I’ve tweeted about it, told people on the phone, and put up pictures on both Picasa and Flickr, but I thought it might be nice to post something here as well.
We had a baby. If you were reading through my year26 posts, you were aware that Katie was pregnant and that our due date [...]

Day 365: this is it

The last day.  The final piece of this year-long puzzle.  The coup de grace.  My 26th year of life.
In some ways, this was an ordeal.  There were days when I had to actively remember that I had a blog post to write and stumble to my computer, fighting off sleep, only to stare at an [...]

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, one and all! I got you a little present.

Katie and I went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom a few days ago for their Winter Wonderland celebration. Despite most of their summer rides seemingly closed, we got to take some pictures in front of the world’s largest Christmas tree (so they claim!) [...]

Katie and I went camping this past weekend. We headed out Saturday morning and got back Sunday afternoon, driving up through San Francisco and over the Golden Gate Bridge to a KOA Campground (or, sorry, “Kampground”) near Petaluma, CA. We had recently gotten an REI tent as an anniversary present from my parents, [...]
