USAF Thunderbirds in 1920 x 1200 Widescreen Wallpaper

Update: Sorry friends, but Blogger won't let me upload a 1920 x 1200 resolution image. Blogger converts automatically to 1600 x 1200 and I haven't found a way around this yet. I am considering moving the blog to overcome some basic limitations.

Happy 2009. Today's USAF Thunderbird widescreen wallpaper is in 1920 x 1200 resolution by request.

I have put up a poll and I need your input. Do you want me to move to 1920 x 1200 resolution for the wallpapers here or keep them at 1680 x 1050?

Let me know your thoughts.

Trip to New York City

Hey all,

Hope you had a great Christmas and New Years. I celebrated the New Year with a trip to New York City. I thought you might like to see a few pictures from the trip. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza in Times Square and had a blast. The temperatures were consistently in the low teens and the windchill was near 0 degrees F.

We rang in the New Year in Times Square with thousands of other people. What a crazy time but it was amazing.

In picture #1 you're seeing Central Park in Manhattan from our vantage point 70 stories up on Rockefeller Center. In picture #2 you're seeing Times Square. In picture #3 you're seeing me and my wife in Rockefeller Center.

Lots of great times and great food. Here's to a great 2009!

Happy New Year 2009!

It's New Year's Eve and I'm in Times Square (New York City). I figured that you have to do this at least once in your life. It's my goal this year to a better person and I'm working on a specific action plan to make that a reality (I might share more about that later).

Each new year brings the hope of a new life and a new direction. Challenge yourself to be more than you are today. Challenge yourself to love your wife and family more. Go beyond the ordinary life and grab life by the throat. Make the most of your talents and be a blessing to others.

Make 2009 the best year of your life.

F-16 Up Close and Personal 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Wouldn't you love to be there? Thirty degree angled seat, side stick controller, fly-by-wire, and 30,000 lbs of afterburning thrust kicking you along. Nothing like it in the world.

Super Hornet with Flare 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Hopefully you've recovered from all the holiday candy. Enjoy a pair of F-18 Super Hornets on that new widescreen monitor!

Merry Christmas 2008!

I want to wish you and your family a very merry Christmas. It's my hope you're surrounded by loved ones and that you know the true joy that comes from the one called "Emmanuel" (God with us).

Merry Christmas!!!

P.S. Try not to eat too much.
P.S.S. I hope Santa brings you a new Widescreen Monitor!

F-16 Falcon In Flight 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

It's Christmas Eve here in the U.S. and I'm heading to Pensacola, FL to be with my wife's family. It's about 7 1/2 hours driving from here, but it's always a nice trip.

Today's widescreen desktop wallpaper is up-close shot of an F-16C in flight. I know the F-35 JSF is technically superior, but the F-16 has "mojo" (see Austin Powers).
