This weekend we had to take a big step back and look at how to re-position Brochin.net over the next 2-3 years while we operate primarily online. That said, we are making some major renovations so you will see the homepage down for a while, but the blog is still up. With the new overhaul we will be offering several tutorials, e-books, software and scripts for your small business IT and Telecomm needs.

 

We hope to have Rhino Articles moved into the Web 2.0 world in the next couple of months. Delays in programming have stalled it. However, once finished you will not see but one or two directories online even similar to it.

I took my oldest son to see the movie Hancock this weekend. I am little disappointed. The first part of the movie was ok, but I did not like how they tried to smash Hancock’s past life into the last 20-30 minutes of the movie. I think they could have used it better and kept the history stuff for a follow-on or sequel.

 

So basically I came away with a Superman meets the Highlander feeling.

 

Our trip to Asheboro North Carolina was very enjoyable. The next morning after visiting the zoo we took a quick trip north to Randleman, North Carolina and took in the Richard Petty museum. For racing fans this is a must see. It is a nice little museum containing pictures, trophies, real cars actually used in races and even The King’s personal collection of various memorabilia. It ALMOST had me interested in watching racing again.

 

The family is in Asheboro North Carolina for an early weekend. We needed some time alone together as a family. We have had people in and out of the house for almost a month straight and just needed to get away, especially Kim.

Anyway we arrived here this morning and went to the NC Zoo. Amazing Zoo, but you better bring your walking legs as it has over 5 miles worth of trails. You may also want to get there early in the morning and visit the animal you want to see most first thing. As it gets hotter the animals seem to head for shade and it is harder to see them.

My in-laws are in town and it is actually enjoyable.

They came in Wednsday. While I worked on Thursday, Herb (father in-law) took Gannon to the beach on base. They broke out the metal detector and walked down the beach. They really didn’t find anything major. However they did find a cross member for a truck. Yea go figure, a cross member for a truck on a beach…hmmm, how did that get there.

Anyway, we went out this morning to do some looking with the detector at a local park then did some fishing, but it was too hot and we came home.
