Ace and I missed the 2nd Annual Texas Long Distance Shootout boomerang tournament in Houston this year. Ace was not able to defend his junior championship from last year. Hopefully we’ll make it back in 2006. I’m happy to report that a Boomerang Association of Dallas (BAD) member was the champion. Congratulations, David Hirsch, for throwing 126 meters! Full results are here on the BAggressive site.
We had a big bash for my 40th birthday, but also to get some of our North-side pals down to finally see our new new place and enjoy some outdoor activities. We had a fantastic turnout (over 40 folks!), and over my protests of “No one needs to bring gifts”, lots of folks chipped in and got me a fantastic birthday present: An excellent telescope, the SkyQuest XT8 IntelliScope
The Boomerang Page has been totally redesigned. Instead of one giant page with everything I have split it into several sections. There are several new boomerangs scanned in, too.
The hit counter seems to be working correctly now. (The reason
it wasn’t working is that I was manually copying files to my web server
directory. When I started using FrontPage’s “Publish Web” function, it
started working like a beauty.) I also created a custom counter graphic to make
the counter match the style of the rest of the site. See the bottom of this
page.
I cleaned up the links page a bit and sorted my favorite links
into categories since Aaron finally bought a DVD player.
I added the old “Falls Creek” photos to the
Miscellaneous section of the Photos page.
I created a DVD Page that is
now accessible from the links page.
Right now the Games
link is about the only one with any content. And when you get to that page
you’ll see that the custom game content (tracks, levels, paint jobs) that is meant to
be there isn’t there
yet.
This is the beginning.
I’ve worked out what I basically want things to look like. I’m
pretty satisfied with the navigation bar on the left, but I want to change it to
be expandable/collapsible. For instance, you click on “family” and the
under that appear buttons for Bruce, Michelle, Andrew and Holly. I expect it
will be pretty hard to have this and the “glow when the mouse passes
over” effect simultaneously. We’ll see…

Some people have asked what all I’ve used to get this site
up-and-running. I hope to provide a detailed description some day, but for now,
use these links:
