So, my submission to The Mirror Project was accepted. I’m really happy with the picture and how it turned out. In other photographic news, Max’s birthday pics are up! We had a great time, and better yet, Max had a ball. We watched Monsters Inc., played around a lot and had a lot of fun. […]
In the spirit of documentation, here are even more pictures! As a little birthday treat, we took Max to Chuck E. Cheese. I’m not sure who had more fun.
I told you about it before, now I have photographic evidence to share. Today, my son turns three. Three years ago we were in the hospital, nervous, full of anticipation and ready to welcome him into the world. I love him more than I can say, and his mother more than I’ll ever be able […]
This poll from CNN disturbs me. I had a big long post about why, but I couldn’t get out what I really want to say, so you look at it and tell me what you think.
Max got his hair cut today. Jen took him in, and in the heat of the moment had them cut off almost all his hair! He has a quarter of an inch left all around (or less). It’s really cute, but makes him look so much older! He already looks like he’s four, but the […]
If you create a database, don’t expect it to live forever. Always keep a backup of at least your schema, and preferrably your data. After having experienced a total data loss, I’m at least reassured that I kept my schema on a system other than the one the database was running on. I had to […]
We watched two new cop shows this weekend, Robbery Homicide Division and Boomtown. First, Robbery Homicide Division was ok. It’s better than CSi, but far worse than any of the Law & Order series or NYPD Blue. The weird part is it’s hard to nail down what’s wrong with it. LA is ripe for a […]
If I were rich, I’d get one of these for the office, one of these for upstairs to go along with my work provided Powerbook and abandon the PC World forever. While I’m dreaming, I’d have 1.5mb/sec DSL, a wireless network and everything would have Airport cards so there aren’t wires strung all over the […]
So, I took Jen to see Sweet Home Alabama last night. Oh my, what a crap movie. I’ll start with the two good things about the movie, and then go into the myriad sins it commits. There were three highlights: Candace Bergen, Ethan Embry and Fred Ward, all underused, but they managed to stand out […]
I love that I’m ahead of the curve on something. I used to use definition lists because they were easy to style (back in the wild days before CSS was widely supported). Now, unordered and ordered lists are easy to style. My favorite is to use margin-left:-15px to keep those bullets lined up with that […]
