I’m an optimistic person. Especially when it comes to my views on the future.
I’m guessing you’ve heard about the e-book reading device released recently by Amazon called the “Kindle”. Now check out this controversial meta-review of the Kindle. Do you think this is troubling?
One commenter to that post reminded us that this is only DRM in one piece of consumer electronics and not state sponsored censorship. Some might say that corporations are the new state, but again I hold a more optimistic view.
By 2:00pm Nate is really fighting his afternoon nap. It just so happens that two and a half miles from my house there exists a drive through Dairy Queen.
A routine has emerged.
He always falls asleep before we turn around and as long as I’m successful in transferring him from the car to his crib then I can have my ice cream and eat it too. So this does not do my waistline good, but the pull of a tearless nap and an oreo blizzard is just too great.

Even though I’ve had a lack of blog posts this year I haven’t disappeared from the online world completely. I’ve been uploading photos to flickr, creating myspace and facebook accounts and commenting on a few items of interest.
For the past 10+ months I’ve been a full-time stay-at-home-dad. It’s been awesome, although a little tiresome, and just occasionally frustrating. Nate is a well tempered kid. I know that I’m very lucky in that regard.
I still work at the Summit Hut although my schedule is kind of funky. I go to the store after Jenny gets home from school and then return home around 8:30pm to help give Nate a bath and get him into bed, then I write code from our home office late into the night. Sometimes a little too late. I guess I’ve been in a constant state of sleep deprivation or so I’ve been told.
Nate is now one year old and I can hardly believe how fast the time went. I’ve heard that these first couple years of parenthood can go by so fast you hardly have time to think and that you’ll look back someday and wish you could have slowed them down. Does anyone have a trick for actually doing that?
Jenny and I are still enjoying Tucson and the southwest in general. We don’t get out nearly as much as we’d like to but when we do we have a great time. Nate seems to like being outside too. I’ll hopefully share more of our adventures this winter when we start being a little more active.
So that’s the long and short of it. Once again I’ll make an attempt to blog a little more often. I would love to get back into it and see if I can’t improve my writing skill, or at the very least, my writing speed. This post took way too long to write and it’s not any kind of masterpiece. Oh well.

I recently decided to start over. Yes, I’ve had a blog for over six years now and I was just tired of looking at all the junk I’ve accumulated so I made a backup and then wiped it all away. I broke links. Lots of them. Shame on me and all that, but quite frankly, I don’t care right now. It just feels good to have a new beginning.
So what’s up with this latest 2.3 release of Wordpress?
