Don't do this

I know I'm about to commit a sin; never release your ideas for an internet website before you've at least registered the domain name. But here I go. I'm thinking about creating a 'Vegas for Families' web site. It would be updated daily with news stories, reviews, and travel tips for families. I'd like it to have a family rated discussion board feature and a chance for guests to contribute their reviews and ratings for various family activites here in Vegas.

bowling for tourists

Went bowling with the Pretners tonight. Had a good time, but I hate all that smoke. I can't seem to get my game over the hump of 130 points. It might be because I'm a straight bowler, I've never learned the old spin trick that everyone else uses.

I think Vegas is a city in conflict with itself. There are the hick/country types who openly scoff at all us more cosmopolitan folks. We, on the otherhand, can't wait for them to turn their backs so we can rag on their style and backwards attitudes. Usually these two elements don't interact, but bowling alleys seem to be a common ground. Certainly not Starbucks.

So long and thanks for all the fish...

As you might recall Douglas Adams who penned the Hitchikers Guide to the Universe and the Dirk Gently series (my favorite detective) passed on to the other world recently. However, his handwriting has been saved for all posterity in a font on this page.

A couple of interesting links. First ZZZ online appears to have some interesting stories. Notably, this story on Powerskips. Yes, the same fun bouncy things used in the Eureka parade at DCA. Now, I know what I want for Christmas.
