So I got a new domain name – http://www.nathanjohns.net. I’ve decided I’d like to use a more powerful blogging platform than blogger, and it seems wordpress is pretty much the way to go. I guess I just have to decide if I’m willing to put up with paying for hosting and staying up-to-date with software updates and whatnot.

Average home size in the US
Did you know…
In 1950, the average home size in the US was 950 sq. feet.
In 2007, the average home size in the US was 2400 sq. feet.
I was curious to see what the population was then and is now:
1950: 150,520,798
2008: 303,327,905 at the time of the blog post being written – you can see the population clock at the U.S. Census Bureau website.
It’s funny that we’ve more than doubled in population over 58 years, yet the average home size has more than doubled in sq. feet.
I’m hooked on Guitar Hero
I played some Guitar Hero II over the Christmas break and now I’m completely hooked. When I got back home, I immediately called up a friend who I knew already had Guitar Hero and was interested in selling it. We struck a deal and a couple hours later we were rockin’ in our living room.
If you’ve played the game at all, you’ll be impressed with this video of an 8-year-old beating a song on expert(expert is the hardest level of difficulty on the game):
One month is too long
One month is way to long between blog posts. I’ll have to make sure not to wait that long, because then I’m forced to squish way to many things into one or two posts and either throw out or forget a lot of the content.
I’ve been quite busy lately. Besides normal work stuff, I have:
- Played in a golf scramble with my friend Chris
- Dressed up as Monopoly’s Community Chest for holloween
- Visited my brother Michael for a few days
- Attended my dad’s wedding
- Taken a trip to Maui
We also got to briefly meet Tom Lehman, pro golfer in the PGA. Very nice guy.
Happy Thanksgiving!
