Went to the Seamobile Holmdel Earth Station to install a decoder for college football games.

Here's a map of the location - if you look at the 'hybrid' or 'satellite' views, you should easily be able to see the dishes there. ** Here's the link to view it **

Figured this out...

I think this is Gio's second run at the Baco contest in October. I just learned how I can post videos here, so this is mainly a test. Enjoy!

Just added some previously misplaced pictures from the TIDES demonstration at the Pentagon. Nothing top-secret, though... They're in the photo gallery ** HERE **

At the MYBA St. Maarten Charter Show this week. That's YACHT show, darling...

Speaking of bluetooth GPS doo-dads...



How's this for a 'you are here' photo?

New goodies! I got a bluetooth gps that allows me to use my cell phone as a navigation device. Nice because I usually have the phone on me anyhow. It also allows me to post where I am at on a google map. The little map to the left shows where I'm at in the world right now. Pretty cool, as long as I remember to keep everything charged up.

I uploaded some pictures from the Baco A Go-Go contest on Friday. *** Click here for the pictures ***

I had trouble uploading the videos here, but they're on my Youtube page now - do a search for my username: jakekooser and they should be available soon.

*** Edit, stupid Jake just could have added a link, like this one.***

Updated!

Pictures of the TIDES project setup

I'm in Washington DC right now for a demo called TIDES - a project to restore infrastructure to places that have been destroyed by war or natural disasters. I'll be here for 2 weeks total so I brought my bike up with me and have been riding around the area like crazy. I took a 'bike the sites' tour of the monuments in the area on sunday and I put some pictures up >>> here.<<<

This is the official tides poster.

This is kinda cool:

I found this through my friend Brad's MySpace page.

I just finished closing on my new house! I can move in starting Monday - the seller is having a huge yard sale and should have the place cleared out by Monday afternoon at the latest. Guess this means I really have to pack all my crap and move it. Fortunately, I'm keeping the house I have been in and renting it out by the room, so I won't have to really rush to get out of here.

New tub and tile at 'old' house

Both my new roommates are out of town so it's a good time to trash the place and re-do things.

I'm getting the bathroom in my 'old' house re-done right now. I had previously ordered the tub and both my roommates are currently out of town, so the time was right to jump on it. The dude's about 2/3 of the way done with it right now, and I should be able to use it again on Wednesday or so... I just added some pictures here.

Should also be able to close on my refinance by then, and the 'new' house got fumigated this weekend for termites and everything should be cool there.

I went to the house I am looking to buy again yesterday for a home inspection. This time, I remembered to take a picture of the living room. I also saw the laundry room and the original electrical panel. The inspectors say it looks good overall. Got some more pictures starting with THIS.

Got a new countertop in my kitchen! I also made an offer on a new house and it got accepted, so I'll be looking for suckers, I mean volunteers, to help move soon...

The US Air Force Thunderbirds were flying past my office, practicing their formation for the SuperBowl on Sunday...

Ok. The 'subscription' link is actuallying work now. Now you can use the subscription to get email updates when this page changes. Note, it only notifies you if the blog section (the part you're reading now) changes, not the other pages. I'll try and remember to put a note in the blog if I change anything else.

If you hadn't noticed, the whole site has been pretty much re-done while I've been home recuperating from my broken ankle. The Gallery's still a bit funky, but I should be able to get that sorted out soon.
