thanks for your help mom
I was really blessed to have preachers cover for me over the last month while I was taking paternity leave. My mom actually covered for me last Sunday. And the congregation thought she was the best sub yet. I knew it, I was just saving the best for last. Actually, I thought it would be cool to have mom support my paternity leave in this way, and she would get to see the baby too.

new headphones for bill
i just got a new pair of Smokin Skullcandy SC-SBW3.5 Buds (White) noise isolating earbuds. the fit and finish is pretty cheap, but they were only $18.95 on amazon. they sound good and they block out a lot of ambient noise. maybe too much especially around people that i don’t want to completely block out whilst listening to my tunes. my out of the box opinion: cheap presentation, but they...

Twitteriffic
I have been twitter[ing] over the last 48 hours. It is a lot of fun. What is twitter? Basically, it is a new web 2.0 way to share and find out what people are doing by asking, “What are you doing now?” I have my twitters updated to the houseofchu.org instantly. Follow what I am doing there or better join twitter and add me as a friend (John Edwards did).

Vista on my Mac
I am testing Vista and MS Office 2007 on my Macbook. I wanted to experience “the Wow”. I am using Parallels and so I haven’t been able to take advantage of all the Vista eye candy, since at the moment Parallels does not support 3d Graphics. This is a bit of a bummer since Vista seems to be just a bit fatter version of XP with cool graphics. I do like the gadgets. And the new...
I have a web cam that I rarely use
I have a web cam, iChat, and Skype with no one to talk to. My cousins Matt, Chris, and Mark use iChat and I connect with them every once in awhile on iChat and we talk about the Mac and family stuff. But what about the PC people that I know and love? I have tried to connect with people using Skype which is cross platform and I set my mom up on her computer. But her pc is so slow. My sister got...
QuickSilver is Cool
I am just now getting into QuickSilver. It is a great launching/productivity tool for the MacOS. It is way slicker than the finder. I am sure Leopard will be including many of the features that QuickSilver offers. Check it out.

4:32 am
It’s 4:32 am and she is asleep. Tonight was a good night. Tsipporah went to bed straight away and slept until her regular feeding at 3ish. After a quick diaper change she took her bottle with no worries. And went to bed with little fuss. What a brilliant and beautiful baby.
