The Mississippi Pictures

The pictures from the trip are up and organized into sets. Here they all are: Day One – This included sledding, and dinner at Leatha’s: the Temple of Pork. Max Takes Pictures – I let Max use the camera and iPhoto to take pictures around the house. He loved tweaking all the settings on pictures, […]

Needin’ a Little Camera Advice

My little Kodak 4 megapixel point and shoot is showing its age. It’s never been particularly good at using the right flash mode indoors, and it’s getting worse. The more I look at photos from Cindy, Jason, Elsa and Rannie, the more I want a DSLR. Cindy and Jason go on and on (without stopping, […]

Home

We made it home! Splitting the trip up into two even days instead of trying to front-load it like the trip there worked really well. We were in no shape for the long day (although two short days would have been nice). We made it home this afternoon after leaving Knoxville at 7:30 this morning. […]

Five Things You May Not Know About Kevin

I got tagged by Greg, so here we go… five things you may not know about me, in no particular order. I was a TV “star” on a Tucson Public Access TV Show called Tech X. I was a floating head called Otto (they had blue screen and everything) and sat behind the two hosts […]

Merry Christmas!

We’ve got limited bandwidth here in Mississippi at Jen’s parents’ house, but we’re having a good time anyway. Max has been taking lots of pictures and playing in iPhoto, there are lots of pictures of the boys playing with Buddy, being goofy, opening presents, and hanging out. We’re having lots of fun eating good food […]

Lacking Bandwidth

Verizon’s high speed EVDO stuff hasn’t made it down here, so I’m stuck at dial-up speeds for the next week. So… there won’t be a whole lot of blogging, but the Sidekick works, so I’ll be updating my Twitter page fairly often, so check that for updates.\ It’s morning in Mississippi, and it was a […]

In Mississippi

We made it. Today was fairly short, although with a lot more rain than yesterday. There are lots of funny stories about the boys sleeping on a hide-a-bed, adventures in dining (Leatha’s BBQ in Hattiesburg, MS: Best pulled pork on the planet Earth, and this is from a guy who’s tried a bunch in a […]

Road Trippin’

We made it through day one! We made it through the first leg of the trip just fine. Brian had a couple “I’m two” moments, but really, they weren’t bad at all. We stopped just three times, two potty breaks and a break for lunch outside Roanoke.\ The stats for today: 590 miles 10.2 hours […]

Directions

We’re leaving for Jen’s parents’ new house in Mississippi later this week, and we’ve decided to drive instead of fly. I have all this time off, and we haven’t really done a true family road trip since Brian was born, so I figured it’s time. We’ve got the van, all the adapters for our toys […]

Geeks Love *

It’s scary how easily these things get started. All it took was one little verbal slip in a meeting, and now we have t-shirts. I got mine today when I made a little trip to the office to show off a prototype. They turned out way better than I expected (because Cindy never sleeps, apparently).\ […]
