With a little bit of tweaking I was able to get my website to only use 100% valid HTML, CSS, and RSS code. What does this mean to you? NOTHING, but for me it means that I know how to write good web code.

Yippie, I'm now the proud uncle of Noah Schreck! .

Just wanted to say "HI" from the west coast. Right now I'm sitting in a lovely wicker rocking chair, in a charming bed and breakfast, a block away from beautiful Venice Beach. HAHA, you should be jealous... OK gotta get to sleep, long day at the beach tomorrow.

I want to share with you the one of the most powerful music videos I've ever seen. It effectively bridges modern industrial and with classic introspective country music. Johnny Cash does something remarkable with Trent Reznor's Hurt that is rare in cover songs, he not only makes it his own, but he reinterprets the song and makes it seem like it could never be sung by another. Here take a look at the video for Hurt .

Happy Saint Patrick's Day !!!

A few days ago I experienced a new and exciting taste sensation. Well maybe it really wan't 'new' but it was different. For the truly lazy in the world I give you Smuckers Uncrustables , pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. These are frozen sandwiches with the crust already cut off. Hell this is even easier than that premixed peanut butter and jelly, Goober (man that's a good name for something to eat). That's all, Thanks for the new sensation Sue.

Dude , yer gettin' a lot more than a Dell.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds...and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of...wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. - 'High Flight' by John Gillespie Magee, Jr. I wept in 1986 as a child, now I do it again as a man. Goodbye and Godspeed.

I no that most of you have no idea what an RSS feed is, but anyway. I now have an RSS feed for this site, you can get it at http://daniel.schreck.com/rss.xml That's all. Enjoy.

I'm going to be an Uncle... Yippy.... My brother Stephen and his lovely new bride Theresa are expecting. In his own words "Our baby is currently 9 weeks and 6 days old and is 2.2 cm long. We are calling it our medium sized green olive." I'm very excited, and kind of concerned, our last name may be Schreck, but I don't think that green babies are a good thing.

I know that you all care ... Just wanted to let you know that you can now reach this page at www.danielschreck.com . Yippy, I own my name.
