So, I was reading BBcool today and I came across two stories I wanted to share. First, MLB.com has made it easier to get the latest baseball scores on your blackberry. For sports fans, this may not be as good as being at the game, but for scores at a moments notice (they’re constantly updated) its pretty good.

Secondly, while its not the final nail on the iPhones business coffin, it is a good start. Nasa has said no to the iPhone in its corporate IT policy and yes to BB devices. Hopefully this will start a trend in the business market as more and more organizations realize that while the iPhone is pretty, its not practical for business uses. Go NASA!!

She’s almost four. She’s been away from home before and Amy and I had left her at home for a week or so before with Grammy and Talka Breezy. This is a little different though. This time, Grace and Emma went to Chicago with Grammy. She’s done this trip before, but she was younger then, I’m not sure she completely understood what was going on then.

Well, she’s almost four now, she understands things a little better. They’ve been in Chicago since last Thursday when Amy and I headed out to Colorado, and I think she’s starting to miss things at home. Last night on the phone she was really upset that we hadn’t picked her up on our way back to Kennesaw. She wanted to talk to the puppies as well (which in and of itself is another post… ).

I’ve dealt with homesickness before, when I was a boy scout, we had a friend who came down with a really bad case of it at summer camp our first summer. One of the only ways we ever found to keep the homesick person from calling home and keep them busy. Before they know it, camp is over. Its a little different this time around, Grace is six years younger, but I think the fact that they’re keeping her busy in Chicago, and the fact that Amy will be up there tomorrow night will help things a lot.

Its hard when your oldest goes away for a week, but its part of growing up and if I’ve learned one thing, its experiences like these that make us who we are as adults.

Amy and I were married 6 years ago this past May. Before the wedding, I spent a good bit of my free time decorating little tiny bottles of bubbles and some small flower pots to give out as favors at the reception. I wish a site like Little Things Wedding Favors existed back then to save me some agonizing pain. The likes of which cannot be described (unless you’ve ever had Vogon poetry read to you).

Little Things is not new to wedding favors, they’ve been around for 4 years, however, they’ve recently relaunched their site and now have over 2600 amazing wedding favor ideas for the frantic bride (or groom?). The cool thing is that they not only have wedding favors, but shower favors as well (bridal shower and baby shower). Its a one stop shop. They even offer free shipping in the lower 48 states. Does it get any better?

It doesn’t seem to matter what you’re looking for when it comes to wedding favors, they have it all. Seasonal favors, themed favors, regular wedding favors, Little Things Favors is definitely going to become a brides (maybe even a grooms) best friend.

A refund can be delayed for a variety of reasons. For example submitting invalid records or applying after the deadline.

Apparently, this is the latest in the Nigerian vein of internet scams. I wonder if anyone has fallen for it yet? Luckily, it ended up in my spam folder. I also thought about it, the IRS does not usually communicate via email, almost everything (the good and the bad) comes via the postal mail with them.
