Tough day at the office but it pales in comparison to my wife who’s caring for the baby, growing another baby and taking care of the house.
Family (170)
January 04, 2009, 12:43 AM
Playing with andrew while we wait for the colts v. Chargers game to start.

Waking up early because Andrew says so!

A nice, relaxing valentine’s day with my family!

Just gave some unused furniture to Mr. Johnson. Yay for less stuff being stored in my basement.
February 18, 2009, 11:20 PM
Home from a day in Guelph. Tomorrow I’m heading to Toronto. Fun fun!
February 21, 2009, 07:55 PM
Yawn. Hoping for a restful weekend and a few spare moments to do my taxes.
February 23, 2009, 02:31 AM
My mom uses twitter and posts ALOT!
February 25, 2009, 09:05 PM
Doctor appointments went well today. Both Mom and Baby #2 are coming along justttt fine!
February 28, 2009, 07:11 PM
Wife & Baby are sleeping and I found some time to tinker with my beautiful 24” iMac for awhile. Dad’s need to use their time wisely!
March 01, 2009, 02:05 AM
Mom - you need to be on iChat. Andrew wants to see Nana and Papa.
March 04, 2009, 03:10 AM
Long but pretty good day. Baby #2 and Mom are well. Great news. Andrew’s a laugh and a half.
March 07, 2009, 03:03 PM
Andrew just woke up from his morning nap. Wants to eat. Wants to play. Daddy needs a shower and shave!
March 07, 2009, 10:19 PM
Dad’s got a headache too mommy! Researching getting our TV over the air vs. cable. Would save ~$75 a month!
March 08, 2009, 01:21 PM
Putting together a million pieces of documentation for the universal child care benefit. We’re slackers.
March 08, 2009, 09:16 PM
Mommy & Baby are asleep. Daddy’s buying a couple of things online that will allow him to eliminate cable and save $70/month!
March 09, 2009, 12:08 AM
Just had a late dinner with the family. Andrew’s watching me type and reaching for my keyboard. He’s really in to electronics.
March 11, 2009, 01:53 AM
Seeing Andrew when I get home makes it all better though.
March 19, 2009, 01:06 AM
Drew’s sleeping soundly on Mommy right now. About to put him down to sleep for the night.
March 20, 2009, 12:22 AM
Drew was mega crank-ass this evening! Having two babies is going to rock!
March 21, 2009, 02:25 AM
Ollie & Sofie have transitioned from brother/sister to a husband/wife relationship. They’re an old married couple. It’s… complicated…
March 21, 2009, 02:25 AM
Alicia’s dissin’ my twittter approach. She says I’m blogging not tweeting. I think she’s full of shit.
March 21, 2009, 05:42 PM
Mom & Baby are asleep, so I actually took 5 minutes to customize my twitter design. GO STEELERS!
March 22, 2009, 03:13 PM
The weekend is for relaxing! Even for babies Mommy!
March 25, 2009, 09:30 PM
Left work a tad early today to run an errand. Home and watching my son play on the floor, sputtering away, which is his new favorite thing.
March 26, 2009, 05:07 PM
I wonder if Dad K knows what he’s payin’ Mom K to do at “work” all day
March 29, 2009, 03:27 PM
Got my homemade antenna installed in the attic! http://tinyurl.com/cnpzlb
March 31, 2009, 11:41 PM
Need a solution that is simple and easy for me and my family to use. That solution might be this: http://www.sagetv.com/hd_theater.html
April 01, 2009, 01:54 PM
Alicia’s not feeling well today. Daddy’s staying home.
April 03, 2009, 11:17 PM
Left work before 5pm today for the first time in… 2.5 years? Relaxing at home with the family. Enjoying a coffee right now.
April 04, 2009, 04:16 PM
About to pack the family up and go run some Saturday errands.
April 04, 2009, 11:08 PM
Just had spaghetti with my family. Drew made a mess of some arrowroot cookies. Now we’re in the loft relaxing.
April 05, 2009, 01:26 AM
Going to bed at 9:30PM. We’re wild in this household! Wooooo!
April 05, 2009, 10:17 PM
Ever notice that every Britney Spears song has her panting like a male dog in heat? It’s stupid.
April 06, 2009, 02:05 PM
Alicia’s not feeling well. Daddy’s home watching the family again today.
April 06, 2009, 06:04 PM
Mommy’s in bed. Baby’s asleep after a long-hard cry/fight. Daddy needs coffee.
April 07, 2009, 01:14 PM
Day #2 with family on lockdown with illness. Alicia’s feeling better but not out of the woods. Baby’s napping.
April 08, 2009, 11:23 PM
I feel bad. 2 days off from work due to family commitments. 1 day back today. Taking tomorrow off to squeeze in a 5 day vacation!
April 09, 2009, 05:59 PM
Dad’s enjoying the first day of his 5-day weekend. Our new media center experience in the Great Room is great! SageTV for anyone interested.
April 10, 2009, 02:17 PM
Alicia just made some pancakes during Drew’s morning nap. Very nice!
April 10, 2009, 06:33 PM
Remember Nana… in early August, you’ll be the care giver for this little man while Mom and Dad are busy with the little girl! Rest up!
April 13, 2009, 12:10 AM
Great Easter dinner here at the Kirk’s! Ham, Scallop Potatoes, Green Beans and Homemade Apple Pie for Dessert!
April 18, 2009, 02:41 AM
Yawn. Another week in the books. Good to be back home after 3 days in North Bay.
April 18, 2009, 05:46 PM
Already ran some errands this morning and took the dogs to the vet. Now I’m watching my baby boy play in the loft.
April 19, 2009, 07:39 PM
Andrew cheered me on for a little bit: http://tinyurl.com/ccommy
April 21, 2009, 11:19 PM
Busy day at the office today. Off to Toronto tomorrow. Chillin’ with the family this evening.
April 27, 2009, 01:35 AM
Watching celebrity apprentice with my hot wife.
May 03, 2009, 02:39 PM
My latest project is finally gaining momentum. I’ll be converting my HP network storage device into an Atom 330 machine running Mac OS X.
May 05, 2009, 11:08 PM
Enjoying the evening with the family after dinner. Drew’s playing on the floor in the loft. Daddy’s surfing (for now!)
May 11, 2009, 10:40 PM
Longgggg day at the office. I’m glad to be home with the family.
May 15, 2009, 11:16 PM
Gotta go change a poopy diaper. This task has been delegated by my wonderful wife.
May 18, 2009, 02:41 PM
The grass has been cut. The baby is about to take a nap. Daddy might be able to sneak in 45-60 minutes on his project.
May 21, 2009, 10:47 PM
A successful trip to Toronto today. Relaxing with the family. Andrew’s a bit crusty but it’s all good.
May 23, 2009, 12:36 AM
Man. Watching Andrew crawl smoothly for about 5 feet continuously this evening was awesome! He’ll be dunking on Daddy in no time.
May 24, 2009, 01:09 AM
Home after a great late afternoon / early evening dinner party at Jeff & Susan’s house. Andrew is toastttttt. Asleep.
May 28, 2009, 01:15 AM
Getting ready for 1.5 days away from the family. Taking 20 of my Sr. Staff to Toronto for an afternoon of fun and a day of formal planning
May 29, 2009, 11:08 PM
I’m home! I’m exhausted after 1.5 days in the city. The planning sessions went extremely well. We rolled out a new Project Mgmt Framework.
May 30, 2009, 03:52 PM
Mom - I’m hungry and I miss your potato salad.
May 31, 2009, 04:27 PM
I just picked up a new enclosed home theater cabinet from Leons. Need to enclose all of those cables and gear now that Drew is on the move.
June 02, 2009, 09:09 PM
Home early because Drew’s not feeling great and Mommy’s tired.
June 03, 2009, 12:03 AM
Andrew’s been okay this evening. He was laughing at Daddy snapping his fingers for about 20 minutes straight. Fingers sore now!
June 05, 2009, 11:45 PM
Just went for a nice walk with the family. Laid out on the front lawn for a few.
June 08, 2009, 12:14 AM
Andrew’s first play visit to the park! http://bit.ly/IsEOe
June 13, 2009, 11:58 AM
Beautiful Saturday morning out there. Andrew’s still asleep. Daddy has to cut the grass this morning.
June 16, 2009, 04:43 PM
Back from a long morning at the lab. Alicia made it through her glucose test… now we just have to wait on the results. Mom & Baby napping.
June 17, 2009, 12:27 AM
I’m starting to burn DVDs of Treehouse shows for Drew to watch in the car. I’m such a Dad.
June 17, 2009, 11:42 PM
Longggg day in Toronto today. Took me 3 hours and 45 minutes to drive home in rush hour traffic. It’s 130km! Ridiculous.
June 20, 2009, 01:41 AM
Long week full of travel. Daddy’s exhausted just like Mommy. Hoping for a good night’s rest to lead into a relaxing weekend.
June 22, 2009, 12:47 AM
Quick break between Daddy tasks of my own (about to pull Drew out of the bathtub). Happy Father’s Day Dad!
June 29, 2009, 12:44 AM
Drew was awesome today at a BBQ w/ our friends. 4 other kids ranging from 1 year to 6 years. Drew laughed and played. Very cool to watch.
July 10, 2009, 10:38 PM
Another week in the books. Only four more of these and I’ll be a Daddy for a second time! Exciting!
July 11, 2009, 01:40 PM
Cut the back lawn this morning quite early (started before 8am - sorry neighbors) and turned Andrew’s car seat around! He’s facing front!
July 12, 2009, 12:53 AM
Home after a long day on the road back and forth from North Toronto. Just put the little man down for the night.
July 12, 2009, 02:08 PM
Front lawn cut this morning. Have various odd jobs to do this afternoon while baby sitting the little dude.
July 12, 2009, 11:58 PM
Heh. Andrew gets so clumsy when he’s tired. Falling all over the place, crying. It’s sad but cute at the same time.
July 15, 2009, 12:27 AM
Hehe. Andrew’s 1st B-day party/cake didn’t go exactly as we anticipated… he was overwhelmed. Cried more than mashed! Oh well!
July 22, 2009, 02:21 AM
Not much sleep last night. Combination of temperature, pregnant wife and young son. Long day at the office on top of that = a tired Jim!
July 23, 2009, 11:29 PM
Rearranging Rooms at the Kirk Household. Gotta get the place in order as per Momma’s specifications!
July 24, 2009, 11:37 PM
A very long and tiring week in the books. Two more working weeks until Daddy goes on baby vacation for 3 weeks! 9 working days!
July 25, 2009, 04:08 PM
Mom & Drew are fast asleep. Daddy’s taking some quiet time to surf and putter.
July 27, 2009, 10:46 PM
Long crazy day at the office. Chillin’ with the family after a good dinner.
July 30, 2009, 03:12 AM
Drew had a late nap and was up until almost 10:30PM. Mommy & Daddy are zonked!
July 30, 2009, 12:57 PM
Another trip to Hamilton today for a Baby Doctor appointment. We’re not far away now!
July 31, 2009, 09:21 PM
Home a little early this evening for a change. Hello long weekend!
August 09, 2009, 01:35 AM
Picked up my Mom at the Airport. 2 hours in to her stay, she’s already won Drew over. He’s bouncing up and down on her lap right now! Late.
August 09, 2009, 11:53 AM
Alicia and I switched sides of the bed last night (more convenient for the Bassinet) and this morning I’m all sore. Coincidence?
August 10, 2009, 11:51 PM
Emma Rosemarie Kirk has joined us as of 5:47pm! 7 lbs, 2oz! Both Mom and Emma are doing great!
August 12, 2009, 12:11 AM
Drew’s down for the count. Daddy’s working on getting pictures of Emma on our website. Then a Shower and back to Hospital for night #2.
August 13, 2009, 11:15 PM
Emma’s still in the hospital - jaundice. Hope to bring her and Mommy home tomorrow. I’m home with Drew & Nana for the night.
August 13, 2009, 11:16 PM
Nana and I drove Drew to the hospital this afternoon for a visit with Mommy. They haven’t been a part for 4 hours before let alone 4 days!
August 14, 2009, 02:38 AM
Good night. I’m going to pray for a quiet night for Alicia & Emma in the hospital. Hopefully we’ll all be in our home tomorrow. Love you!
August 14, 2009, 10:39 AM
I love you aliciakirk05 a.k.a Super Mommy! Hopefully we can bring our baby girl home today!
August 14, 2009, 03:31 PM
Emma is gorgeous like her Mommy!
August 14, 2009, 10:46 PM
I’ve got my family safely home. It feels great to have everyone together again.
August 17, 2009, 01:22 AM
Good day. Let’s see how night #3 goes with Emma!
August 17, 2009, 05:52 PM
Out with Mommy and baby Emma. Seeing the doctor, getting some blood taken and a run to Toys-R-us.
August 17, 2009, 11:55 PM
Another good day with the family. Drew’s about done with his bath so he’ll go to bed shortly. Then Ms. Emma will keep us occupied I’m sure!
August 20, 2009, 12:48 AM
Drew just puked on Daddy. He’s not feeling good
August 23, 2009, 01:30 AM
Emma pooped on my hand this evening. Been a Dad for well over a year, now with my 2nd child… never happened before. Special memories!
August 27, 2009, 01:48 PM
Just took Drew for a walk. Ran into a neighbor (Debbie) who asked if my Mom had made it home alright.
August 28, 2009, 02:30 AM
Put Emma down to sleep. Hopefully we get more than 2 hours tonight!
August 28, 2009, 01:19 PM
Daddy was up with Em between 2:30am and 3:40am and that was it! I agree with aliciakirk05 - sign me up for lots of those.
September 10, 2009, 02:03 AM
Drew seems restless due to pain caused by many teeth breaking through. Emma’s mega stuffed up. This equates to little sleep for mom & dad
September 13, 2009, 01:09 PM
I have a new definition for ‘joy’. It’s watching my son walking towards me from the other end of the great room.
September 16, 2009, 01:42 AM
Tired after a long, hard but productive day at the office. Drewbie’s in bed. Emma is sleeping (for now). About to follow their lead.
September 16, 2009, 11:06 PM
Relaxing with the family after another busy day at the office.
September 25, 2009, 11:25 AM
Quite a bug that has invaded the Kirk household. We’re all sick… and I never get sick!
October 03, 2009, 01:31 AM
Both the kids are asleep. For once I’m sitting at my iMac fiddling with my fantasy football roster. S’nice.
October 05, 2009, 10:39 AM
Yawn. Another early start (thanks Emma!). Off to shower and get ready for work.
October 16, 2009, 10:15 AM
Up early with Emma. Gave her a bottle and just put her back down to bed… about to start my day with a shower.
October 22, 2009, 01:15 AM
Good day at the office today. Just put Drew & Emma down for the night. Time for a nice little drink that will tuck me right into bed!
October 24, 2009, 11:44 AM
Dad was up his daughter at 5:30AM. Watched some Entourage while she ate and then dozed.
October 30, 2009, 12:57 AM
My boy’s a tough little dude. I hope he doesn’t hurt himself as many times as I did growing up. His Mom won’t be able to take it!
November 07, 2009, 01:30 PM
Tired. Essentially up since ~5:00AM with smaller baby.
November 11, 2009, 02:22 AM
Lord, give Alicia and I patience right now. Emma’s Colic makes Drew’s look like a tropical vacation.
November 14, 2009, 08:08 PM
Alicia and I rearranged the stuff in the basement to accommodate the construction that will likely start next week.
November 15, 2009, 01:26 PM
Good night sleep last night. Thanks Emma! About to run out and run an errand.
November 19, 2009, 11:20 AM
Can’t go back to sleep after being up with Alicia and Emma during a feed hour. Sore.
November 22, 2009, 12:22 PM
Yawn. Emma slept the entire night! Basically 11 hours straight.
November 29, 2009, 02:23 AM
It feels good to be back in our own home. So warm. So comfortable.
December 05, 2009, 01:51 AM
Survived another week at the office. Lots to do this weekend. I’ll rest when I’m retired or the kids move out… whichever comes first.
December 06, 2009, 12:12 PM
The kids slept through the night. S’good.
December 11, 2009, 02:44 AM
Long day at the office. Kids are in bed… turning off the Steelers game (because it sucks) and settling in to my iMac with a cold Gin & 7.
December 13, 2009, 03:23 AM
Good evening out at Alain & Deirdre’s new home. Nice to see everyone. Drew might have fallen down a flight of stairs.
December 13, 2009, 01:57 PM
Good night sleep. 1 cup of coffee down. We’ll be going out to shop again this morning. It’s fun with 2 babies.
December 16, 2009, 12:10 PM
Holy smokes last night sucked. Drew up shrieking (upset tummy) from 11:40PM to 1:45AM. Emma up before 6:00AM. TIRED.
December 17, 2009, 03:26 AM
Tired. Wife is cuddling me for warmth. I’m hot now. Why must women do this?
December 17, 2009, 10:51 PM
Playing with the kids in the loft. Good times.
December 18, 2009, 04:32 PM
Home helping out with the kids since Alicia’s sick. Playing in the loft.
December 19, 2009, 02:40 AM
Long day. Heading to bed. Hopefully the kids sleep well.
December 19, 2009, 06:43 PM
Got a brief nap in while the kids semi-slept.
December 20, 2009, 03:19 AM
Going to bed. Hope the kids sleep better tonight.
December 20, 2009, 10:04 PM
Taking pictures off the digital camera. We’re so busy with two kids now that we don’t get around to taking as many these days. Sorry Emma!
December 22, 2009, 02:38 AM
In other news, I officially finished my Christmas shopping after work tonight. Woot! Momma Bear’s going to like her presents!
December 23, 2009, 02:28 AM
My wife has me installing DIablo II again. The last time we played this game together we had no children. Now we have 2 babies…
December 25, 2009, 12:06 AM
Going after a 32” Sony TV for the basement at 8:00PM when Future Shop opens its online Boxing Day sale… wish me luck.
December 25, 2009, 04:04 AM
I did get my TV! 32” Sony LCD for $399 w/ free shipping. Really good deal!
December 25, 2009, 02:39 PM
Opening the gifts went well. Drew was more interested in the new toys (cars!) than actually tearing off the wrapping paper. Mom & Dad helped
December 25, 2009, 03:19 PM
Emma up from a little Christmas morning nap. Mommy working on the Turkey. Drew playing with his new choo choo train.
December 25, 2009, 11:17 PM
Drew destroying Christmas Tree. Emma crying and puking. Merry Christmas!
December 27, 2009, 03:08 AM
Heading to bed for the night. Sleep well babies!
December 27, 2009, 10:28 PM
Playing with Drew in the loft so he can’t freak out while Alicia packs away the groceries… it’s complicated…
December 28, 2009, 02:02 AM
Kids are down (hopefully for the night… but doubt it). House is closed down. Settling in with Alicia to play some video games.
December 28, 2009, 03:26 AM
Heading to bed. Emma is fussing already so it should be a fun night. My turn to be up… yay!
December 28, 2009, 12:36 PM
Good times. I was up with Emma from 11pm-12am. Alicia was up with her at 4:00AM. She’s definitely regressed a bit in the sleep department.
December 28, 2009, 05:54 PM
I was out in an errand in our 2007 Honda Fit. What a great car. I’m glad we kept it instead of my Nissan when we bought our family vehicle..
December 28, 2009, 05:56 PM
… it will last a very long time. Perfect commuter for me and 2nd vehicle for the family. I used it to pick up our Christmas Tree too!
December 28, 2009, 10:03 PM
I’m considering converting my personal excel documents to Google Docs… I am becoming less and less of a true geek every day.
December 29, 2009, 03:01 AM
Heading to bed. I hope Emma sleeps a bit!
December 30, 2009, 01:21 AM
Just converted my main budget spreadsheet to Google Docs. The collaboration functions should make it easier for Alicia and I to update it.
December 30, 2009, 01:33 AM
Alicia and I use “Busycal” to manage our busy lives… it synchronizes between our 2 Macs. Now, I’m syncing it to Google Calendar too.
December 31, 2009, 02:10 PM
Emma taking a nap. Mommy & Drew getting cleaned up… I’ve had one cup of coffee… might be time for another!

Yesterday I made my own high definition TV antenna: http://tinyurl.com/dkhtvc
March 18, 2009, 01:38 AM
Leaning up against the wall in the living room, I get 18 channels, 8 of which are in beautiful high definition. CTV, CBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc
March 18, 2009, 01:39 AM
I’ve cancelled my Cable TV! Will save $80/month. Next step: install this antenna (or similar) in the attic.
March 22, 2009, 11:41 PM
I get FOX HD now! Go go gadget tripod! http://tinyurl.com/cn97e5

Good night. Licia and I just watched celebrity apprentice. Poor dennis rodman.
April 10, 2009, 05:08 PM
Just got some sweet video of drew “log rolling” around his room.. until he whacked his head on the crib. I’ll have to edit that part out.

Doing a significant computer part purge. Posted a whack of stuff online for sale and have already sold the bulk of it. Feels good to purge.

My new desk is being delivered this morning! Have to turn off my iMac for a bit. Websites will be down.
May 19, 2009, 02:08 AM
I’m posting this tweet from my new “FrankenMac”. $145 in new parts + stuff I had lying around = Mac Mini for a quarter of the price. Cool.
May 29, 2009, 11:08 PM
I’m uploading a new video of Drew crawling to YouTube. This bugger can motor now!

Migrating my SageTV Server from my iMac to my Atom-based Hackintosh media server.

Happy Anniversary Licia! Enjoyed takeout from Boston Pizza! (we’re fancy schmancy!)

Drew is standing up by the ottoman watching TV and babbling away!
July 25, 2009, 12:22 AM
Storage is so cheap. I have 5TB of storage hanging off my media server storing video. That’s over 5,100 GB which is over 5,200,000 MBs!

Setting up my iMac after doing a clean install of Snow Leopard. I haven’t used it enough yet to comment on how much of an improvement it is.

I think the concept of Google’s Chrome OS is an interesting one. The notion of all your data sitting in the cloud doesn’t really scare me.
December 01, 2009, 02:25 AM

I want a web surfing tablet <i>appliance</i>… Anyone? Bueller?
December 10, 2009, 12:20 AM
I would wait for the tablet that Apple is slated to deliver in 2010… but I doubt it will be similarly priced.
December 10, 2009, 12:22 AM
Another thought - Google’s launching Chrome OS in 2010… the market could get flooded with similar devices. Google will have more support.
December 11, 2009, 02:46 AM
Thus far I’m enjoying Chrome. It seems faster than Safari. http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/features_mac.html
December 28, 2009, 04:52 PM
I need to stop looking at the deals on Netbooks. I WILL wait for either the Apple Tablet or something released by Google around Chrome OS…

Looking forward to snow blowing tonight. Not.

It’s Superbowl Sunday! Go Steelers!

Steelers up 10 at half. Here we go Steelers, here we go!

Getting closer to being able to cancel cable…saving money = teh win.

Feeling better this morning. I think I irritated my esophagus and it was swolen/inflamed and now the swelling is starting to go down.
May 23, 2009, 03:36 PM
The run to the dump went well… also picked up a garden hose reel and a squeegee to clean the outside windows…
May 30, 2009, 03:51 PM
Phew. Having a big yard is awesome until you start mowing… I spread the pain. Back on Saturday morning. Front on Sunday morning.
June 05, 2009, 11:46 PM
I picked up 2 rain barrels! Hopefully that will help us keep the grass green without blowing up my water bill.
July 05, 2009, 09:02 PM
Latest Antenna tweaking has yielded great results. Watching Golf in HD via the CBS affiliate in Erie, PA. Should help get Steelers games!
August 15, 2009, 03:59 PM
Finished mowing the lawn in the back and running the weed whacker. It needed it. Front lawn tomorrow.
August 26, 2009, 09:15 PM
Watching CBS out of Erie, PA via Antenna. Thanks to my Winegard HD-8800. I’m 90 miles away as the crow flies. Cool.
November 20, 2009, 02:00 AM
I would argue that it’s probably safer from loss there. It also becomes pervasively available. It becomes less about the PC or the device…
December 13, 2009, 05:38 PM
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4738788 Go Steelers! Fire the Special Teams coach and the Offensive Coordinator please. Thanks.
December 13, 2009, 10:05 PM
Having no Steeler game on a Sunday takes most of the fun out of it for me… despite being a huge Football fan in general.
December 21, 2009, 12:35 AM
What!? Kick the field goal, up 2 points, 4 minutes left… and the Steelers try an onside kick? I can’t get past this one. Unbelievable.
December 21, 2009, 01:51 AM
I can’t believe they won that game. Can’t believe it.
December 21, 2009, 03:57 AM
Eh. Russel should have won. It was a game and he was the best player. That’s like not giving Michael Jordan the MVP because he was a meanie.
December 26, 2009, 07:02 PM
Played a little bit of Patapon 2 (demo) on my PSP Go… that game looks fun!

insane day at the office. An end to a tough week. An end to an even tougher month.
March 11, 2009, 01:52 AM
March sucks at work. End of our fiscal year. Brings a whole new meaning to the term “March Madness”.
March 18, 2009, 01:38 AM
I found the how-to on the internet. It looks really ghetto and I thought it would never work… Was I ever wrong!
March 25, 2009, 12:01 AM
T-Minus 5 business days until the end of the fiscal year. Pure insanity. Auditors up my butt, everyone looking to recover money… argh.

A pretty good Monday at the office as far as Mondays go.

Awesome-looking Saturday out there. Drew’s going down for his first nap of the day.
April 11, 2009, 06:42 PM
Cleaned out the garage a bit. Managed to get the snow blower up on the storage loft by myself… swept it out. Moved BBQ out back. Nice.
April 13, 2009, 11:39 AM
Morning. Looks to be another beautiful day out there! Need coffee.

Woah. Long day spent in the backyard. I had to line the back of the fence with 2”x6” for the landscapers. Took about 4 hours.

Drew pointed at things he wanted this evening for the first time. Very cool!
July 25, 2009, 12:23 AM
All of this cost less than $500. I remember spending the same money on a 4.3GB drive. 10 years later = same money but 1200 times the storage

Tired and sore. Ice Cream would probably help.

What other cheap tablets out there exist? I’m sure most of them try to do everything a normal PC would do well which is why they suck?
