Since I’m trying to become a better programmer, I’m updating my web site for a better user experience. I originally built the pictures and recipes pages with SQL-based sorts, so that the user would click on a link that would reload the page with results sorted by the relevant column. Since going to work… Continue reading Prototype tablekit beats jQuery tablesorter by a mile

Words and Music by Nathan
Nathan has gotten the hang of several words recently. He’s had “uh-oh” down pat for quite some time, but now he’s branching out: “Wa-wa” (water), “Na-na” (banana, his most-requested food), “Apo” (apple), “Da-da”, “Hi”, “Up”, “Anen” (at the end of prayers, with arms crossed nonetheless), and my favorite — “E-I-E-I-O”. He also really likes… Continue reading Words and Music by Nathan
Settling in
So we’ve been sleeping in our new house for a little more than a week now, and we are getting settled in. The biggest annoyance left is the fact that we don’t have a fridge in the house. (Sarah is planning to re-finish the hardwood floors in the front entry, hall and kitchen/dining room,… Continue reading Settling in
I Got the Box!
Moving always means scrounging boxes from wherever you can in order to get all of your stuff from House A to House B. In our case, we’ve been collecting boxes since before I left Channel 4 — paper boxes, Nexpress cylinder boxes, diaper boxes, etc. We hauled a lot of stuff down to… Continue reading I Got the Box!
Bust-A-Move Bash is way more bust than bash
So last night was a ward/stake Valentine’s dinner and dance. After a minor babysitter-related trauma (“I don’t like Emily!” repeated about 500 times), we had fun at an adult dinner party at our neighbors’ house, then went over to the Stake Center for the dance. They were playing some really lame songs, and… Continue reading Bust-A-Move Bash is way more bust than bash
Film festival, film festival!
So last night, Sarah and I went to the LDS Film Festival in Orem — the first such festival I’d ever been to. (Yes, I’ve lived in Utah for 90% of my life and never been to a screening at Sundance.) There were some signs of the pretentious artists who frequent these kinds… Continue reading Film festival, film festival!
My work (for most of the last year) – Utah news 2008
Like last year, I’m posting ABC 4’s year in review video. Unlike last year, I wasn’t involved in the behind-the-scenes planning of the recap, since I no longer work there. But when I watched the events of Utah news from 2008, it brought back a lot of memories for me — with the notable exception… Continue reading My work (for most of the last year) – Utah news 2008
Christmas Letter 2008
Here’s an impersonal Christmas letter from the Gibby family: http://www.curtisgibby.com/christmas2008 I tried my best to make it interesting and somewhat interactive — have fun reading it!
Why Can’t Wii Be Friends?
We bought ourselves a Nintendo Wii for Christmas, but because Sarah’s brother and sister have been in town for Thanksgiving, we opened it early so the whole family could enjoy it. And enjoy it we did. The first game that comes with the system is Wii Sports, which we used a lot the first… Continue reading Why Can’t Wii Be Friends?
Standing for Something
At ten months, Nathan has been learning to stand on his own. At first, he didn’t trust himself on his feet. As soon as he realized he was up alone, he’d immediately sit down — but it was a controlled sit. So we would distract/bribe him with a treat or toy and he’d… Continue reading Standing for Something
