This past weekend we did an iChat session with the twins and Grandma and Grandpa back in Michigan. The boys seemed to love and and we’re going to try and do it every few weeks from now on. That way the boys won’t yell “Stranger Danger” the next time they go to Michigan. More photos […]

There are two times a day that the boys are (almost) guaranteed to be in good moods. The first moment that they wake up when you walk into their room to greet them, and right after their bath in the evening, when they get a half hour or so to play before they go to […]

2 years ago I purchased the first iPhone the first day that it came out. I didn’t wait in line, but instead opted to stop at the apple store on the way home from work and get in and out in less then 10 minutes with my new phone. I paid the full price at […]

Ever since I switched from driving a big Toyota Sequoia to the Prius, it’s not uncommon to have people (even strangers) ask “Hey, what kind of mileage do you really get with that thing”. So a few weeks ago I decided to do a test, and see just how far I could drive on a […]

If there’s an up side to selling all of my shop equipment and the motorcycle, it’s that I was able to take a bit of that money and buy a new camera that I’ve wanted since last year (The Canon EOS 5D Mark II). And in typical nerd style, I took a few “unboxing” photos. […]
