Emma is really talking up a storm these days. She’s starting to say people’s names very well. Two weeks ago Chris’ college roommate, Andy, spent the weekend with us. I believe Emma fell in love with him, because she is still talking about him to this day. She calls him Ah-dee. She asks about Ah-dee…
Our little pottigy
If I hadn’t seen it for myself, I never would have believe that Emma, our cute little almost-21-month-old, could/would be able to use a potty by herself. But, just to show me what’s what, she did just that this evening! That’s right, folks. Emma peed all by herself on her own little potty this evening!…
I’m 30. Yikes.
Well, on 9/9 I turned 3/0. I really didn’t think much about it, other than my prediction not coming to pass. Prediction? Well, I told Jaime soon after we were married that I had this feeling that I wouldn’t make it to 30. I didn’t know why, but I think it had something to do…
Fishing for good music
We went to a Go Fish concert at our church this evening. Never heard of the Go Fish guys before? They were FANTASTIC. They do Christian music for kids “that won’t drive parents bonkers.” It was awesome. Emma absolutely loved it, but we did too. They were fun, and their music was really good, too….
Missing doggy
I know, I know … it’s been too long since I last blogged. I’m sorry, but I do my work in the evenings, and then I just want to veg out and watch TV or whatever. SUE ME. Anyway, funny story. I gave Emma a bath on Monday evening, and then Chris and I put…
Chipotle is good, but…
Just to stay awake at work on Saturdays our crew often finds interesting stuff to discuss. Today’s topic: “What’s the most calories you can find in a burger at a major restaurant chain?” The winner: Hardee’s Monster Thickburger. Topping over 1400 calories is no small feat. Add fries and a drink, and you’re looking at…
Vacation thoughts
Thought I’d add a guest blog, since I don’t have my own.
Thank You! Come Again!
Wellity, Wellity, Wellity… It appears that one of the neatest marketing gimmicks that has ever befallen mankind has befallen mankind in Burbank, CA (among other places). Turns out, this Kwik-E-Mart is about 2 minutes from my place of work in sunny Burbank, so I stopped by after work today. I’ve been a long-time Simpsons nut,…
Donald Lewis Heacock
Well, I realize that it has been quite some time since I last blogged. The primary reason for this is I honestly haven’t been able to think of what I wanted to say. My grandfather, Donald Lewis Heacock, went home to the Lord on May 20th, 2007. If you follow my blog, you’ll see that…

That’s MY 128-bit key. If someone distributes that around the internet, I have the very same legal right that the AACS-LA group has to prosecute. See http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1155 for the info, but basically, that number was used to encrypt a copyrighted work (A haiku) and I was given explicit rights to decrypt the work my the…

That’s the AACS code that can apparently be used to crack HDDVD discs released up till now. The AACSLA group is trying to strong arm the whole internet into removing those numbers from existence. I align with Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, in this plight. The DMCA is getting a bit to big for its…
What’s in a name?
This is my first real guest blog…and how interesting it will be.
