Super Tuesday Morning...

Well, today is the big Super Tuesday. Voters in 24 states are going to at the very least narrow down the playing field for the 2008 presidential election. I was reading a CNN article about Super Tuesday which stated an interesting fact about the state of Missouri.

"Missouri is one of the nation's most reliable bellwethers in presidential politics. For the last century --1904 to 2004 -- it has voted for the winning presidential candidate in every election but one: going for Adlai Stevenson over Dwight Eisenhower in 1956."

I hope for record voter turnouts across the nation today. Please do your research and don't let the media polls or peer pressure sway your vote. Stick to your gut and vote for the person that you would honestly like to see as our next president. This is our chance to express our inalienable rights as citizens of the United States of America. Let your voice be heard and get out and vote!

How to get AdBrite to work on your Office Live Basics website

Well, this turned out to be easier than I originally thought it would be.

1. Create a separate blank .html file in notepad named adbrite.html
   
2. Paste your AdBrite code into the adbrite.html file and save it
   
3. Upload your adbrite.html file to your Document Gallery in your office live basics account
   
4. Add a HTML module to your office live basics page where you want the AdBrite ad to be placed
   
5. Put an < iframe > inside the HTML module like this (note that size of iframe will differ depending on what size ad you are placing, and be sure to replace 'your_domain_name_here' with your actual domain name... in my case it was 'tubeforme.com')
   

   < iframe src="http://your_domain_name_here/Documents/adbrite.html" height="100" width="800" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" > </iframe>

   
   

And there you have it. You can now put AdBrite ads on your office live basics pages. This same method works for many other things you might want to embed into your site. Using the same method above I was able to get my statcounter code to work for office live basics. It will also work for google adsense ads. I hope this helped.

A St. Louis rarity in this day and age...

We went out to eat last night around 6:15pm... we decided to grab a St. Louis rarity in this day and age... the newly opened Wendys in St. Peters, MO... It has been non-stop packed traffic to this restaurant... every time we drive by the drive through line is out into the the street and all the spots in the parking lot are full. You look into the windows and you can see almost every table is full of people and a long line to wait in to order. People are drinking their vanilla and chocolate Frosties and enjoying their 99 cent Jr. bacon cheese burgers with 99 cent small fries.

The three of us got 7 items and 2 waters for at total of $7.13! Gotta love Wendys!
2 Jr. Bacon Cheese Burgers,
1 Spicy Chicken sandwich,
1 Yogurt Cup (with granola)
1 cup of mandarin oranges,
1 small fries
1 baked potato
2 waters

Camera phone pictures from the zoo.

My first experience at the zoo with my daughter. We got to see the feeding of the sea lions... that is always a fun event. You have to love the free Saint Louis zoo!

 
 
I was able to go to the Royals / Cardinals game Tuesday night in St. Louis... unfortunately, the Royals didn't have as much luck as they did Monday night and the Cardinals won 5-1. The game the next night was even crazier... the Royals were winning until St. Louis tied it in the 9th and then St. Louis ended up winning it in the 14th inning. Almost Royals!

Wow, I just heard about the 13th ever in baseball history unassisted triple play performed by Colorado rookie shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. I did a search on youtube and could only find one video of an unassisted triple play. Sure doesn't happen often.

Well, it has been awhile since I posted again... I have started a weekend job of maintaining a website... yikes! Hopefully it wont take up all my weekend time. Anyhow, the site is http://pixelspotlight.com/. It took me a long while to come up with a domain name that I liked and hadn't already been taken... so lets hope this site takes off. :)

Linking my network of PB Wiki's together...

I have created a logo for this network of PB Wiki's... I am hoping this grand network of PB Wiki's will help increase the traffic to all the PB Wiki's I work on. Visit the network here: Matt's Wiki Network!

Icy fountain left on all year round.

This is quite an amazing view every year when it gets below freezing... the water keeps going and these layers of ice form around it. It almost looks like someone soaped the fountain until you realize that it is ice pilled up around the shooting water.

Sammy and Lady video

This is a video of my two dogs one night after they ran around outside a bunch. Don't they look exhausted? So lovable when they are exhausted and wanting to just do nothing but lay around. I wish they could always be that relaxed.
