To further prove it's greatness to the world, Google has announced that they will be incorporating Flash into the newest version of the Android platform, Android 2.2. Apple is insistent...

Why not give La Hacienda over on Goodman Rd a try? It’s not all that big, so the service is pretty good. They have a full bar, and some of the best Mexican food around. When I went, I ordered a combo that had chicken enchiladas, a soft taco, and beans and rice. Pretty standard meal, but all in all, the meal was pretty good, though I had to jazz... [Read more...]

A lot of you have been asking to go into the pool area. Hold your horses folks! We are all anxious to get out, lay in the sun, and take a few laps in the pool, especially on days like today, when the temperature is expected to be around 85 degrees!
