A few months ago, Meg and I repainted our office, and the highlight of the room is a giant chalkboard wall. While we were painting, I removed the big, beige, ‘rite temp’ thermostat from the wall to paint around it. Doing so reminded me of the Nest thermostat that came out last fall. I wanted [...]
We carved our pumpkins tonight, and this year Xavier and Ali finally were old enough to carve their own. They did a great job, and did pretty much all of it by themselves. We traced the things for them onto the pumpkins, and they did a great job carving along the lines. They weren’t too [...]
What happened to summer? I can’t believe its already October and we are having these nice and brisk 40/50° fall mornings. We’ve been in our new house for about 5 weeks now, and we still aren’t quite settled yet, but we are getting ever closer. So far we’ve painted Ali’s room as well as our [...]
Our amazing trip to Washington is finally coming to an end, we have to wake up and go back to work in the morning. We took over a thousand pictures over the course of our nine day trip of us camping, jeeping, and hiking in the magnarvelous Little Naches River area of Washington. Check out [...]
We are officially back in Ohio! Its been a very hectic few weeks, but we are finally getting settled into a routine for the summer. Our routine is set to be disrupted yet again in late August, but I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start back at the beginning. Last fall, Meg and I decided [...]
Meg and I returned last week from our amazing trip up to Washington. We visited with Steve and Kelsey and Ryan and Sarah during a three-day backpacking excursion followed up by three days checking out Seattle, Bellevue, and Issaquah. We flew into Seattle on Wednesday evening and headed to Steve and Kelsey’s to get our [...]

4 comments 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 [...]
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 .

Xavier has recently started watching a cartoon on Disney XD called X-men: Evolution. 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 I think I pay [...]
July 27, 2009 - Filed Under: - 8 comments 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. http://www.joshandmeg.net/gallery/v/josh_and_meg/summer-2009/?g2_page=1
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 [...]
FTC takes down a spam provider « Akismet. Man, I totally called this a while back. I hope those people get the death sentence.
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. Ryan – Let me [...]
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 this [...]
April 29, 2009 - Filed Under: - 4 comments Wow, what a weekend we had. It was ridiculously busy, but over all it was a lot of fun and we got some awesome pictures out of it. To start things off, my parent’s and sister flew in on Thursday afternoon to visit and help us with the kids during the Tabije-Walters wedding. So we [...]
March 21, 2009 - Filed Under: - 5 comments Since Friday was my birthday, the kids and Meg made me a surprise birthday cake Thursday night. 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 [...]
January 26, 2009 - Filed Under: - 2 comments Well, we’ve been as busy as possible since we got back from our Ohio trip, but I have managed to put together a pretty good album of the best pictures from the trip. Check it out here. And enjoy it, because I managed to break our camera the first week back; so these might be [...]
December 13, 2008 - Filed Under: - 4 comments It’s been pretty crazy around here lately. After the loss of lappy, I was pretty much forced to take a break from most computer activity, so I started playing Xbox 360 a bit more frequently at night. (And by a bit, he means every single night.) Since the desk and 360 was (“were” Joshua. You’re [...]
So it has now been 4 days since we have had a computer at the Kephart household. I don’t know how much longer I can take it…
Today is a sad day for me. ze5170, my six year old hp laptop has finally passed on. He was with me through thick and thin, good times and bad. It all started shortly after my high school graduation in June of 2002…. I was just like every other middle class graduating senior, I received [...]
