I also decided that it was time to find a new theme since my last one (BigBlue) was feeling a little old to me. I’m not all too impressed with my web design skills, so I do...

The time I should wait to play with David after he eats, but I can never wait that long. From last night (click for larger version):Here’s a closeup of that last one:He was ready to get back to playing!

We waited much longer to file our taxes this year because the good ol’ State of Illinois took nearly forever to get a social security number provisioned to David. They must have a room full of monkeys banging out SSNs until they find an unused one&...

The hard drive on my webserver took a dive this afternoon, so I’m in the process of getting things moved around and back online.

Ana’s new PDA arrived today, the Asus A626, and it’s pretty darn cool. Now I want one, but I have to keep telling myself that I’m near a computer for the vast majority of my day so there’s just no need…damn!
Ana discovered t...
