I took the dog out and looked up and the moon was the brightest I have ever seen it!!! It was really cool to see. I took a picture but it didn't come out anywhere near as cool. This probably has to do with the eclipse this morning.

Today was the first soccer game of the season. My team has a lot of new players so I wasn't sure how we would do. The other team wasn't that good and we ended up winning 4-2. I had an assist from a free kick way back on our side of the field. We played pretty good the thing we are struggling on is fitness. It will take a few weeks to get in shape. I even ran twice this past week to help prepare myself but I still need some more work.

Today my Flickr app passed 30,000 downloads! woohoo! The total is at 36,201 for all of my apps.

I went to the track tonight. First run was 14.4 @ 98. Second was 14.6 @ 97. The third run first gear was acting funny. I think my intake bogged out for a second so I ended up with a 15.3 @ 95. That will be enough of the track for a while.

Tomorrow I am working from home since the A/C at work broke today. It has broke every week for the past 3 weeks. Friday is Judy's surgery so I'll be taking care of her.

This weekend starts fantasy football. I am in 2 leagues. One draft is Friday night and the other is Saturday night. It's so much fun!

Looks like a flcikr wallpaper app for the Mac came out so lifehacker.com wrote an article about it and referenced my program for windows and another for linux. Normally I've been getting ~80 visitors to my rushfrisby.com site but after that I saw a spike of about 250+ for a few days. Yesterday someone on the German site, giga.de, linked to my program and today I saw the number of visitors jump to over 1000. By the end of the week it should have 30,000 downloads from my site alone. I can't keep track of all the other places it's downloadable from, but I'm guessing that it might have been downloaded another 5,000 times on other sites. It's funny to see the program get popular in a different country every few months. I usually get a steady flow of traffic from Brazil, Vietnam, and the US but then there are big spikes like this German one. Anyone want to take a stab at which country is next? It's a good think I optimized my site to load as fast as possible last week!



I probably have so many back links to my site now. I am waiting for the google page rank to jump up any time now but it's still stuck at 4. Maybe it's because I am getting links from other countries and google has page rankings pertaining to each country? Who knows, it's a mystery!

I am also thinking that I need to start on a good side project to try and make money for myself since I haven't had any freelance stuff in a while. I have a few ideas but they would all take a lot of time to build.

This is my car after some exhaust work. I got the Magnaflow catback exhaust and the Bassani off-road X pipe on there now. The video is really bad quality so that I could make the audio high quality.

Go to rushonerok.com to view the video.

I have my heart set on getting a tattoo exactly like this one!

I have a package coming in today. Normally I go to the UPS site to track the package but today I google'd the tracking number. They have a link that takes you to the tracking page. It's faster than going to the UPS site. Coolness!

Frank Wiles has the right idea. Do you?

Last night I watched Disturbia and I thought it was great. Tonight I might watch something else. I'll be posting a video of my car soon. I got the X pipe on and it sounds MEAN! I'll also have a video of our new counters up later in the week. They are being installed on Thursday.

I finally watched The Departed today. It was pretty good but I don't think it lived up to the hype I had heard about. I'm glad Colin Sullivan got shot in the end. I feel like Madolyn was having William's baby, not Colins. Even thought they didn't tell you it just makes the story better. I really didn't get a sense of hatred for Costello or Sullivan. I wish there would have been more character development on them so that you could develop a hatred for those characters. You also don't really know what exactly is driving William. Maybe I missed it? It just seems like he becomes a cop and then signs up to go deep undercover just for the hell of it. Also why did they guy that gave him the wrong address not tell anyone he was the rat? I think overall the story was good but some of it was missing.

I also watched 300 today. I don't think that it lived up to the hype either. Just another movie. I am looking forward to watching Number 23 since Jim Carey is going out of his generic comedy theme and doing something else. I'll probably get around to watching Blades of Glory this week too which I expect will be a very stupid comedy but those are always worth a few good laughs. Disturbia also looks like one I might get to watch this week too.

The Bourne Ultimatum came out this weekend so that will be a must see for next weekend.

I got the last book on audiobook today so now I have all of them on audiobook. I don't know if I should start listening to them or just wait for the movies? It makes the movies so much more fun if you don't know what happens I feel like.

I've also decided that waaaay down the road I want to paint my car. I want it to be orange. At first I was thinking "Hugger Orange" that is used on Camaro's but I think I might go with "Arancio Atlas" that is used on Lamborghini's. Maybe I'll do both? A Hugger Orange base coat with Arancio Atlas sprayed on top, followed by a clear coat. That would look HOT. I have a long long time to decide.

I've put my hit log online just for fun. It's cool to go through it sometimes. For instance I can tell the days when my dad is bored and goes to my site 8 times.
