We got to see some good friends...

I took the day off from work today and we met up with some friends that we haven't seen in a while. Chris and Erin McGowin brought themselves and their kids  Micah, Matthew and Noele over to our home. We have known Chris and Erin for about 17 years now! Man that is a long time don't I feel old now thinking about it! It was a real pleasure having them over and we don't talk to them enough. I hope that we can get together with them more often.

Giving Netflix another shot

 

ok I don't  know if you guys have tried Netflix but it is pretty cool. You rent movies online and they are mailed to you. That is the basic jist of how it works. But now there is a new feature that will let you watch movies instantly! This is pretty sweet, but the selection is less then desirable for the most part.

Another cool feature is as you rate movies they start to get better at recommending which movies you might like. I am actually more intrigued by the algorithm then this service, but this feature is pretty sweet none the less.

As of right now we are planning on canceling it when the 2 week trail is up regardless.

The descision to go public

I recently made the decision to go public with the Slocombe Family Blog. I had thought about it for a while and decided that there is no reason that people should see who we are. The only reason I could come up with is fear. Not that my decision should be yours, but if you don't know us feel free to read about us. The fact of the matter is we are Christians and hope that others can see that. We hop[e that when you see us, maybe you will see Christ. Not that we could be Him, but that His light would shine through us.

Another reason I wanted to make it public was the fact if you use an RSS Reader, like Google reader or Omea Reader(the one I use), then you will now be able to read it by subscribing to our blog. SO why use a RSS reader? If you read more than one or two blogs it is a fast way to get your info.
