that expensive. 2) What else do you want it to do? Perhaps a creative solution would be a hacked Xbox? Running *nix on a chip, with a big hard drive, you can get DVDs, MP3s, AND a game console for $300-400 -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Happy birthday... First birthday this year? BEER! -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

You know who we need? That guy with purple horns on his helmet. What was his name? Steve something other...was on some zoo loads with AggieDave and I at the first AOTMB, back when we were 'not quite stable'

I'm in...Thurs night to sometime Sunday. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Awesome article, thanks for the post. I think it is still there in some places. I have been in the sport 3 or 4 years, with a few hundred jumps. Do you jump at your DZ for the plane or the people? I love small 182 dzs. 2 of the 3 dzs I jump at regularly, I leave my wallet, camera gear, etc laying around. But then again, where I jump Paracommanders still fly, and I have jumped them. Where I jump, you can still hear stories about the old days that make you laugh, and scare the crap out of you. I can trade stories with jumpers who knew McGowan before anyone had heard his name, jumpers who flew with Jerry Byrd, jumpers who used to convert a passenger Twin otter into a jump plane and back every weekend, jumpers who barely missed a SWA jet over Dallas, etc. Jumping is all about the people, and if you miss the old days, you hanging out with the wrong crowd of people. I love nostalagia, and think that remembering is the best way to preserve our sport. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Wicked sweet pics dude...I love it. Good ole 182 dropzone fun. Those are sweeter to me than any sychronized four way shot. Love it....congrats. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Agreed, no point in sticking with Network Solutions since they are no longer a monopoly. Go Daddy works well. If you are looking for a good host, scope out www.myprohost.com Very friendly, cheap, and you can run anything you want, PHP, mod_perl, shopping carts, forums, etc, etc. If you are interested, let me know, I will speak with John, they headman, he is a real nice guy. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

whoa....you didn't know sorry, just giving you a hard time...a such a devoted fan. (I just searched IMDB ) -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

King Kong? or Long and Short of it? -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Most really good movies, have a large degree of realism in them. Easy Rider could pratically be a documentary. Tolkien and LOTR just kicks ass anyway you cut it. Jackson has got to be one of the best filmmakers of all time to do what he has for this epic. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

None, I use myIE2 browser, with a much more customizable blocker. FYI, for those in enterprise situations....google bar tries to circumnavigate your proxy setup. It is not smart enough to go through the proxy. It will slow all web traffic to a crawl on the machine as it tries to contact the 'mothership' We just don't allow it at work. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Yeah, Peter Jackson actually got a bit of a kick out of drawing on the old 'dracula' days of Lee, I saw that somewhere. Who says Gollum is evil? I think that could be a very long running debate. Personally, I think he is far from evil. And, for those who did not now, although obviously txblondie will , Sirkus was supposed to only be his voice. When he was recording he got so into the character of the voice, they decided to do motion capture. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.
