John McCain: "The Mavrick"

This sign cracked me up during John McCain's speech at last night's Republican National Convention. It was shown just a few seconds after John McCain's charge to "Teach an illiterate adult to read."



Other people thought this was funny, too...check out the Mavrick group on Flickr!

So, it had to be done. John McCain: The Mavrick

Home Sweet Trailer


Home Sweet Trailer, originally uploaded by chrisfreeland2002.

This is the trailer I lived in when I was 6mos. to 3 yrs. old. We built a house on the site the summer of my 3rd birthday and someone came and drove the trailer away. It was odd to watch the only place you knew as 'home' leaving you behind.

Tech Honesty


Tech Honesty, originally uploaded by chrisfreeland2002.

We have no idea what we are doing today!
Actually, we just installed a new ticketing system that we are still learning. Thanks for bearing with us, the view is worth it!

I'm not sure whether to applaud the folks who made this sign for their honesty or cringe that it was created in the first place. Why do ticketing/POS implementations so frequently stumble out of the gate??
