The first ever WordCamp Minneapolis – St. Paul was a full day of nothing but WordPress and it was great. First off, the BestBuy campus was a fantastic location. For those that have never been there, it’s easy to get to, easy to get around, and very cool on the inside. This was the perfect […]
I hardly ever think about screen burn anymore. The idea of leaving one image on my computer screen for so long that it starts to burn the image into it forever doesn’t seem like it would happen. That’s what the screen saver or sleep mode is for anyway. But what about my iPad? Most of […]
Well it had to happen, Lily got sick. We’ve been so blessed with a child that got some colds, a fever once, but never anything to terrible. Until last night, at about 1am. You see I was sound asleep until something woke me. My wife darted out of bed before I knew what was going on and […]
I keep looking at microblogging sites, like Posterous and Tumbler, and think they look cool, but I never get around to doing much with them. To be honest, I love my WordPress and I don’t know why I’d want to create more content elsewhere. I can see the advantage from ease of use, but the lack […]
There is a great post over at Nerdy Apple Bottom about a mom who’s 5-year-old boy wanted to dress up as Daphne from Scooby Doo for Halloween. Mom agreed and he was so happy, but not everyone was. Turns out, he was afraid of being made fun of at school. But it wasn’t his classmates […]
It’s never to young to start exercising right? That’s why Lily’s been on Wii Fit from a very early age. Ok, so she doesn’t do anything on it other than get weighed. It’s actually a good way to track her weight progress over the months. You see, with Wii Fit Plus you have the ability […]
I’ve been looking into the Bad Behavior WordPress plugin to help stop some of the spam comments that I’ve been getting. Turns out, it made things horribly worse. I’m not sure why, but the plugin decided to block Google bot. By the time I noticed, the damage had been done and my visitor stats are […]
Last night was Lily’s first Halloween where she dressed up and went trick or treating; her second overall. The first place we went was the grocery store. Each department hands out some sort of goodie and we got string cheese, an apple, banana, teddy grams, pop and even a VHS video. No candy though at […]
I hope everyone has a good Halloween this year! We carved six pumpkins and I colored one at work. This will be Lily’s second Halloween and her first really dressing up. We are going to hit a few houses and get Dad some candy before coming home and handing out our own.
I love country music because it’s real and sometimes it just hits home. While listening to Taylor Swifts new album the other day I came across the song ‘Never Grow Up’ and it hit me; this is me and my little girl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1YGmOit8G0 Your little hand’s wrapped around my finger And it’s so quiet in […]
