With a baby on the way, I’ve decided to take down my wish list page. I don’t need anything for Christmas this year; it’s all about our baby now. If you’re wanting to get something, please save it for the baby!

Sorry for the lack of updates. There seems to be a lot going on, and with the holidays quickly approaching, there’s not a lot of time to do much blogging. My laptop has also been giving me grief for the past week. Windows Media Player has suddenly stopped recognizing the WMV file format, so I’m unable to view videos. There are other media players that I can use offline, but when I want to watch movies on Netflix’s site, it no longer works. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled WMP, but I still get the same result. My friend suggested installing Windows on top of everything, but that didn’t work either. So I’m currently trying to back up all my data so I can do a complete rebuild. This normally wouldn’t be such a task for me, but without an external HD, it’s a challenge (and time-consuming).
Christine and I have started to spread the news of her pregnancy to our friends and co-workers. Those we have told are very excited and happy for us. We had stopped in Babies R Us the other night, and I have to say, it was pretty humbling. I learned …
- about swaddling,
- that Serta makes mattresses for babies,
- and that I can’t hear the baby’s heartbeat unless I have one of these.
I certainly cannot wait for our little peanut to come into our lives!
'tis the season
To my family – we need wish lists! Thanksgiving is next week, and Christmas is just around the corner. Mine is posted here.
UPDATE – 12/1/07 – I’ve disabled the link to the wish list page. I’m not concerned about receiving gifts this Christmas. If you’d like, save for May/June of 2008 when the baby arrives!

Girl Gets Detention for Hugging her Friends
I remember seeing this headline on Digg and thinking how stupid this is. Then I heard it on the radio this morning on my way to work and realized it was a local school that made national headlines.
District Superintendent Sam McGowen said that he thinks the penalty is fair and that administrators in the school east of St. Louis were following policy in the student handbook. It states: “Displays of affection should not occur on the school campus at any time. It is in poor taste, reflects poor judgment, and brings discredit to the school and to the persons involved.â€
Happy Birthday Mom!
Just want to send my best to Mom on her birthday. Here she is with Dad at Epcot last May.
Happy Birthday Mom!! 
Flickr plugin not working
Since upgrading to WP 2.3, I’ve had difficulties getting my albums to display on the “pics” page. If you came from Joe Tan’s site by clicking on the “Tenyjr.com” link, you already know my page doesn’t work properly. That is why the “pics” tab is no longer available. When I find the time, I will work on resolving this issue. In the meantime, there are plenty of working samples on Joe’s site and on the Flickr group.
Transformers
Transformers – (3.5 out of 5) – Having owned the toys as a kid, this was kind of a nostalgic trip for me. Lots of action and the special effects are the true stars of this film, and Shia LaBeouf is great and keeps the movie going. A good popcorn movie, although it fizzled towards the end (costing it a star on my rating scale).
