So I finally recorded my Christmas lights. The recording is poor quality but you can get an idea of how it looks. Please ensure your speakers are turned on and the volume is up… so you can hear the music.

It’s not often I like sequels but a few nights ago we watch Clerks II and I could not stop laughing. The first one was good but WTF Elias one of the characters doesn’t want to have sex with his girlfriend because he is scared of Pillow Pants the Pussy Troll:

“Well we can’t because of Pillow Pants”

We actually had to pause the movie because we were laughing so hard. If you haven’t seen the movie yet… go rent it.

Watch it for yourself. (NSFW)

We hold the Unofficial World Record for Avatar Advertising

*most posts with an avatar advertisment in them - 247,877 posts* (as of 12/6/06 2:33 PM PST)

Avatar advertising… sound funny??? Sure it is but it can be effective if done on a large scale. I set out with a goal this morning. I wanted to have our holiday avatar for Site Sift Web Directory on over 100,000 posts on DP forums. It took me a couple of hours but now we have our avatar on 141,526 posts on the Digital Point Forums.

This advertising has resulted in a 99% market penetration on the webmaster forums.

Andrew said, “The avatars are everywhere I thought the forum had been hacked! I see that Site Sift is on every thread with the colorful avatars.”

I’m hoping by this time tomorrow we will be close to 150,000 avatars. If you would like to help out please use our holiday avatar found here: http://www.stuartmchenry.com/sitesiftavatarxmas.gif

I appreciate everyone’s help so far… maybe I will open up a new market for advertising.

*update someone has added us to digg

I finally got around to posting some PICS of our new place. I only took a few from the inside but you can see the:
-kitchen
-dinning room
-family room
-living room
-media room
-daughter’s room
-my bedroom (where the magic happens… I know I watch too many Cribs episodes)
-guest bedroom
-office
-laundry
-a few of the people that came to eat up my turkey dinner

We haven’t really been in too long and we still have some decorating to do as you can see.

I forgot to take some of the outside… but will soon. I got all my holiday lights up complete with music… so look for that posts in a few days.
