My first in a series of reports was finally published to the website. It's pretty exciting. In completing the draft of the next report, I have already found some things I would change, but I'm not looking back. Onward and upward.

Check it out! Even just a quick look at the overall layout, Maps and figures and let me know what you think. Especially page 4 of the report, the tenth page in pdf.

David Archuleta
Okay, I know I'm lame, so here's a post about American Idol.
My wife and I watched the season when Carrie Underwood won. It was a lot of fun. I haven't watched any other season all the way through and frankly none of them seemed like they would have been worth it anyway.
I haven't been watching this time either, but I started hearing about a kid from Murray Utah that the Judges were really liking. I decided to check it out and I really like him. It'd be fun for someone local to go all the way to the end.
Here's some of his stuff, see what you think.

Style
My wife often laments how out of style we are. We are maybe starting to fall into that catergory of people who like the styles we thought were cool while in our prime, rather than all the new things that come along.
But can you blame us? Here is a photo from a recent fashion show.
Now tell me how that is better than anything I wear. Yikes!
I think I've figured out the formula to becoming a world famous fashion designer. Be absolutely nuts and ... well I guess that's it. It's a pretty simple formula. I don't think you even have to know how to sew. There's other people around to do that.

Today
Today I got a haircut and I shaved my beard.
Wow I'm boring. I read other people's blogs and they seem to have a lot more interesting stuff to write about. Plus the only person who actually reads me blog is this guy I became friends with on the bus to work. Hey man, how's it going? Having a good weekend? Anyway, maybe people are just better at finding the seemingly mundane things in their life and writing about them in a way that makes them seem really cool. For example, on guy I know wrote a post about his Super Nintendo game cartridges that he was organizing. How cool is that? Well let me tell you, it was pretty cool. Another was writing about how this dinosaur museum was really lame. I wish I was cool enough to go to a lame dinosaur museum.
Okay, so here it goes. I'm going to try to sound really cool.
I wrote a couple of songs a few years ago. Guitar accompaniment and everything, that I play. I know, I'm awesome. We'll I dusted the old mp3's off and guess what. I need to update my recordings. I've made some great changes to the songs since that time. So that's what I'm up to lately. I pulled out the guitar and I'm going to get ready for an all out recording session. Watch for the updated songs to hit the top of the charts soon.
So how'd I do?
I know, lousy.
But at least now I can continue to impress people by telling them about how I have a blog online. Seriously, people are like, "Wow! I've never met a real live blogger before."
Anyway, got to go. I have some songs to practice.

HD vs Blu Ray
The headline is that Blu Ray technology has won out over HD. I don't think that kind of technology is going to last long with flash drives becoming so popular. This was brought home to my wife and me while we were vacationing over the weekend. We were about fed up with the problems we were having with our portable dvd player. We both agreed that disks are too fragile and that a player with a usb port and a movie on a usb would be a million times better. I think I'll wait on running out to get a new blu ray disc player.
What do you think?

Beautiful Songs
There was a wonderful song sung at President Hinckley's Funeral that I had never heard before. It is now one of my new favorites.
My Shepherd Will Supply My Need
Just for fun, here is what is probably my favorite hymn if I had to pick just one.
Come Thou Fount
Just for fun, here is what is probably my favorite hymn if I had to pick just one.
