“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Start of an Adventure
I've been trying to write this in my head for the past two weeks or so. It's really hard to talk about the experience of becoming a father without the emotional or gritty details of the process. For the medium I happen to be writing this in, a certain amount of...
T-Mobile G2 Review
Having realized it's been 4 years since I purchased a new cell phone, and having long since finished my obligitory 2-year contract I felt, with a baby on the way, that it was time for an upgrade. My phone of choice was a T-Mobile G2. Made by HTC and licensed to...
Been Busy
It was a crazy January around the ol' homestead. We're full on into crazy baby-mode. I put in some long hours getting the nursery ready but I think it's paid off in one awesome room. Seeing as how it was a "study" that hadn't been updated or cleaned since 1975, I had...
Paintball Photos
I had almost forgotten to post these. My good friend Paul Ladd was kind enough to show up for my birthday party paintball extravaganza with his camera rig and even got in the cage with us for a few rounds. It should be noted that paintball photography is incredibly...
Happy Holidays
Well, since they're now over, I can safely ask how everyone's holidays went. Ours were pretty uneventful, which is a nice change. The last couple have been pretty crazy with traveling or some sort of emergencies and disasters. We decided to take it easy and keep...
Birthday Year in Review
So, another year, another birthday. 2010 has been quite the blur. When it started we weren't pregnant yet, my mother-in-law was still doing somewhat ok, I was making significantly less money at work, I hadn't taken a vacation in 5 years (a trip somewhere fun, not...
Black Ops: Black Eye
I struggled briefly with the idea that it was me. That I was perhaps the only one out of the 7 million copies sold that really dislikes the new Call of Duty: Black Ops. Then I realized that the culture of the FPS genre had changed and that it wasn't so much the games...
Self-Aggrandizing
By definition, a blog is fairly self-aggrandizing. In this instance however, it might serve a purpose. Obviously, with a baby on the way, my thoughts are turning more and more towards "daddy" type of activities. That includes getting excited about "stuff" for the...
7 years
It seems like only yesterday, but seven years ago today I was married. Most of you were there. It's hard to believe it's been that long. It really doesn't even feel like it. I feel about 20, and like I just graduated from college, but that I'm some how mysteriously...
DC Aftermath
That sounds like some sort of CBS post-apocalyptic drama doesn't it? Well, I'm back home now. I would have posted sooner but it took nearly the entire weekend to simply recover. The last two days of my trip were especially brutal. I won't bore you with the minute by...
