Decided since my voting location was so close that I would walk to do my civic duty. Not only did I get to vote for the next president but I got to get a little exercise and help myself as well as my country.

He is the little video I took along the way…..

Dont forget to vote…you still have time. Help make our country a better place.

Last week I got a great opportunity to check out AMC Theatres new attraction called “Fork and Screen” which steps up what you would normally consider a night at the movies.

It not only adds a menu to your visit to your next feature film but also adds some extra features like reclining chairs, swivel tables, eye candy while walking the halls, and a full bar to enjoy during your stay.

I must say AMC has done an awesome job enhancing the movie watching experience while not really adding a lot of extra expense. The new non suite theaters are actually the same price as a normal ticket and you get an upgraded experience from what we have been use to over the years and for just 10 bucks more you get the really kool theater with the 2 person cinema suite for the ultimate in relaxation.

I took a few videos while I was there and thought I would share them with ya……

First is as you enter the “Fork and Screen” experience (you must be at least 18 or have an adult with you to enter)

Next we have a preview of the AMC Cinema Suites with the really kool chairs….

If you get a chance to check out the services go for it….Allison and I had a great time and we wanted to thank AMC for getting the chance to check it out.

This year the theme for Allison and I was big hair and big glasses….

A few weeks back I got a kool invite to check out AMC Theatres new concept called “Fork & Screen” which brings two favorite things of mine together in movies and eating!  So tonight I will be heading over to the AMC Studio 30 in Olathe to check the new services out and will for sure be reporting back to everyone via twitter and snapping some pics.

Guests of Fork & Screen and Cinema Suites will be able to enjoy in-theatre dining combined with the most current movies and other types of entertainment, presented in the immersive, big-screen viewing environment of an AMC theatre. Both Fork & Screen and Cinema Suites will feature in-theatre Seat-Side ServiceTM, where moviegoers will have the opportunity to order from a diverse menu of appetizers, sandwiches, entrees, desserts, beer, wine and cocktails, as well as traditional theatre concessions.

Fork & Screen will feature eight auditoriums reserved for guests 18-years-old and over and minors accompanied by a parent or guardian, where patrons will enjoy their entertainment in an intimate setting, with soft, comfortable seating and table-top dining.

For the ultimate in luxury moviegoing at an affordable price, AMC guests 21-years-old and over can upgrade to one of three Cinema Suites auditoriums featuring reserved seating.

Tonight we will be getting a tour of the new setup they have been working on for the past few months, get to ask any questions we might have, as well as catch a screening of Guy Ritchie’s new film “RocknRolla”.

Along with my twitter posts I will work on a review and what I thought of everything which should pop up on the blog in a couple of days and if you have any questions you would like me to ask tonight please feel free to shoot me a tweet.

I decided to shave my beard tonight and go for a different look.  recorded a before and after and loaded it on 12seconds.  Here are the videos below:

So what do you think? Let me know.

Hey Everyone….Just wanted to check in and let you all know I am still here, alive and kicking.  If you follow me on other services like twitter and friendfeed you probably noticed I have been around but a lot lighter use wise the normal.

The reason?  Allison and I took the last week off to take a little break from work, work on some projects around the house (in and out), and just spend some time togather.

With that said I am back and ready to start blogging and sharing all my normal geekiness with everyone.  Overall a nice little break.

Look for some pics of our front yard landscaping project, our newly painted basement, and of course my new 42 inch TV.

Yesterday Allison and I welcomed our new redbud tree into the family and placed it in front of the house.

It was an adventure getting it home and in the ground but now it is here for all to see…and will soon have some friends joining it in our little flower bed type deal we have created. (pics to come of course)

Hey everyone this coming May 31st I will be walking with a team to help raise money for the American Heart Association and I need your help!!! If you have a few dollars to spare I would love to have your donation that will go toward helping fight the #1 and #3 killers of people yearly.

You’re Making a Difference. Since 1924 the American Heart Association has helped protect people of all ages and ethnicities from the ravages of heart disease and stroke. These diseases, the Nation’s No.1 and No.3 killers, claim more than 910,000 American lives a year. The association invested more than $543 million in fiscal year 2005-06 for research, professional and public education, and advocacy so people across America can live stronger, longer lives.

Thanks to all our walkers, donors and volunteers who have accepted the challenge to help fight heart disease and stroke. We cannot achieve our mission without each one of you.

Anything you can give would be awesome!!! I plan to have some pics and video’s and such up after the event so you can check them out. And if you have any question please feel free to email me, IM me, or shoot me a message on twitter. Also feel free to send the url out all over the net!!!!

Make Your Donation Here

Note : I just found out for online you have to pledge atleast $25.00 (which sucks). If you wanna pledge less you can write me a check and make it out to the “American Heart Association” or there is a form on my donation page that you can send directly to the American Heart Association in Kansas City if you are doing under $25]

Also if you feel comfortable you can just paypal me a donation to jeffisageek at gmail dot com. but i understand if you dont feel comfortable just sending me your money (especially in this day and age).

Recently I was given an opportunity to start writing for tech blog Gadgetell and decided I would take them up on their offer as I see it as a way to one network with others as well as great experience for my blogging skills.

Well yesterday was the day the day my first post hit the front page. I decided for my first post I would write about a new service that I really like and that would be easy to explain….so I went with toluu.

So everyone head over and check out my post and of course leave a comment or two
