Slumdog Millionaire at the Moxie

Last night we went to see Slumdog Millionaire at the Moxie. If you haven't seen this movie yet you absolutely should. It's a great story about an orphan in India, the girl he loves, and his experience on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. The film is very well done, directed by Danny Boyle (Sunshine, 28 Days Later, Trainspotting) and …

50,000 Shoes in 50 Days

Just took part in the 50,000 Shoes in 50 Days challenge. I would encourage you to do the same. It’s pretty amazing that for $5 you can send two pairs of shoes to people who’ve never had shoes. It just takes a couple of minutes. You never really think about how important shoes are, because we wear them all the …

About Matt Kerner

Kerner.net is the personal weblog of Matt Kerner. He is married to Sarah Kerner who is legal counsel for the Springfield-Branson National Airport. They have a dachshund named Lucy. Kerner.net was originally a repository of Kerner’s cooking experiments, recipes, and restaurant experiences. These days it wanders into other areas given Kerner’s technology background and current work in the local church, …

End of the Political Season

I’ve got to say that I’m glad for the end of the political season this year. Last night was the first election where I didn’t have more than one television going in my living room. The main reason is that we only have one television, so I didn’t have others to pull through the house like previous elections. Sarah and …

Backyard Project

This post is mainly for testing the iPhone typepad app, but this is the project before me. I’m hoping to get a considerable amount of the leaves picked up before it gets too dark to work and the polls start closing. Would have started earlier, but was still a bit groggy from this morning, but that’s another story.

Canceling Cable?

Sarah and I are looking at making a major shift in our media consumption habits this fall. Most likely we'll be canceling our cable subscription in favor of getting all of our visual media needs in more efficient, on-demand formats. We're thinking that we'll unplug ourselves from cable around the first of August and see how it goes until the …

Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog – Is This the Future of Entertainment?

  Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog is what happens when a bunch of talented people who can't work get together to do something to fill the time (and make a point about the last year's writers' strike). During the the strke Joss Whedon teamed up with a group of people and have put together what I'm guessing is a great 44 minutes …

Family Reunion Time!

It's technically Sarah's family, but unlike some people I'm going anyway. That's right it's time for the biennial Skelton Family Reunion. The large family reunion is something that I don't quite relate to, but it's a lot of fun. You see I grew up in a family where both of my parents only had one sibling (and we rarely saw …

Rain Rain Go Away

It's been an incredibly rainy day today. It wasn't raining when I first got up this morning, but started soon after. There have only been a couple of lulls, but the ground here certainly can't keep up. Lucy refused to leave the overhang of the door to go outside, but she'd been heading to the door for about 30 minutes, …

Indiana Jones – Bleck

I really wasn't expecting much from the latest installment in the Indiana Jones franchise. After reading Hershey's review I was expecting even less. A group of us from licensing school decided to go see the movie last Friday night to end our week together. A couple of people liked it, several of us seriously considered getting up and leaving. I …
