I tried a new soda today while out on the road, Diet Cherry Chocolate Dr Pepper, and let me tell you… it tastes as bad as it sounds. Well, let me clarify… It’s not exactly bad. It’s just strange. It’s like you can taste the distinct flavors of chocolate and cherry and Dr Pepper all at once, but they don’t actually blend. It’s like three simultaneous tastes in your mouth. It kinda reminded me of one of those old Tootsie pops when you get through most of the candy shell and then had a flavor of chocolate combine with the lollipop candy.

Again, it wasn’t bad.. just strange. It’s not exactly something I want in a beverage form. I don’t see myself buying it again.

In other news, I really do feel bad for neglecting the blog so much in the past few weeks. I’m really going to try to post something at least every other day, and not just utterz or other things that forward to the blog, but actual content. I’ll get some more video up on Viddler or YouTube or maybe even Vimeo as well. I’ve just been so tired from work lately. I’ve come home fully expecting to get some projects done, but I always fall asleep and then it’s hard to get motivated. I took a two hour nap today. I did, however get some stuff done.

I’m in the process of migrating all of the church’s web stuff to a new server with a new domain name. I moved our podcasts over today. Actually, it’s still moving. There’s a few Gigabytes of data to transfer, so it will probably be going most of the night while I sleep. The other big thing is our picture collection as well as video. Lots of data. Thankfully we have a whole 1.5 Terabytes of storage space to fill up and about 15 Terabytes of transfer per month, so I think we should be good for a long long time. Check out bluehost.com if you’re in the process of looking for some great webspace. It’s cheap and they offer a whole lot.

I also uploaded about 50 or so photos to Flickr. You can check them out here. I had so many photos backlogged and waiting for upload, I just decided to do a bunch tonight.

Well, it’s almost 1:30 in the AM and I do have work at 7, and so I’m going to take my leave.

Peace be with you.
