To those that I haven’t spoken to, to those that I have, to those that I will see tomorrow, and all of those I won’t, have a Merry Christmas, a Happy Chanukah, and a Wonderful New Year!  (and any other holiday that you might celebrate or not.  If you don’t then have a great day!)

Something has changed in me, and I don’t know what caused it.  For a while now, I have felt that I am ready to have kids, but emotionally stopped at that.  I never felt that urge or looked wistfully at the baby section in WalMart.  That’s changed.  I find myself looking at children and smiling [...]

I went out for some last-minute Christmas shopping last night, and it was hell.  I finished what I needed to do, but it was nuts.  Traffic was stopped on all roads, and I almost got hit 3 times.  Everywhere I went it was really crowded and everyone seemed to be ready to take someone’s head [...]

I’m a bit late posting about it, but I figured, what the heck. It really was a nice (long) weekend. On Thursday, we went to Rosie’s place to spend the holiday with Bionca’s family. Since Bionca had to be at work at 4am the next day, we had planned on only staying for a short [...]

Yesterday was my birthday party, and while it wasn’t a surprise, it was great fun. I was thrilled to have everyone there. For some, it was the first time that they met, and for others it was the first time in years. I must admit that I was a little nervous about it, but it [...]

Apparently, my wishlist isn’t posted in my profile like I thought.  Here it is:http://is.gd/7QD1

After work last night, Bionca was wiped, so I decided to make dinner.  Usually, I am not bad, but this night I didn’t do so well.  I made steak with mushrooms and onions with mashed potatoes and green beans.  Unfortunately, my timing was off and I kept the steak in the oven too long.  It [...]

I have long been one of those IT professionals who go to great lengths to make sure that their employer’s data is safe, but don’t do even simple back ups for their personal data.  That has now changed.  I found that Dreamhost (my web hosting company) offers 50 GB of space specifically for back-ups included [...]

When Bionca and I went to the concert at the House of Blues, we saw that the Festival of the Masters was going on Friday through Sunday.  Since Bionca had off Sunday, we went back to Downtown Disney to check it out.  We were only there for a few hours, but we had a good [...]

We went for Bionca’s first serious test for fertility this past Friday.  (I’ll have mine later)  There were some complications, and it was impossible to finish the test.  In general, it was not a pleasant experience, and we are reconsidering that this is the road that we want to take.  We’ll know more at the [...]

This past Thursday, Dana invited Bionca and I to go with her and John to see the Presidents of the United States of America, at the House of Blues.  I was really excited because I loved them back in high school, but I had not heard from them in a while, and looked forward to [...]

Lately I have not been updating my blog.  At first it came from me using Twitter more for that purpose.  I mean I was updating my feed on a regular basis and I didn’t feel that I needed to use my blog, since it was redundant.  The thing is that somewhere along the line, I [...]

I heard about this exercise program online called One Hundred Pushups, and after checking it out, decided that I was going to do it. I started out with by doing the test, and surprised myself by doing 20. I seriously thought that I would only be able to do 6 or so. Being a computer [...]

Life is always changing, but there are times when there are major events that change the way that things turn out in the future. That is were we are at once again. With Bionca getting a full-time job and us being back on our feet, I’m finally ready to start working on having children. I [...]

Since we didn’t have anything planned for the weekend, and neither did Chris and Stephanie, we decided to head up to Newberry and spend the weekend with them. Heather also went since Scott was out doing something else. She had originally planned on going up next weekend, but her plans changed, and it really turned [...]

So, maybe we shouldn’t have been listening to punk music while trimming my hair… I kind of like it.

Wow, what a great weekend. It’s a rare thing when I do so much in that time. Thursday night, Bionca and I went outside to watch someone in our apartment complex shoot off some fireworks. One of the guys had some good ones that were almost professional grade. It was a nice little bonus, and [...]

Budweizer and CLAM juice? This is marketing gone horribly wrong!

I’ve mentioned that I have started a new site called ddoreports.com before, but I wanted to give a little bit of an update as to what I have been up to. I have spent a lot of time lately on the site. I finally have the visual style of the site taken care of. I [...]

This past weekend was pretty busy for me. While I was inside the whole weekend while Bionca worked, I did a lot really. I have been working on my DDO Reports site a lot lately. I installed wordpress on the server and set it all up. There was a bit of work to get Twitter [...]

Bionca has an audition tomorrow, but she really didn’t want to practice, but I got her to by promising her at least a few good orgasms if she did for at least an hour. I told her that if she was really good we could talk about the stick.

I generally avoid talking about things that happen at work on here, but this is pretty unspecific, so I think that it is safe. At work, I use a late 2006 model iMac, and recently the optical drive went bad on it. I took it to the Apple store to see if it was still [...]

I found a Greasemonkey script online called dgg that filters digg.com stories. Lately, I have been annoyed with certain classes of stories on Digg, namely the ones that are just of some picture that someone found and thought clever, anything from The Onion (I’ll go there for my fake news, thanks), and the Top Ten [...]

For the past few mornings, I have been waking up before 6:30 am naturally. Right now, we have blinds but no curtains, so the sun comes right into the room. At first, I thought that this was a bad thing, but now I kind of like it. When I wake up, it isn’t that jolting [...]

I edited another one. This time it is for Facebook. This one has fewer tweaks, but it generally improves the over-all experience. I must say that Facebook did a great job with their iPhone interface, but as such it isn’t completely suited to Firefox. Thanks to Stylish, that isn’t a problem. Check it out here. [...]
