Back Home

by @ Sunday, November 30th, 2003. Filed under Family, Vacation

We’re back home now. I’ll catch up on the goings on tomorrow some time.

Made it to Clinton

by @ Wednesday, November 26th, 2003. Filed under Family, Vacation

We made it to Clinton safe and sound. Xander and Mira were both great for the trip. We were very proud of Xander because he was able to tell us he needed to go potty while we were on the road with plenty of time for us to find somewhere to stop and get him [...]

Running Man Guy

by @ Saturday, November 22nd, 2003. Filed under Family

Xander was a happy boy today! We went out to eat at Red Robin, but we got there about a half hour early. We decided to head over to Best Buy and look around for a little bit. We pulled up and there was a giant running man guy sitting in front of the store. [...]

Deus Ex 2 Demo

by @ Saturday, November 22nd, 2003. Filed under Games, PC, RPG

A demo has been released for Deus Ex 2. I’m bittorrenting it right now. I plan on giving it a try when Xander is down for his nap this afternoon. Blue’s News has a list of other mirrors.

Code Words

by @ Friday, November 21st, 2003. Filed under Family, News

Behold the power of the code word. Every family should have one of these as soon as the child is old enough to remember it! It shouldn’t be anything that anyone could guess. Don’t make it a favorite color or the dog’s name or something like that. All you need is one word, and as [...]

iPod Jacking

by @ Friday, November 21st, 2003. Filed under Internet/Tech, Music

Slashdot has a link to a story on Wired about people briefly sharing iPods as they encounter each other out in the world. This is one of the neatest things I’ve heard of in quite a while. It makes me want an iPod even more. Not that you actually have to have an iPod to [...]

Hexic

by @ Thursday, November 20th, 2003. Filed under Games

Kate and I are currently addicted to Hexic. It’s a cute little puzzle game where you try to rotate hexagons into groups of three or into larger hexagons. Even Xander keeps wanting to play it.

Ratchet and Clank

by @ Thursday, November 20th, 2003. Filed under Games, PS2

I finished up Ratchet and Clank last night. It was a great game. A very well done platformer. I’m sure there were flaws with it, but I can’t think of them off the top of my head. I was seldom frustrated with the game. It was hard enough to be fun, but not so hard [...]

Final Fantasy Music

by @ Monday, November 17th, 2003. Filed under Games, Internet/Tech, Music, RPG

Square Enix and AOL announced today that music from Final Fantasy VII – XI are avaliable on Radio@AOL and Radio@Netscape from now until April 2004. So now we know what I’ll be listening to for the next few months. Sorry iTunes. I’ll be back to you later.

Update on Xander’s Leg

by @ Monday, November 17th, 2003. Filed under Family

Just a quick update to say it appears that Xander’s leg is fine now. He’s not limping anymore and isn’t complaining about it hurting now.

The Return of Farscape?

by @ Saturday, November 15th, 2003. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

There are rumors going around that Farscape is back in production. Keeping my frelling fingers crossed.

100

by @ Saturday, November 15th, 2003. Filed under Family

Speaking of Xander’s school on Friday! I picked him up on Friday. I walked in to the classroom and he didn’t notice me come in. He was on a mat on the floor working with the teacher on cleaning up the work he had been doing, so I got to watch him for a minute [...]

Xander’s Leg

by @ Saturday, November 15th, 2003. Filed under Family

Xander did something to his leg on Wednesday. When Kate picked him up from school he was limping. One of the teachers noticed it as he was walking out the door. We took him to the doctor on Thursday. No apparent problems other than the limp. The doctor said to give it another day and [...]

Temple of Elemental Evil Patch

by @ Monday, November 10th, 2003. Filed under Games, PC, RPG

The patch for ToEE is finally out. I know what I’ll be doing tonight! I’ve been holding off on actually playing this for a while now, because of all the bugs. Hopefully this will get the game into a playable and enjoyable state.

Lunar Eclipse

by @ Sunday, November 9th, 2003. Filed under Family, Science

We had a beautiful lunar eclipse last night. Xander thought it was amazing to watch the moon disappear and then turn red. It was little cloudy, so it wasn’t the best viewing, but we had enough open patches that we got to see most of it.
