Texas got nearly a foot of snow! Crazily enough, it’s already nearly all melted. But it was fun while it was here, and we played in it for two days. Megan even got Friday off of work (I stayed home, but worked from home about half the day). We had a blast outside; Megan built [...]

As with each of the years that have passed since we were first married, 2009 flew by with such speed that we’re left looking back wondering where the time went.
This year marked my first full year as a working mamma with a full-time career to handle in addition to raising the kiddos. It’s been a challenge; [...]

Column: Nintendo is Lazy and You Don’t Care – Wii feature – at IGN.
Great editorial on Nintendo. Sums up why I don’t own a Wii. Quite frustrating, good thing Mass Effect 2 comes out soon .

Megan and I went all out on the pumpkin carving this year. I think Megan’s wrist hurt for two days after that spider web.

I remember watching the X-men cartoon when I was little and absolutely loving it, so now I’m re-living those memories through Xavier We will literally sit on the couch together and watch the whole thing (to be honest [...]

Alright, at long last we’ve got some photos from this summer. It has been a really busy and ridiculously HOT summer so far, but we’ve made it to the zoo once, and the pool nearly every weekend. So here is the latest album with a ton of great pics.

The server HDD started acting flaky at the beginning of the week, so I decided to be pro-active and start prepping a new drive for the system before it failed completely. I did have our Western Digital external HDD hooked up and it was holding all of our pictures, videos, and music. I decided to [...]

I just had a nice pain-free upgrade of my Ubuntu server from 8.10 to 9.04. I had been holding off upgrading for several weeks because I was positive something would break and I’d spend hours getting it back up and running. Much to my surprise, everything went off without a hitch.

So here’s something interesting I’ve noticed over the past few weeks: SPAM seems to be slowing down a bit. Not just email SPAM either, but SPAM comments on this very blog have seen a very steep slow down over the past several weeks. The chart below shows the number of SPAM comments posted to [...]

While they were grocery shopping Thursday evening Xavier saw a Wall-E cake topper and insisted that Daddy needed a Wall-E cake. So Megan got the supplies and they all spent the evening making awesome cake. Since it was [...]

There really is a good excuse for the lack of posts and pictures lately. I dropped our camera onto our kitchen tile right after we got back from our Ohio Christmas trip. After it happened I messed around with it for awhile and eventually determined that it was still mostly functional, but the screen was [...]

Awhile back I posted the sad obituary of ze5170, my old laptop that bit the dust several months ago. Since then, Meg and I have been surviving on her equally old hp a610n desktop. We lived with this for as long as we could, but I, being the geek that I am, couldn’t go on for much [...]
