Fox News Blacked Out
We usually get Fox News Channel on our Satellite dish here in Mexico, but because of the election on Sunday, they have blacked it out. They say that it's due to the electoral law here. We read that it was because Fox was showing some results of opinion polls and...

Check out this article on piracy in Mexico. Here's are some quotes: "Illegal sales already account for 65 percent of CD sales in Mexico, and the entertainment industry is bracing for things to get much worse now that fast broadband connections have become more common,...

I haven't posted much about Nathan lately, and Janell's mom asked for some more pictures of the boy. We were in Walmart today, and all the World Cup stuff was on sale, so we bought a Mexican wig (see the picture). I decided to let Nathan try it on. Of course, you can...
