So, I woke up this morning, took Emily and Haley to camp, came into work and Steve (One of my business partners) and I decided that it would make sense and be a bit humorous if we put Rory’s (My other business parter) desk on it’s side and then replaced all of his desk items in various places. We thought that maybe if we also didn’t remove anything from the draws it may even make it more histerical. So…. well… we did.

I was laughing so hard that my stomach hurt. Actually, I’m snickering uncontrolobly right now. And i just realized that I spelled uncontrolobly wrong but have no idea how to spell it. I guess it’s time to investigate a spell checker for WordPress. I’ll do that now. But before I do, i guess you should know that Rory’s reaction to his desk was… hmmm… I need an adjective here… excellent. Off to find a spell checker!

Google has introduced it’s Google Maps product for the moon! If you zoom in far enough, you can see our space station that is located there!

I took the day off today to spend some time with Jodi and the boys. Emily and Haley went to SECA camp, as they do every year over the summer for a week. I think it’s good for them because they need to know how to kill with their bare hands and that’s what they teach them at camp. Just kidding…

Anyway, Jodi and I used Google Maps to find a neat place to go. We decided to follow a Southern trip and after about 1.5 hours of driving we came to Chesapeak City.

It was a neat town. They had a lot of shops and restaurants. It was entirely too hot though, so we didn’t walk arond outside a whole lot. While we were eating, Marcus and Matthew sat in their first high chair… so exciting!

For those of you who don’t know, Emily, Haley, Jodi and I moved into our new home on February 17th of this year. A week later, on the 24th, Marcus and Matthew were born (3 months early). From then until the end of April our days were spent at the hospital with them. Here’s the issue…

During that time we were attempting to get boxes unpacked, purchase furniture, and just get our lives together as a whole. And also during that time, many things that once had a place in our home, seemed to vanish in the disorganization.

For example, my camera cord. If you use a digital camera, you know which one I mean. It’s the one that connects the computer to the camera so that you can download the pictures from the camera and get them uploaded to the computer.

In the past few days I’ve been taking picture after picture because i knew that I now had time to maintain my BLOG again. Tonight was going to be the big night. The night that I sat down and got the pictures online for your viewing pleasure.

Well, it’s not going to happen. My office is now a disaster area from my intense digging and I need to put it back together. So, i’m off to do something that doesn’t involve digital camera pictures… I know that you are devestated that you don’t get to see my picture… just don’t report me to the police for it and we’ll be ok.

My wife, Jodi in the past tended to pick on me because I had a cell phone to answer calls, a laptop to get my email and a palm pilot (I used the Zire 71) to organize appointments, phone numbers, etc.

Now, after my recent purchase of the Palm Treo 650, I no longer am dependent on all of my "tech gagets". You see, my new treo does it all. It’s a cell phone, palm pilot and laptop all in one. I receive emails while I’m driving in the car, I can go to mapquest.com to get directions in the car, etc. because it has wireless internet. It also is an mp3 player, sound recorder, camcorder, digital camera, etc.

The downfalls that I have found? There’s a few… I use a leather belt case and if I pull the treo from the case too quickly and it pushes a button or two the call will answer before I get a chance to see who’s calling me.

With the palm I use a bluetooth headset, but if you had to actually put this phone up to your ear you’d get an 80’s flashback. It’s not exactly the smallest thing.

Anyway, if you’re looking to have less gadgets and more organization… I would highly recommend the Treo

I just installed some new tools to blog with…

First, Matt K. showed me WordPress, which is an open source tool for blogging that makes things really easy. My daughter Emily wanted to blog and I couldn’t let her because I would have to go into dreamweaver and edit code and everything else whenever she wanted to blog (She’s only 8). Now she’ll be able to just log in and go to town! Then, I found a plugin for it that allows you to edit your blogs with images and things (WYSIWYG) just like you do in Microsoft Word… Bloggin has gotten easier… more updates and a better blog to come.

Hey, thanks for being loyal and stopping by. I have installed blogging software called WordPress. It is fantastic. There will be more updates to the blog now hopefully. Check back in a few days and you’ll see all of the articles that were here previously… Thanks for the patience.
