Things about my life.
Xander’s school had it’s International Festival today. We all went and Xander and Mira had a great time. His class was doing Norway this year. We contributed a wolf stuffed animal for the decorations in the class. Kate also made damper bread, which is a bread from Australia. Kate also took that on Monday to [...]
Darth Vader’s Weblog starts out just before the events in The Empire Strikes Back. It’s very funny. I’m looking forward to seeing how long it goes on.
So I made a huge mistake today. I tried out a friends PSP. Now, I really want one. It’s a sweet little hand held game machine/media player. I mostly want it more for the game angle of course, but I’m not above encoding some movies and putting them on a 1GB memory stick and carrying [...]
Mira has surprised us. Thursday she wanted to go sit on the potty. She’s not been able to do anything yet, but she’s shown interest in trying about once or twice a day since then. We’re, of course, letting her give it a try whenever she likes. Kate and I now have visions of a [...]
I’m very proud of Sesame Street for updating Cookie Monster to help kids understand healthy food. I know a lot of people are upset that the are messing with their childhood memories, but what’s really more important here, child hood memories, or the health of our children. Cookie now treats a cookie as a “sometimes [...]
I have to remind myself that I was a beginner programmer once too. That said, I don’t think I was ever this bad.
GameSpy already has a preview of Sly 3 up. Things are looking good. I’m really looking forward to this one.
So Apple calls me up this evening to let me know the warranty on my iPod is about to expire. I expected that to be followed by an offer to extend the warranty for the low price of blah blah blah. Actually, all he asked was if it had been working properly for me. I [...]
Xander and I will both be thrilled to see Sly 3:Honor Among Thieves come out this fall.
We had a very nice afternoon today. The weather is more Springlike around here lately, so this afternoon we took the kids out and played with the bubbles for a while. Xander loves playing with the bubbles. Mira runs hot and cold on it, but I’m sure she’ll come around after a while. We had [...]
Kate and I got back from our anniversary trip yesterday afternoon. It was great to have an extented period of time to ourselves, but it’s also good to be back with the kids. We only went as far as Reston. We stayed at the Hyatt in Reston Town Center. The hotel was only okay. Certainly [...]
Today Kate and I celebrate our 10th Anniversary. Kate’s mom is here and is going to watch the kids, and we are going to go away for the weekend. It’ll be the first extended time we’ve had together alone in years. We’ve both be looking forward to it quite a bit. It’s been a wonderful [...]
It’s a rough week. Peter Jennings announced today that he has lung cancer. Kate and I were wondering if something was wrong when he wasn’t around to cover the Pope’s death. We were very sad to hear he’s sick. When I bother to watch television news anymore (it’s mostly useless these days), Pete was always [...]
Pope John Paul II died today. It’s a sad day. He did a lot of good for the world. Even if I didn’t agree with him all the time, I never had any doubt that he had the best of intentions. We’ll all miss him. As sad as it is to see him go, it’s [...]
