Double Danger’s 1st Contest Winner!!

Ok… so you guys totally lacked in the area of contest participation… 

So we had to just draw for the 8 iTunes Song Downloads.  We really did want to give away the rest, but no one wanted it.  ;)  

So, without further delay, lets get to the winner of free music.

Bridgette Wins Double Danger's First Contest

Bridgette came over from Kathy’s blog (Mama’s Losin’ It) and she will be getting the goods in her inbox soon enough.  She has her own blog (The Not So Blog, Blog) - be sure to check it out and pat her on the back for a job well done.  Or something.

Congrats to Bridgette, and we will try to figure out a way to give away the other stuff soon enough.

Oh yeah… I’m back from Nerds Unplugged 4… so your computers should be working fine again.

What’s A Garden Without A Garden Fountain?

Terracotta Cascade Solar FountainA boring one if you ask us.  We have been shopping for an outdoor fountain recently and you know how it is…  spend your day looking through sites that just do not cut it… until you finally find a place that has your style.

Well we found it, Ethan Paul Outdoor - home of some killer Gas grills, Outdoor fountains and Garden fountains.

You can see right off the bat that this site has some awesome stuff for your patio & garden areas, and immediately we were hooked.  We are semi-addicted to firepits and so seeing a whole section dedicated to them had us saying…

“Where’s my checkbook?”

Also… a section dedicated to barbecues… I have been telling Shala that I needed a gas grill.  They had it covered.  TONS of gas grills and not your run of the mill ones either… we are talking HIGH END Napoleon Gas Grills.  You know those stainless steel ones that you dream about when you sleep… or is that just me?

If you can’t afford to spend the money on the super high end ones, they do have a few of the lower end (bust still super nice Napoleon gas grills) ones as well.  So you don’t have to spend 2 grand to get an awesome gas grill.

Napoleon Gas Grills

Ethan Paul does have a nice selection of fountains, which is something we have been trying to find a place for in the backyard.  Since we have a veggie garden, we were thinking we could put it in our pool area.  We have a few spots in mind, but seeing some of these fountains… you could practically build a spot dedicated just for them.  They are THAT… NICE.

The Terracotta Cascade Fountain had us hooked, since we went with terracotta pots for most of our potted plants.  This one would fit in nicely and at a good price.  140$????  Are you kidding me, sign us up.

Even if you wanted something more fancy than a terracotta pot fountain, they have TONS of outdoor & garden fountains to purchase.  We looked for about an hour dreaming and trying to figure out how we could work some of these awesome fountains in… however the Terracotta has to be the best one in our case.

Check out all the Garden & Outdoor Fountains at Ethan Paul Outdoor.

Go check some out, whether you are in the market for a new gas grill, outdoor fountain, firepit or anything dealing with outdoor entertaining or patio fun – you will be loving this site.  Ethan Paul Outdoor kills it when it comes to outdoor goodies.  Hope you can find something worth taking home… if not, maybe you can purchase something and send it ourway.  ;)   Enjoy.

Nerds Unplugged 4 Eve

So tomorrow I leave for Nerds Unplugged to spend a weekend disconnected from anything of the computer variety.  Well, besides the iPod… and occasional cell phone call.  But for the most part, “unplugged”.

If you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be in the business that I am in, talking nerd talk and writing code… I probably would have crapped myself in laughter.  I always say this, but in high school… I paid people to type up my research papers.  I would write them and all, but I HATED computers so much that I would pay some one each time I needed one typed up.

By the age of 19 I finally owned my own computer.  I remember getting it and I couldn’t wait because it had the “internet”.  Little did I know you had to buy the internet and have it hooked up and then you “had” the internet.  I pulled it out of the box, jumped on it and was thinking I would just be on this magical thing called internet.

Obviously… not the case.
