SNL did a skit about Maraka and her pet “Mittens”. As a parent who is forced to watch Dora repeatedly and wants that damn fox to steal Dora’s map, this made me laugh until I cried: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb7eLgaddI4

Sad Day – Missing Family Member (Lost Dog)
It’s a relatively sad day for the Porter family. We have been searching for Ike since January 7th but are losing hope. It started when I let him out early that morning. Since then, Saint Louis has been plagued with exceptionally cold weather. Almost every night, Avery expresses her concerns and tells us how muchContinue reading “Sad Day – Missing Family Member (Lost Dog)”
Christmas Morning
Today marked a number of firsts for Christmas. It was Owen’s first Christmas ever. It was Gabe’s first Christmas where he understood what to do with presents. His patent move was to unleash the fists of fury with wrapping paper being thrown over both shoulders. For Avery, it was the first Christmas where she understoodContinue reading “Christmas Morning”

I am not sure if this is new or not, but I love the fact that I do not feel as if IContinue reading “iTunes: Pre-Ordering Albums”
Obituary – Bye Bye Powerbook G4
Obituary: After over 3 years with the machine, my Powerbook G4 has come to the end of its life. Arriving it January 2003, the machine served it’s purpose well and did it with all the vigor one could expect of the PPC platform. The tragedy was not cause by obsolescence, but by the unforgiving forceContinue reading “Obituary – Bye Bye Powerbook G4”
Back to Blogging – Why? and Why Now?
I have decided to start blogging again. There are two primary reasons for this – personal and professional/industry. The first and foremost is that I want to keep a record of things that have been happening in my personal life. Time seems to be accelerating. My three children are growing up so fast. I wantContinue reading “Back to Blogging – Why? and Why Now?”
