Koiphish.com is my personal blog that allows me to post stuff that I find interesting or worth sharing with the friends and family. This blog will try and remain PG-13 because I have my children and nieces that like to surf the interweb now (Go do your homework!), so I will try and keep it clean for them.

Feel free to email me things that you think would be cool for me to post about. Just remember, PG-13! I will be surfing the rss feeds a lot more now to try and come up with no less than 2 posts a week to write about. I just hate those tumbleweed blogs that post once or twice a month, if that. So I am going to try and keep up a post schedule.

Try and enjoy what I bring you from the far reaches of the internet and please comment, subscribe to the rss feed and share with others..

I am a geek at heart even though I look like a giant mean ogre. I love to Geocache (even though its been awhile since my last cache hunt) and I like anything to do with gps really. I love the hunt of geocaching. To me it’s like the days of old when men hunted for treasure by map and landmarks.

I am also a huge survival freak. To the inevitable apocalypse of global war to the economic breakdown in our society to the unforeseen zombie outbreak thanks to bio-weapon engineering. I want to be ready for it! So much that I am creating another blog called the Survival Dojo just to deal with it all, so stay tuned!

A few of my other hobbies are collecting guns and rifles, camping, collecting coins and silver and keeping up with anything geeky.

Here is a list of my favorite sites from around the internet. I try and keep up with them everyday using Google Reader (RSS Feeds).

Google.com – I am a die hard google apps freak. I would actually pay for it if they started charging.
Diggnation.com – I love Kevin and Alex and Diggnation is just awesome to watch weekly.
Digg.com – I find some of the coolest stories on digg.com daily.
Lifehacker.com – This is my most favorite site on the internet. Hack your life!
Geekologie.com – This is one of the funnest sites around. The editor is frigging insane!
Gizmodo.com – Gizmodo is an absolute must for keeping up with the techno trends of today.
Unplggd.com – Total geek site. A must for any self-respecting techno geek who likes to be cool.
Facebook.com – I use it to keep up with my family and friends.
Twitter.com – Yeah, Yeah… I tweet.. shoot me! It’s fun to see what my friends are up to.

I am in the process of scouting property within an hour or two drive from Bella Vista, Arkansas (my home) with at least 15 to 50 acres of land so we can startup the homestead.  We want to start an organic micro-farm with a very large garden of vegetables, fruits, peppers and have some ducks in a bass stocked pond, chickens in a coup and maybe some lamb or sheep for meat and wool.

With the farm, we want to drill a deep well for water and have wind turbines and solar panels for energy. I would like to arrange to sale excess produce and fruit at a discount to local restaurants in exchange for their used cooking oil so we can make our own bio-diesel fuel for our vehicles. My next vehicle purchase will be a diesel powered Dodge Ram and I am working on trading our Ford Explorer for a VW Jetta TDI (Diesel Engine) so we can get better gas mileage and also use the bio-diesel we produce. I will be writing on all of this on my survival blog, SurvivalDojo.com
