Omaha Tempest

Posted by Juicio on June 28th, 2008

As you all probably know, a terrible storm came through Omaha yesterday, Friday, June 28th, and did some pretty incredible damage to the city. Our neighborhood is filled with century old trees and was pretty hard hit. Fortunately, everyone we know as well as us are okay. Our fence has seen better days, but looking […]

We’re Moving!

Posted by Juicio on March 11th, 2008

We are beginning the process of moving to a new server tonight and propagation will probably take a day or two. Sorry for any inconvenience or hiccups this may cause.
Update: Yay! Moved and without a hitch! Welcome to the new/same old site.

Cheney Booed At Baseball Game

Posted by Juicio on April 13th, 2006

Oh, Cheney. Now you can’t even go to a baseball game without being booed.
Perhaps it has to do with your failed administration or how you misused intelligence to take us to war or how you destabilized the Middle East. But I think it is more about image. Really, what you need is […]

Why I Hate April Fool’s Day

Posted by Juicio on April 1st, 2006

Because nothing you see is real.
Maybe other news addicts will understand. It’s a wasted day because tomorrow you find out that half of the stories that you read are false and the other half are deathly true, but you did not care because you thought they were pranks. It must be a great […]

No Body Armor for You!

Posted by Juicio on March 31st, 2006

In the continuing saga of military equipment issues, the army has reached an all new low. Army officials have banned the use of privately bought armor. You probably remember all the fund drives and protests for more body armor that have occurred over the past few years. I know many organizations here […]

Intelligent Design Nixed in Ohio Schools

Posted by Juicio on February 17th, 2006

Last Tuesday, the Ohio Board of Education voted 11-4 to remove science standards and lesson plans that encourage students to seek evidence for and against evolution. The critics of the material believed it was an open door to teach intelligent design, a fancy word for Christian creationism. Marth Wise, a critic of the […]

Hotlinking: Naughty Naughty

Posted by Juicio on February 4th, 2006

So, it seems as Leaving Only Footprints continues to get more and more popular, so does its images. Last month, I noticed that my visitor stats were kind of funky and discovered dozens of sites linking to just my pictures. This is called direct linking or hotlinking. Instead of hosting an image […]

Firefly Season 2 Project

Posted by Juicio on January 27th, 2006

When Matt brought me the first season of Firefly on DVD, I thought it was just going to be another crazy sci-fi series. After the first two episodes, to my surprise, I fell in love. I have not seen a sci-fi series this good since Star Trek: The Next Generation and Stargate: SG-1. […]

Free 411 Service

Posted by Juicio on December 21st, 2005

I hate sounding like I’m advertising something, but this service seems pretty cool. I know I get tired of paying $1 every time I need to find a phone number. And it’s nearly impossible to find a phone book in public anymore. Now, you can just call 1-800-FREE411.
By listening […]

The Bush Administration Drama Queens

Posted by Juicio on December 10th, 2005

Last Thursday at the U.N. Climate Change Conference, the U.S. delegation staged a dramatic walkout in order to ‘scuttle’ the negotiations. They stated it was in response to Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin’s Wednesday remark, “To the reticent nations, including the United States, I say there is such a thing as global conscience, and […]
