The Kids ( Feb 2010 )

Daddy Day Care Diaries

Little Emma always a sport when it comes to taking pictures – if she would just stay still for a second I could get some great results!

MJ the man! Never a problem taking a few photos of him as he’s always game for some attention!

The Megan we all know and love giving the reluctant smile. There was a bit of showing off going on in front of one of her friends, but we’ll let it slide this time.

All I can say is without Apple this tech-world would be so boring…..

Lost – Finally

Lost

My expectations are so high right now that I actually think I’m going to end up disappointed. I just don’t know how the writers are going to end this incredibly awesome series with all of the questions the past 5 years have built up.

I’ve been patient and I’ve put my faith in these people to deliver to me a mind blowing conclusion to this story. What I’m actually hoping for here is the opposite of what I got in The Sopranos.

I can’t wait for the show to begin!

Adios FarmVille

I woke up early this morning and opened my laptop. A quick check of Facebook and I happened to notice several FarmVille posts polluting my feed.

It’s been a couple of months since I rounded up my last crops and decided to leave the farm bare, just tree’s and a few animals hanging around. I’ve moved on to better things like reading books and catching up on TV series and such.

I willingly admit that I was addicted for several months to this game – like many other people I was showing all the signs of the degenerate gamer. Things like getting up early just to harvest something that I didn’t plan properly, or soliciting friends and family to just sign up so I could accumulate neighbors.

I even liked the stupid music it played while I screwed around with an imaginary farm ( I can’t even handle a potted basil plant in real life if the truth be told )

So this morning out of sheer boredom I loaded up FarmVille to see if I would feel that same magic. After clicking on a few trees to harvest them – my hand seemed to move involuntarily to the “command-t” as my mind must of thought of something else in that fraction of a moment. And it was done.

Before writing this I thought about what may have happened in that fraction of a moment, the distraction as it were, and perhaps I really do have ADD as someone recently suggested.

However I’d like to think that in someway I have reformed a bad habit.   Whatever it is, I have ended my FarmVille run on Facebook and I’m really happy about it.

Sailor Twain

Sailor Twain or The Mermaid in the Hudson

I came upon this pretty neat graphic novel being serialized on the internet. I’ve always loved comic books as a kid and I like the idea of having them on the internet as well.

I’m just imagining myself reading this down the road on the Apple iPad!

This story looks like it’s going to be quite interesting and I’m going to make a good effort to follow this one….
