Since I threw Abigail under the bus a few days ago it seems only fair that I throw Elliott too. Now with Elliott there is the common quirkiness of boyish pleasure in bodily noises (which I fully encourage and I can only hope, inspire) and the extreme desire for violence (throwing, punching, screaming). This seems…

I love the world and all it’s problems
The world is saturated with self-diagnosis. I’m not a fan of all the marketing driven “emotional issue” products that seems to introduce a new neurosis every month (Attention Overload Disorder, Multiple Bowel Syndrome, Overexposed Thumb Cramping, or whatever). Often it seems a convenient label to absolve people from being reasonable and self-controlled. But when things…

What we are learning: Sun and Jin are happy and smiling. I like that (and Jin finally got those cuffs off; ’bout freaking time) Kate killed her father (Wayne), who she thought was her step-father because he was abusive (most likely in many ways). So, she blows up the house, her mom turns her in,…
Read MoreA nice way to end a vacation
How was Thanksgiving you ask? Good. Overall good. It’s never a vacation as a parent, though as the kids get older there is less to fuss over. Though, our kids are weird – they wanted to go NO WHERE. Absolutely no where. “Hey, let’s go to the aquarium in Baltimore!” — “I don’t want to”,…

Read MoreLost: Recap (S2,E7)
What we (now) know: The beginning of the episode — brilliant. Was as captivating, horrific and unnerving as Episode 1. The tail-enders were scoped out, and picked off for who was the “fittest” and “best” (in other words, good) by the “Others” in what one would assume is a Utopian experiment Mr Eko is still…

I don’t travel much, and I’m thankful. But in roughly 3 or so hours I\’ll hit I-75 South to Chattanooga TN for the CRE824 Design Conference. I believe there will be speakers and contests and people designing things in 24 hours. I’m not entirely sure, but when my friend Joshua invited, I couldn’t say no….

I updated some of my beard growth progress. Have I said how much I love the new camera? I’m getting much more comfortable with it, and the settings, etc. Best purchase of the year.
