Kingdom Hearts II Preview

by @ Monday, August 30th, 2004. Filed under Games, PS2, RPG

GameSpy has up a quick preview of Kingdom Hearts II. It gives brief descriptions of two demo levels they got to play recently. Sadly, it’s still not due out till Winter 2005. Chain of Memories for the GBA should be out some time this year.

More Banana

by @ Monday, August 30th, 2004. Filed under Family

Mira has started signing banana now also. Not perfectly, but it is clearly what she is doing. Kate says she has been doing it for a little while. My first experience with it was last night. We were sitting at the table having dinner. Kate, Xander and I were having cheeseburgers. Mira was having some [...]

PeaceKeeper Wars Trailer

by @ Wednesday, August 25th, 2004. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

Apple now has up a trailer for Farscape: The PeaceKeeper Wars. Watch and enjoy. Kate and I really need to get caught up on all the Farscape that we have sitting on the TiVo.

Olympic Summary

by @ Tuesday, August 24th, 2004. Filed under Sports

Events I’ve enjoyed the most so far in no particular order: Table Tennis Volleyball Diving Swimming Archery Fencing It’s been a very good Olympics this year, even with NBC involved. The TiVo has made a huge difference in what I’ve been able to watch and how much I’ve been able to enjoy it.

New Computer

by @ Monday, August 23rd, 2004. Filed under PC, Personal

My new computer arrived today. 3.2 GHz Intel P4 w/1MB cache 1GB PC3200 DDR Memory Asus P4C800-E Deluxe Motherboard eVGA GeForce 6800 GT 256MB DDR3 8X Creative Lab SB Audigy 2 ZS 7.1 Doom3 plays great on it!

Pick a Paint Scheme

by @ Monday, August 23rd, 2004. Filed under NASCAR, Sports

AOL is letting members vote on the paint scheme for the 30 car in the Nov 11th race in Phoenix. You have to have a screenname to vote. All 3 of them look pretty sweet to me, but I like the one with the running man guy on the hood the best.

This Way Lies Pizza

by @ Saturday, August 21st, 2004. Filed under Family

“This way lies pizza,” Kate said. At least that’s what we always told Mira when we were feeding her some gelatinous mass of what ever baby food was on the menu for her that day. She’s up to 10 teeth now, two lower incisors. The four teeth above it, and a molar in each corner. [...]

Men’s Double Trap

by @ Wednesday, August 18th, 2004. Filed under Sports

Ahmed Almaktoum picked up the first metal ever in any Olympics for the United Arab Emirates yesterday by getting the gold in Men’s Double Trap. I just thought that was pretty cool, and worthy of note.

Fencing

by @ Wednesday, August 18th, 2004. Filed under Sports

I’m a little bit pissed off at NBC at the moment. Kate and I spent a bit of time yesterday watching the Women’s Individual Sabre Semi-finals yesterday. I was very happy at the coverage that was being given to it on Bravo. We watched the two semi-final matches and the bronze metal match. They said [...]

TiVo #3

by @ Monday, August 16th, 2004. Filed under Television

We got DirecTiVo number 3 up and running today. They are only $80 now, and we decided to get a “spare” in case our primary one ever gives up the ghost. We actually bought it yesterday, but we got it home and the second tuner didn’t work, so after work today, I ran it back [...]

30 Car Update

by @ Sunday, August 15th, 2004. Filed under NASCAR, Sports

Starting next weekend Jeff Burton will be driving the 30 car. While I kinda hate it for Dave Blaney, who I’ve always liked, I’ve also always liked Jeff Burton. Hopefully the 30 team will be able to get some good finished out of this. He’s signed for a 3 year contract and is starting up [...]

Home Again

by @ Thursday, August 12th, 2004. Filed under Family, Vacation

We’re back home. We had a great time on vacation. We left on the 6th to Charlotte, NC for my sister’s baby shower on the 7th. We had a great time there. Sunday we headed to Clinton to visit my grandparents. While we were there we watched the Brickyard 400, so my parents got to [...]

More More

by @ Wednesday, August 4th, 2004. Filed under Family

Mira was signing “more” on Monday. Today though, she really got the hang of it. On Monday is was clear that that was what she was trying to do. Today she stared doing it repeatedly and nearly perfectly. Xander was a proud as any of us. She was quite funny at the dinner table tonight [...]

More

by @ Monday, August 2nd, 2004. Filed under Family

Mira started signing more today when she wanted more crackers to eat. We’ve been working with her on signing for a while, and this is the first real progress, so it’s great encouragement for us. We’re quite proud of her.
