We’re having a BOY!
Had the ultrasound today
and he showed his gender to the ultrasound tech
This one seemed just as uncooperative as Carson was during his ultrasound, but less dedicated to blocking the tech from telling if he was a girl or a boy. Now to start the name debate… heh.
Picnic @ Eagle Creek
Carson’s daycare held a picnic for those families that may want to go… we had a really good time and Carson enjoyed playing with classmates on the weekend.
Nick turns SIX!!!
We got to go to Nick’s 6th birthday party, it was a Harry Potter party…
Here’s the album:

In the interest of not having a hundred photo’s link from here use the album to check out all the action, I am going to directly link my favorite part; potion creation.
And then close with my favorite photo:
Thanks for having us over to your house Nick, we’re looking forward to a really fun summer.
Friday Goofing around
Here’s a typical Friday at our house:
So long May
Out with May in with June… temperatures bordering on 90 degrees has been sign enough to me that summer was here. Now with Memorial Day over swimming pools everywhere swing open their security gates. We took a dip in our neighborhood pool last night, the water is still a bit chilly for me.
Summer brings us a whole new batch of movies (and the promise of some more to follow in the fall/winter). Here’s a quick list of trailers for the ones I’ll be looking to go see:
- Transformers
- The Simpsons
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- Die Hard
- Pirates of the Caribbean at World’s End
- National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets
- Fantastic Four 2: The Rise of the Silver Surfer
Thursday feature time,
This day in history
1911: RMS Titanic launched
RMS Titanic was an Olympic class passenger liner that became infamous for her collision with an iceberg on 14 April 1912 and dramatic sinking on 15 April 1912. Construction of the Titanic, funded by the American J.P. Morgan and his International Mercantile Marine Co., began on 31 March 1909. Titanic No. 401 was launched two years and two months later on 31 May 1911.
The Woot-Off is still cranking folks.
Curve ball
I designed a new logo today and have altered my template to compliment this new item. Please give me feedback. I’d like to know what everyone thinks.
Short weeks are good..
I like when Wednesdays feel like Tuesdays.. that means that on “Friday” I won’t have to come into work.
Couple neato tech things:
- WiFi hedgehog? Yea, that’s cool.. especially if you live in a dorm or apartment with a bunch of open WiFi networks nearby.
- Nvidia is set to release software to allow your GPU to take over some cycles from your CPU when it is bored.
- Google has launched its new “Street View” feature for Google Maps… interesting.
- Apple releases iTunes 7.2.. to prepare for iTunes Plus (DRM Free music)
- Microsoft announces… well, just go look.. Surface
Alright, on to our Wednesday feature..
LIFE CHANGING TIPS AND TRICKS!!!!
Hot on the heels of the May 9 update on how to sleep on a hot night, How to stop brain freeze! It is the season for cold treats, so take the time to read this over and avoid the dreaded BRAIN FREEZE!
I have been using Geni.com for sometime to record my family tree.. it’s a great site with a ton of really nice tools/features.
Here is there latest feature add-ons:
- Four new tree views: Calendar, Map, Index, and Discussion
- Photo Tagging, Enhanced Privacy, and Tweaks to existing features
- Family Friends!
If you are into genealogy and might be thinking about putting your info into a system to help organize it.. I encourage you to try out Geni.com and let me know so we can be family friends. Oh, one last note from the genealogy end… someone that posts at the Geni.com site wrote a good guide on how to use social networking sites to find relatives.
How about a quick movie review? Alright, we took Carson to go see Shrek the Third. It was really good, the whole family enjoyed it. They did very well at moving the story along from the first two movies using enough of the old schtick and characters from the previous flicks, while introducing a good amount of new material too keep it fresh. I often see movies in the theater and think that I would’ve been better off waiting to rent it for home viewing. Shrek the Third did not fall into that category. I will also be buying a copy to watch a few more times at home.
Finally a couple of vids:
John Stewart exposes the “Under Investigation” saying.
And PTI on ESPN features internet-style video clips… lol
