Local places I like

I really thought I would not be nervous, but I got on stage and started shaking. I really did not have many jokes, but my slides got laughs. The twats were positive. Going first is a bit scary, but I felt I did good. A good amount of ums.. and getting a bit lost. Plus the mic stand was sitting on the cord so for the first minute I was stuck in one spot. By the 3rd minute I was rollin.
The other 15 presenters made for a great night. I will go back to see these whenever they happen. The bourbon was so packed. There was a shortage of chairs. The place was darn near full.
I was very happy to be invited to do it. Good times. Once the vids come out I will post for sure.

Ignite Lincoln, links to things mentioned and some extra stuff
Posted by beerorkid in random crap
Tonight is the Ignite Lincoln show. I am up first around 7 PM
If you are here because you saw my presentation thanks.
This is my mini basement arcade site

Flipping both flippers is bad. Especially if you do it like this kid >.<
The internet pinball database, IPDB, is where you can get info on games and very in depth rules sheets.
Pinball.org has great rule sheets as well.
PAPApinball videos on vimeo
Some of them are just videos of game play. You might catch a few hints, but the videos with the tutorials are just amazing. Some are over 20 minutes long while some of the best players in the country play a single game and explain the rules and secrets for kicking ass.
Pinball 101 is available at itunes for $4 and is completely worth it.

It has been a while since I have updated it, so the games have changed, but most locations still have pinball machines.

Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup from Taste Traditions of Omaha
Posted by beerorkid in food, Lincoln Shops/Food
Sample at the grocery store are awesome. Couple weeks ago at the 27th and Pine Lake Super Saver they were giving out samples of Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup from Taste Traditions of Omaha. It was pretty good.
We have been trying out a couple new recipes for soup and I want to keep trying more. I was planning on making my own version. Looked cheesy tortilla soup recipes and they varied a bunch. Theresa said we should just try the taste traditions one first and see if it would be something she would like and get ideas to make our own version. We checked Russ’s and they carried it for around $7.
It comes in a boil in bag. I split it in half and sucky bagged them. Prep time was about 10 minutes and we poured right from the bag. I enjoyed it, but Theresa found it a bit odd and nailed it when she said it was like liquid chicken tacos. They have a good range of offerings and we look forward to trying others.
It has been about 40 days since the snip and my last bike ride. Things are going fine down there. Stitches down there are an interesting experience, wow. Driving in with Theresa since then has been with the cold weather, but with the nice day I took the bike back after lunch. It was a very enjoyable ride and I am looking forward to more.
