Today on ABC 4 News, we’re running a fantastic year-ender piece that our editor Kirk Colton put together. I gave him a few suggestions on what important stories to put into the story, then turned him loose — and it turned out really well. Kirk is that kind of guy — very creative, very dependable.… Continue reading What I did this year (Utah news 2007)

“Presents on the tree”?
Today in the car with Sarah, Audrey heard the song “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” on the radio. I wasn’t there and didn’t hear exactly what she said, but when she heard the line Please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree, she said in effect, “You don’t put presents on the tree.… Continue reading “Presents on the tree”?
Decking the Halls
We got all of our Christmas lights set up this week. Sarah’s game plan has been to add one strand of lights to our house every year — this year we’re up to four, spanning the entire front of the house and the railing going up to our front door. We also put up our… Continue reading Decking the Halls
My take on Fall TV 2007
We’re still enjoying some of our favorites from the last couple of years (The Office entering season 4 with PB&J hooking up, Earl in jail for season 3, too much happening on Heroes season 2 to recap), but Sarah and I have also been sampling some of the fall TV shows. Here’s what we think:… Continue reading My take on Fall TV 2007
Baby announcement! (Oh boy!)
We’ve got a big announcement for everyone! We’re happy to tell you that we’re expecting a little boy — at our ultrasound today the tech told us that Sarah’s probably due at the end of January 2008. It took them a while to officially determine the gender, but we’re pretty confident in the results —… Continue reading Baby announcement! (Oh boy!)
Freaking over flies
For the last few weeks, Audrey has been afraid of bugs in general, flies in particular. Every time she’d see one, she’d get agitated and shout at it, “Go ‘way, f’y!” (Her l’s are non-existent at this time. She doesn’t have r’s down yet either.) But a couple of days ago we were in the… Continue reading Freaking over flies
A new venture – West Valley Web
I’ve decided to start a freelance web design company to help small businesses in the Salt Lake Valley (specifically the West Valley City area) get online. Since I speak Spanish, I’m especially trying to find latino-run businesses whose owners might be intimidated by the Internet. Of course, I plan to deal with both English- and… Continue reading A new venture – West Valley Web
Birdhouse in Your Vent
Our clothes dryer started taking a really long time to get things dry a couple of weeks ago, so today I finally decided to check out the exterior vent. I was expecting to find a bunch of lint and junk, but I was surprised to find a whole bird’s nest in one four-inch duct. It’s… Continue reading Birdhouse in Your Vent
Enter the Matrix (or The Matrix Revolutions)
Sarah finally convinced me to let her get a new car. We spent a couple of nights browsing used car lots, but she’d already had her heart set on the Toyota Matrix because she likes how it looks and it gets really good ratings from Consumer Reports. (She still likes the Honda Fit, but they’re… Continue reading Enter the Matrix (or The Matrix Revolutions)
Cool web service: MediaMaster (a.k.a. music music everywhere)
I’ve been using a cool service online called MediaMaster — it lets you upload your music collection to their site and listen to it anywhere (using either their online player or streaming it to your own desktop music application). Best of all it’s free! I find the interface for organizing the music online really clunky… Continue reading Cool web service: MediaMaster (a.k.a. music music everywhere)
