So, the other day I'm walking out of an office building, and i'm in the middle of a fairly large parking lot, when suddenly out of nowhere, I'M HIT ON THE HEAD WITH HALF OF A LOAF OF STALE FRENCH BREAD. I spin around expecting some crazed french chef, or something to explain why, but nothing. With a dumb founded look on my face I continued towards my car, when I realized I'd forgotten the obvious, so I quick looked up and saw a bird flying off, silly bird bit off more than he could chew, I'm sure he must have been french. Well at least it wasn't a turkey.

Here are some very interesting photos taken in Irag that you probably won't see on the local news, check out Fallujah in Pictures .

I am soooo embarassed to be a Florida voter. Why oh why are people so silly.

A good friend of mine is participating in a fund raiser to help fight AIDS. It's a 165 mile bike ride from Miami to Key West, why don't you help him out with a pledge, it doesn't have to be much $20 is great... For more information and to make a pledge goto www.thesmartride.org , to make a pledge search for rider Kenneth Schmidt. Thanks.

I recently finished a little roadtrip, wining my way back east from New Mexico. I didn't stop and see to many sites, but I did manage to make my presence known to a few more states. So here it is, my updated map of where I've been in these United States of I can't believe Bush might get re-elected America.

Below is a pretty silly email conversation that I recently had. I still have NO idea who this person is. >>>>>> --- eric gladhart wrote: >>>>>> hi dan, >>>>>> >>>>>> this american keyboard is really getting on my nerves. >>>>>> >>>>>> the phone at emil-geis has been busy for over a day. >>>>>> i think it's off the hook. can you check what going >>>>>> on please. >>>>>> >>>>>> thanks. >>>>>> >>>>>> all is well over here and hope everything is working >>>>>> out for you. >>>>>> >>>>>> eric >>>>> --- Dan Schreck wrote: >>>>> do I know you? >>>>> >>>>> you sent me this message via my website, but I have >>>>> no idea wha...

I recently found a need new way of getting news of the internet. It graphically displays the most important (seen on the most websites) news in an easy to use interface. It's mostly a novelty, but's it's still very interesting. It's called newsmap check it out.

I'm just trying out a new feature that Blogger offers. I can now very easily upload photos. Here's a good pic of me taken during my drive up the Pacific Coast Highway.

Not as if there is a single person that reads this... But anyhow, you can now leave comments to any posts I make.

I recently added a new section to my website. You can now view my family tree, going back to 1776. Ther is a JAVA based tree that lets you move around the 470+ people in the tree. There is also a Tree that can be printed complete with pictures.

Oops, I forgot to mention the cool site that I used to make the maps that I posted last week. I used World66 just go to that site and click on Visited Countries or Visited States to make a map of your own. Enjoy.

I just found a great little site that allows you to create persolalized travel maps. So that's what I've done. Below you can see All the states that I've visited. And all the countries that I've graced with my presence during my world travels.
