Fixed issues with WPG2 and Lightbox!

After a couple of months of messing with the settings in WPG2 to get my photos/images displaying in a sweet lightbox like container, I have finally managed to do it (go ahead, click on the peanut, you know you want to!). Turns out there’s an issue somewhere with the wpg2 lightbox script and something else [...]

Swine Flu or 2009 H1N1?

So there’s been a lot of nothing in the news lately (and twitter noise) about Swine Flu (or 2009 H1N1 as those in the know are calling it). I wanted to do a little more research in to this mysterious aliment that seems to have the world in a tizzy so I hit everyone’s favorite [...]

Tips for guys like me

One of the two days out of the year that I dread is coming up in a little under two weeks. Add to the fact that Mother’s Day always falls on our Anniversary weekend and I’m equally screwed. Do I go with Jewelery, do I get Amy a spa day or will flowers and a [...]

ASMW – Sweet Child of Mine

Our third daughter is supposed to be joining us any day now (if I had my preference it would have been earlier this week). I came across this little number by Taken By Trees while searching for another artist (that Amie Street ended up not having). The song choice today is “Sweet Child of Mine” [...]

San Fran Walk about…

I’m in San Francisco for a couple of days on a business trip (my one business trip a year), its a user group conference for our MIS System. We landed yesterday afternoon at about 5:30pm local time (8:30pm at home) and we made our way to our hotel (the Hilton Financial District) and we checked [...]

ASMW – Spring Time Flowers

Spring is well under way here in the south, indeed most everywhere and as such I wanted to share a little ditty called Flower with you. I know nothing about it, other than its name, and the price is right (FREE). Check it out. Oh, Amy’s favorite Flower is the hydrangea, whats yours?     [...]

Preparing the next generation

As Amy and I prepare for the coming adventure of sending our oldest child off in to the world of “big kid school” and the arrival of the latest addition to the family (any day now she keeps telling me) we’ve been talking with more and more Catholic parents and we find ourselves wondering over [...]

ASMW – Ice Monster

I came across today’s ASMW group by accident as I was strolling through the recommended list on Amie Street and came across the group Minus the Bear. The song in question, Ice Monster, is a fun little ditty on their album Acoustics and it features a good mix of rhythm and lyrics and is a [...]

ASMW – LadyLuck

I realize I’m a day early (no worries, I’ll do another ASMW post tomorrow) but I wanted to share the amazing voice of this songstress with you today (tuesday). Maria Taylor has the kind of voice that any princess would love to have. From the fun tune of Cartoons and Forever Plans to the nifty [...]

Has Entrecard Jumped the Shark?

It’s called Jumping the Shark and it usually refers to TV shows who have passed their prime (did you know it takes its name from an episode of Happy Days??). It’s also been applied to web startups, new companies, and ideas that are worn out or before their time. In this case, I’m wondering if [...]

Seems like yesterday…

Sunday will be three years since our little family of three became a family of four. The first one has been rather easy all along. Other than thinking that she’s older than she actually is, Grace was a cake walk compared to the tiny tornado we call Emma Rose. Emma joined us on April 5th, [...]

A Whole New World…

I some how managed to discover a whole new world Tuesday while traversing the internet. I was perusing my usual array of Entrecard blogs when I came across a hereto undiscovered game world, Travian. Unlike the Pandemic II game, this game is a little (ok, a lot) slower. Games can last over a year as [...]

Tweepularity. Its the in thing

Tools for Twitter abound (almost as prolifically as for the iPhone). Need proof? Look on Twitter itself. There is one tool though (outside of Wefollow) that I’ve come to use a good bit. Tweepular. Tweepular is the brain child of @jasontryfon and is a way to determine your popularity on twitter based on a number [...]

ASMW – Call me the Crusher!

In honor of the worm of the day, Conficker, I’ve decided that I CRUSH EVERYTHING. Or least, I CRUSH BUGS! This ditty is from Geek turned songster, Jonathan Coulton is pretty upbeat and a good way to wile away the dreary April Fools 2009. Maybe next time I’ll be smarter then to answer the phone [...]
