Volcan Fuego erupting over Antigua

My sister is in Guatemala and took this picture. Amazing how life seems to be during events such as this. When you could be facing the end of your life — or the possibility. Such that she took a picture when she was much closer a few weeks [...]

Dear Family and Friends,
We hope your holiday is merry and bright and that this letter finds you well and happy.
This year has been an eventful one for us, beginning with the arrival of our daughter Lily in January. Lily has big, blue eyes, is sweet and smiley and thinks Oscar is the funniest and most [...]

Portuguese Hymns

Thursday, December 22nd, 2005

I have found a site that has several LDS Portuguese Hymns. I would love to find something that contains all the Brazilian Portuguese hymns for Latter-Day Saints. It brings back strong and good memories of my mission in the Brazil, Londrina Mission. What a wonderful time of life? Striving to do what is right and [...]

Plugged In Online

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

Marlene discovered this website and we think it is great. It breaks down every movie into sections: sexual content, violence, profanity, drug and alcohol, spirituality, positive elements, and so forth. This website also includes music, TV shows, and other entertainement. Marlene googled looking for a description of “The Family Stone” and in a round about [...]

Firefox - Rediscover the Web
Excellent web browser! That’s it. Plain and simple. Better than Internet Explorer, even with the additions that Microsoft is now adding to the IE browser. I’ve tried them out and they don’t seem to work nearly as efficiently as the extensions of firefox. (Tabbed browsing is the future and they are [...]

blip.tv (beta)
If you are interested in hosting media files (Both WMA and QT files) this is an excellent free service that I have found to be very useful. It also is pretty clean, thus far from what I have seen. Don’t quote me 100%.
I have listed a link on the left-hand side of our family [...]

BBC NEWS | Business | Google ‘in exclusive AOL talks’

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

This seems like it might make AOL interesting again. I have had a bad taste in my mouth for awhile with AOL, but I love Google. I have also been really loving the Firefox 1.5 web browswer. Anyone that hasn’t switched from IE to firefox is really missing an opportunity for more excellent web browsing. [...]

Scandal for Cloning Embryos: ‘A Tragic Turn’ for Science - New York Times

Friday, December 16th, 2005

This is an interesting article about the ethical issues surrounding stem-cellresearch and the cloning articles that have come out in recent years (in particular the South Korean research).
Unfortunately, I find this an almost overwhelming debate about what we should do. But I find it disheartening that there is coming out some evidence that some of [...]

Oscar would just love this picture. He will love this little town. I remember my little town on a table at home for my many micro machine cars. Loved it. I wonder where those cars are now.
I enjoy Simonedc’s pictures that [...]
