Things about my life.
What a great Halloween we’ve had! Xander had a wonderful time going trick or treating. Kate took him out to the houses right around ours with Mira. Then they came back to the house and Xander wanted to do some more, so I took him all the way down to the end of the street [...]
I’m sure most people have heard about the huge solar flare that spewed stuff our way yesterday. Hopefully it’ll not be too big a disruption to daily life, but there are some possible side effects.
Rod Roddy died yesterday. The Price is Right won’t be quite the same without him. Rod was also the announcer on Press your Luck and Soap, two other shows I enjoyed. His wonderful voice will be missed.
Mira had her 4 month checkup this morning. Weight: 15.4 pounds Length: 25″ Head: 16 3/4″ She also got three shots, poor little girl. The doctor said she’s doing great, which we figured, but it’s always nice to have the doctor say it.
So I’m 31 years old today. Feels pretty much like 30. I had a good weekend with my family, which is all I could ask for on any day. No big plans for today. I usually take advantage of the good will to get some gaming of some sort done, I expect it’ll be pretty [...]
I just finished Kingdom Hearts. That had to be one of the best game endings I’ve even seen. The final boss battle was amazing. I was breathing hard after I was done with it from all the excitement and adreneline. I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves a RPG with a great story [...]
Xander’s school had its fall festival today. It was very nice. They had different games set up in all the different class rooms and different activities for the kids to do. Most of the parent’s brought something sweet to eat and it all looked very yummy. When I say it was very nice, however, I [...]
Jack Elam had died. He starred in one of my favorite movies, Support Your Local Sheriff. I know that’s not the kind of role he was most famous for, but it’s how I’ll always remember him.
Not many people remember that Dale Earnhardt shouldn’t be dead. Diecast Dude recently mentioned that several drivers had died from the same injury the year before Earnhardt died. If NASCAR had paid attention to the problem then instead of waiting for one of their stars to be killed, Adam Petty, Kenny Irwin, Jr. and Dale [...]
The guys at Penny Arcade pointed out an interview they did for Comixpedia. Penny Arcade is one of my favorite things online these days, and it’s certainly my favorite web comic, just edging out PVP. PVP used to be my favorite, but it’s stopped being so much about gaming, which is what I enjoyed the [...]
I love iTunes. I really didn’t think I would. It’s easy to use. The cost is reasonable. Even the DRM isn’t too bad. I’ve very happy with it so far. I’ve only bought 3 songs so far, but I expect that number to climb fairly rapidly. I gave Kate a demo of it, and she [...]
I think this comment, on SlashDot of all places, sums up how I feel about the outcome of the game last night. The Red Sox should have pulled Martinez and brought in Embree. I even said so while Grady Little was standing on the mound, so it’s not monday morning quaterbacking. Maybe they’ll learn the [...]
We had our first parent/teacher conference for Xander today. Everything went very well. His teacher is very happy with his progress in the class room. She was very impressed with how well he knows his numbers and his letters. She said he spends most of his time doing practial life things right now, which didn’t [...]
