Best Under A Buck Value Comments Off

I finally took my first serious browse of the “iTunes Music Store”:http://www.apple.com/music/ last night and actually bought my first song, Barenaked Ladies: Alcohol for a lowly $.99.
For $.99 I could have purchased an utterly nasty McDonald’s under a buck menu item. Take your pick, they’re all gross and I’m vegan so it’s not an option. [...]

iPod Envy No More 1

Sorry “Naaman”:http://footinmouthdisease.blogspot.com/2003_04_27_footinmouthdisease_archive.html#93428307, but the time has come for me to purchase my first “iPod”:http://www.apple.com/ipod/. I just hope you don’t hate me because I’ll enjoy using the new docking station or the on-the-go play lists. It’s ok, you still have the “17 inch Powerbook”:http://www.apple.com/powerbook/index17.html.
Come Friday (hopefully), I’ll be enjoying my mobile music library on [...]

Little One In Training 1

At three months, Aiden is learning about sports and who to cheer for. Thanks to Aiden’s Grandma, he has his own King’s outfit. He actually likes watching the games too. (I think he just likes t.v. in general, but don’t tell Grandma… oops, too late!)

Go Kings!

iPod Envy 1

And so it goes.
Apple released their new line of “iPod”:http://www.apple.com/ipod/ MP3 players today to coincide with their new “iTunes Music Store”:http://www.apple.com/music/store/, which allows for rights free downloading of music for $.99 per song. Not bad.
The new iPod has a slimmer redesigned shell, more capacity to store songs, and new software to allow for the playing [...]

Pooped 3

Boy am I tired. Not sure why, slept about as much as I do during the week. Heck, even Aiden slept all night! He was awoken by daddy pushing into him… oopsie.
Today we hung out around the apartment, then went out and did some shopping. We picked the sale racks at [...]

Memories Of 1996 4

Ted has brought back some memories of years past when together we would ride our mountain bikes until we’d both fall over. The following photo was taken July 29, 1996 (I removed the date stamp with Photoshop) by Ted while I was “trying” to look cool. Ha ha!

I have a ton more [...]

Young At Heart 2

Found this gem of Autumn at age 8 months while going through some old scanned slides. She loved to eat “noodles” and still loves them to this day.

Notice she doesn’t have any hair which she didn’t have until about age 2 years!

Importing Should Be Legal Comments Off

I’m getting quite sick of this “crap that game publishers”:http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?section_name=ret&aid=1575 are dishing out these days:
Speaking to UK trade paper MCV, Nintendo UK general manager Andy Williams commented that “Nintendo is monitoring the situation closely and is prepared to take legal action against importers and retailers should the number become significant. The games currently on sale [...]

What To Say Rainy Day Comments Off

I’m not sure what to say today. More than likely it could be due to some of the “sad things in the news”:http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2003/04/24/national1121EDT0569.DTL, being stuck inside all day working, or maybe it’s just the “rain”:http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/04/24/BA252186.DTL causing me to feel blah. So, with that in mind, I think I’ll just ramble on about “stuff”.

Been adding a lot of photos of the children over the last few days. Added the photos from Easter weekend as well as building up Aiden’s April 2003 album. Hard to believe that tomorrow Aiden will be 3 months old…
