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 [...]

Bear Bait

Katie and I will head out tomorrow to Castle Crags, a state park in Northern California in order to go camping. This will give us an opportunity for us to use our awesome tent away from a cow pasture. We also got a new nifty camping stove that we’ll be trying out for [...]

Merry Christmas!

Have people [...]

1 year later?

My, my, how quickly a year can pass. It really doesn’t feel like we’ve been married (more than) a year now, and yet here we are.

For our 1 year anniversary, we trekked back to Pittsburgh for a few days to do everything we missed about Pittsburgh. A lot of it had to do [...]

VM and Hoggy

This weekend, Katie and I watched 7 episodes of Veronica Mars. It was pretty awesome.
We also went a Giants/Phillies game at AT&T park, which was also pretty awesome but very hot (as the seats were directly in the sun the whole game). Noah Lowry pitched a very good game and sealed my fantasy [...]

I saw the midnight showing of Spider-Man 3 last night, which was entertaining and a bit tiring. I’ve been feeling tired most of today, but I think it was worth it. Now, to get on my soapbox for a little bit.
I’ve been following this story about this student in Texas who was weeks [...]
