A Half Pint of What?
Filed under Family
In preparing for Christmas I decided to put my Mac to good use, and “produced” a video for our families. It was good fun to get to dabbel in video production stuff. Without further ado, I give you “The Evolution of Movement.”

Scrubs and Sufjan
Filed under Made Me Laugh, Music
Are you a fan of the TV show Scrubs? I am, and I had a great time today watching this video on YouTube. The video for Charlie Brown Christmas was mashed with an original Scrubs script to create this classic irreverent video.
I became acquainted with the music of Sufjan Stevens a short while ago through the wonderful music genome project at Pandora. Well, before Aj and I headed out for the weekend she burned off a Christmas Mix CD that featured two Christmas songs by Sufjan. The whole album was good, but those two songs have been stuck in my head, so I did some searching today and found that he actually has a Christmas “box set.” The best part of it is that you can stream all 5 albums online! Click here to get to it. The song stuck in my head the most is “Once in Royal David’s City” on volume 2 (Hark!).

Take a Bite of the Apple
The band known for their apple logo appears to be in talks with the company known for their apple logo. This could be a huge coup for Apple Computers, and the iPod/iTunes market, given the recent release of the Zune. I would be one of the crazies looking to pony up the cash for a special Beatles iPod.

To Zune or Not To Zune
Filed under Mac
As some are aware, Microsquish released their “iPod killer” today, named Zune. This is what CNN has to say. The best is when the female anchor rhetorically asks why she would want to buy the large, clunky Zune when she just bought the small, sexy iPod Shuffle. Good times.

Big Boy Bed
Filed under Family
Judah has been sleeping like crap recently. Shortly after he started climbing out of his crib I took the slider rail off so it was a 3-walled crib. In the last few weeks he’s not been sleeping through the night, so we figure that part of it was because of the ever growing boy sleeping in an open crib.
Aj mentioned to some friends that we were going to start looking for a big boy bed for Judah. One friend said they had a twin bed we could have, and another friend offered the services of her husband to deliver the bed in his truck. Today that delivery came!

Just got an email from my cousin Mark, that his wife Ana gave birth to their son, Jonathan Andrew. I got the email at 8:48am, and the blog about the birth says Jonathan was born at 6:65am :-) I completely understand that feeling that Mark is going through right now. Super excited, so you want to get that info out ASAP. Super exhausted, so you start making up times :-) I know what some of you are going to say, and yes, as a father you still get exhaused through the process even though you didn’t do a tenth of the physical stuff the woman goes through. Congratulations Mark and Ana, I’m excited for you guys!
