Computer Upgrade

Megan and I have been bouncing the idea around of getting a new computer (a Macbook to be precise). Since we don't really "need" it, I decided to upgrade the memory in our current laptop. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!!

Before, it would take around 4 or 5 minutes to load Itunes. Yes, it would really take that long. If we tried to open more than one program, you can count on at least 5 minutes to load. Programs would freeze quite often as well. Now, I can open Itunes and the internet at the same time and both come up in under 30 seconds. Since our laptop only cost us $300, I think a $50 upgrade was worth it.

He's here!!!!!!!!

If you haven't heard, we have an 8 lb 6 oz bundle of joy, Noah Timothy. We're at home now and everything is starting to normalize (at least our new normal). Here are some pics.

Help for Songs

I'm looking to get back into songwriting so I'm looking for some songs ideas. Seriously, I'm looking for ANY ideas. Even crazy ones from you, Linda.

I might even post up some songs if I get anything good written.

Give me your ideas!!!!!

Things heard 'round our house

Having a toddler around the house really changes the landscape of conversation. Here are some things said today.

"We don't bite the dog's head."
"Please don't lick the phones."
"Paintings are meant to looked at only."
"He sure smells like pee."

Follow up

Ok. So I ranted a little yesterday regarding technological communication, etc. Then today as I was watching Ryan I felt like I had to blog about him. So yesterday might have been a little overboard.

Be on the watch for some blogs from me.

By the way, I'm posting this on my Ipod. How cool!!!

Sociological Rant

This has been some time coming.

Myspace...Facebook...blogs...Twitter...

Today's world of "multi-media" (more like single-form media) has changed the way people communicate, changed the way people think of themselves, and changed the landscape and makeup of "friendship". Everything has become impersonal, self promotion.

Myspace...spam has changed from random emails about mortgage refinance to friends that want you to add them. Your friends are your actual friends, and many others you'll never talk with outside of Myspace.

Facebook...I still don't know what this is but guessing it is a more legitimate version of Myspace.

Blogs...can be useful to family members out of town to catch up on family matters, but many times are used to rant uselessly about unnecessary things (like this post).

Twitter is the worst. Random thoughts quickly sent out to cyperspace for all the world to see. You can write about what you're thinking while sitting on the pot. Is nothing sacred or internal anymore? Everything has to be immediate, and generally, 90% of what's put up on Myspace, or Twitter, or blogs has to do with whoever is writing it. This blog is about my thoughts. If I had a Twitter, I'd twitter about blogging about Twitter. Then I'd send my Myspace friend a message to check out my blog about twittering about blogging about twitter.

Rant over.
