After getting caught up in the recent BPA-scare, we decided to ditch our Nalgene water bottles and replace them with some hip new SIGG bottles. We figured with Lisa being pregnant, we probably shouldn’t take any chances. Even though some recent reports have claimed that the BPA in plastic bottles is likely safe, [...]

Dear Insinkerator Garbage Disposal People,
Yesterday I purchased one of your Badger 5 garbage disposals and went on to spend three frustrating exhilerating hours last night installing it. I applaud the practical joke of your installation instructions. Nowhere on the box nor in the instructions did I read any warnings that installation should not [...]
I have a decision to make. When I started Blogimore.com, it was meant to be catharsis for my homesickness and not exactly being thrilled with my new living environment. I thought it would be a way to make the best out of living in Baltimore. It has been here when I needed [...]

Things weren’t chaotic enough before we left Baltimore, so I decided to put Lisa’s car up for sale. We loved our little Jetta, but it just wasn’t enough to accommodate an infant seat in the back. When we kept our nephew several years ago, we had to pull the driver seat up so [...]
In case you thought I was kidding about the bullet hole, here’s proof:
My brother speculated that it was the result of a nasty indoor hunting accident. So if you’re ever in Christiansburg, VA, be sure to check out the EconoLodge. It’s really just lovely.

Yesterday was our last day in Baltimore and it couldn’t have come sooner. Thankfully, Mom and Dave came to help us pack and drive the truck down. There’s no way we could’ve gotten the house packed without their help. Mom has an amazing ability to focus on the task at hand and [...]
With my wife at an out-of-town conference, I decided to nerd-out this weekend. I left at 11:00 this morning and took the three-hour drive to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s estate outside of Charlottesville, Virginia. It was a beautiful day, and I arrived just in time to get a ticket for the 3:00 tour. [...]

As you may have figured out from the post below, our days in Baltimore are numbered. Because of the news of our impending addition, we’ve decided to move back to Texas. The cost of living is lower and both sets of parents are there. We’ll certainly miss the east coast, but Texas [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Partially because my old PowerBook was elderly and in failing health. Yesterday we took it to the Apple store and it was finally declared to be brain dead - or at least have a bad hard drive. So, I walked out of the store with [...]
I’m in Salt Lake City this week. While I was at the airport last night, I was a bit weirded out by the huge number of blonde pregnant women I encountered. Today, I’ll spend some time with Axis41, Ciena’s design agency. Tuesday through Thursday, I’ll be attending the 2008 Omniture Summit. [...]
