Cutest Damn Kids in the World

One of my favourite things to do with my kids is just watch them play with their toys. It's so cool to see how they are developing their imagination. You can see that they have little stories and scenarios in their head when they are playing wiu their toys. Lucas drives his toy cars around like they're in a race. Sometimes the crash or go flying but his sound effects and facial expressions are adorable. Amelia will take a stuffed animal or doll and play mommy with it. Today she had a doll wrapped up in a towel. Then she took it to the bathroom, sat it on the toilet and then brought it back and pretended to wash it and wrap it in a towel. The whole time she's talking about what she's doing. "wash wash wash. It's cold! Put your blanket on!". Damn my kids are cute.

You Can't Handle the Truth

If I get an email and then the sender tries to recall it, I read the email anyway and then I open the recall so I'm being all responsible and shit.

Try it Again

I was always interested in having my own website. My ISP even provides webspace and a few years ago I even tried it out for a bit. It was a bit tedious to make web pages and upload them and manage it all the time so I deleted all the stuff and gave up. Now don't get me wrong, I'm no quitter - I refuse to completely quit smoking, right? I'm just looking for an easier way to manage a website. Now, in 2009, I think I have my solution: iWeb. So simple, so pretty. I know, no guy should ever use the word "pretty" unless he's trying to make out with someone, but seriously, iWeb makes pretty pages. Nothing fantastic/incredible/awesome/innovative, but that might be because I don't know what I'm doing yet. I just need the space to post some pictures so it'll never be super-fancy. Check it out.
