this is the old site, i've moved it here because its broken and too messed up to fix. but the content is still pretty good, so i didnt want to delete it altogether. the best stuff is from a few years ago when i was still in college.

a broken website

well, after several years of hosting with godaddy, i decided the site wasnt worth the (admittedly nominal) monthly fee so i moved it over to the free hosting at wordpress.com. this, however, pretty much broke everything. i may or may not fix it, but at least its still here for anyone curious enough to check it out.

facebook Connect

just a site update to integrate some cool facebook features.  you can now use your facebook login, via the button, to leave comments on the site.  Also, any posts or comments should show up on both facebook and the site.  and dont worry, because the facebook connect uses facebook for all user data, nothing is stored on the site.

Random images are BACK

way back in the day, this site used to have a real logo, and underneath that logo was a random image that would refresh every time you clicked on a link or went somewhere different on the site.  I’m pretty sure that it was most peoples favorite part of the site.  well after years and years of nothing, i decided to dig up the old randomizing image code from the old site and implement it into this site.  nothing fancy, but that nifty, oddly-sized banner up there in the right corner now is your source for random image joy.  if you missed it that is…  all 4 of you that still visit the site for my bi-yearly updates…

P.S. These are all images i took, or at least have something to do with some part of my life.  they’re kind of random, i know.

P.P.S.  a nice bonus to the new random image size is that i can use them for posts as well, so now newer random images can come from newer posts, such as this one, or the mystery ranger.

I dont really remember my dreams most of the time, but lately I’ve had a couple that stand out for some strange reason.  Politically, I dont know what i would consider myself.  I used to think republican, but I’ve never even voted, and frankly i dont really give a crap.  but two times now, twice, I’ve had a dream where i meet president obama, and he’s all cool and I’m like “wow, this dude is pretty cool”.  doesn’t that seem a little strange to anyone, that me, a totally apolitical person would have this experience?  I’m starting to think there’s some subliminal messages going out over the waves or something…

94 Ford Ranger-2wd-white-Long Bed-Doesnt Run(Intriguing Mystery) – $800

I Recently sold a truck on Craigslist.  The following is word for word what was posted, and within a week or 2 the truck was sold.

This truck might not run, but it might get you laid. girls like guys with skills. fixing a truck? LAID. All it needs is a capper, a mattress in the back and a nice spot down by the river. SWEET RIDE. As far as what i know is wrong with it, there was a coolant leak that i tried to fix with some bars leaks, but that didnt seem to help, and then one day my roommate was driving it to nicholasville and it just quit running. I dont think the two issues are related, but who knows. I have a truck that runs, so i’m not really interested in trying to fix this one. we have theories though. maybe the fuel filter got clogged, or the fuel pump went bad, or something electrical stopped working. It still turns over, it just doesnt start. Just to make sure, i put some extra gas in it today and tried to start it. NO LUCK. so here’s the deal. I just want to get rid of the thing. i have a clean title. There used to be a bunch of maintenance records in the glove box, but they were taking up all the room, so i ditched them. they obviously didnt help anyway. if anything this could be a timeless reminder that regular tune ups dont mean crap. I dont care what you do with it, just pay me and push pull or drag this thing away.

one way to fill a page

there’s been a stark lack of content on thedanwray.com for quite some time.  and for the sake of boredom, and lack of anything good to write about, i have begun importing my google reader shared items as posts.  its an easy way for me to share what i find interesting from several of the sites i read.  also, i added the rss feed from twoguysaroundtheworld.com‘s video updates to the sidebar, mostly just so you remember to hit up their awesome and successful site.  you’d think that with all this free time i have, i would have done something a long time ago, but actually, i was just really bored at keeneland yesterday.

update: i decided that it looked too much like the posts i was importing looked like i was trying to make it look like i wrote them, so i switched that over to another rss feed on the sidebar.  its simpler this way.

It Begins

So, since i dont every really do anything interesting anymore, i decided hey, why not share some cool stuff i found on youtube.  and here we go.
