Well, I had a good run, like a full week of a blog every day, then sputtered out. I hate blog posts about blogging as much as the next guy, but I feel like I need to write. Between tons of stuff going on at work (Trek World is coming up next week!) – which [...]

Since working at Trek, I have been hounded to get a new bike, even more so than by my friends in Portland when I lived there, and EVERYONE has like 5 bikes there.
So, I finally decided to pick up a new bike, a Trek 7.2 FX, Newport Blue, 22.5 inch. It’s a Hybrid – not [...]

Since I make a living and love working on Windows, SQL, Windows Server, Office, Exchange, etc, it is kind of weird I am a Mac guy. Never thought it would happen. iPhone, Mac, Macbook Pro, Apple TV, Time Capsule, accessories…
Anyways, since Ella was born, I have TONS of pics and videos of her, on [...]

Now that Ella is home with us from the hospital, of course reality sets in, which means for her: eat, sleep, poop in no particular order.
The thing is, tracking feedings and diapers and what is going on gets tough, and with so much going on and the tiredness of the parents, how do you [...]

Had some issues with a present, and finally figured it out with some help from a Product Engineer at Panasonic. The help was so great I wrote a tip into the Consumerist, and they blogged it!
The issue turned out to be the base was already sync’d with two handsets and that is why I could [...]

Other than we just came out of the 2009 Ice Age? A few things.
This week we saw the temps drop to -22 F, and crazy low with wind chills. Talking with family and friends back in MN, they were seeing -37 F or more – crazy cold. To friends in PDX or CA or wherever, [...]
