Quality Over Quantity

I read a couple of gadget blogs and there's a theme I've noticed over the years. The really vocal computer geeks are cheap bastards. Okay, to be fair they aren't bastards but I don't think they get the whole idea of "boutique" devices. Sure they cost more for basically the same thing but they have a high end brand name or they promote an image. Like a luxury car they do mor than their basic functions. Not interested in showing off a little bling? Don't buy the Lexus or rolex or MacBook air. Wanna save some money and get the most bang for your buck? Cobble together some homemade PC with power parts and troubleshoot everything by yourself. I stopped building computers when my kids were born because I don't have time for it anymore. If you like to fiddle with your computer, by all means go do it. Just don't tell me it's a waste to spend a little more money for a device that doesn't give me grief on a weekly basis.

Happy Birthday

There are times I can't believe it and there are times I'm overwhelmed with happiness. I really can't describe how great it is to see my children every day and hear them say in their excited little voices "daddy!" it was 4 years ago today that they were born. Born almost 3 months too early and only 5lbs between the two of them. They used to look at me from their isolettes with a look on their faces that said, "why?" I sang to them through the plastic box and when I held them I cried. Now they run and jump and play without a care in the world. What would I do without them? Happy birthday to my little babies.

New

So it's been 3 months since my last post.  That's the longest I've ever gone between posts.  I feel bad that I've been neglecting my blog for so long.  I've been writing here for years and now I'm just ignoring it like a one-night-stand.  Anyway, I'll post at least once/week for now on.


What have I been up to the last 3 months?  Celia and I are working on a new project.  Something to help us get out of the financial hole we've been stuck in.  It's great actually, something I've always thought about but couldn't do alone.  Celia is awesome with it too.  The best part is that it can be anything you want - just a little thing or huger than huge.
