Continuing topic started by Eric . He is still Awesome.

I have went on endlessly about the Awesomeness that is My Wife. I even call her here The Awesome Wife. And she is awesome! Yesterday she finally caught-up to me in the age difference. At least as far as the "time" is considered by humans. The fact of the matter is that maturity-wise I am much closer to my Soon-To-Be-5-Year-Old. It has been now more than 10 years since we first met, and I still look at her the same way I did way back then. It might be a weird thing, but she is my best friend, and I am not ashamed of that. I love you sweatheart, may you only know happiness. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I don't have anything profound to write about. With the newborn baby the life is going very fast, and I just don't have time to sit and ponder. My life has turned into minutae experiences, none worth a fully blown blog post. That is why I have added a Twitter to my side bar. Some thoughts are better than no thoughts. Besides, I was always better a quick quirps than anything deep and prolong. Patience is not one of my virtues. Is that the beginning of heavy-metal signal?

Playing scrabble with mom, and calling it google.

One thing to remember about new born, is not to expect anything. You can try to adhere to a specific routine, but the babies don't get routines yet. All you can do i adjust your schedule :) I got nothing else.

I love this song. It is essential rock-n-roll IMHO. It's got a nice riff, bluesy tune, inventive guitar play, it's about a girl, and the video is as cheesy as hell. Recorded by Ram Jam, and I think the lyrics were originally penned down by leadbelly himself. Enjoy. Between work and The Baby I really don't have time to post anything meaningful.

The new GPS arrived yesterday and I had a small chance to play with it. Here is how it looks. The unit is pretty nice looking. The brushed plastic feel on the front-frame is nice for grease-free operation, but a bit extra. It comes with a very nice and sturdy wind-shield bracket, which mounts pretty easily. The GPS (that's the name, really... GPS) came with chargers, a 2GB SD card, that holds the software and data, ear-bud phones, and a carrying pouch. I haven't played with a lot of the options yet, but it comes with video player, mp3 player, image viewer, text reader, and some games. What kind of games can be played is unknown to me yet, but the system is Windows based. Back to the GPS. There are several quirks that I haven't worked out yet. The touchscreen works better with a stylus (included) than fingers. The software runs off the SD Card, so it is a bit slow. There were slow downs during route annoucements, and the voice hiccuped. The routes were calculated rather well...

I've done something recently I would never have done before. You might remember the episode where my GPS was stolen from car in the middle of day on a busy street in Chi-town. I won't provide linkback, the baby is sleeping and I don't want to waste time. I've looked around for GPS' in stores, but for some reason I am not willing to spend more than a $100 right now. The bottom of the line GPS models for $99 in Walmart i don't really want. I want my gadgets to burst with fun options. Here comes the Ebay. I actually haven't purchased anything on Ebay in ages. I mean at least 5-6 years, and I don't have an explanation for it. Anyway, I have searched for the same model I had, the auctions always end up way above $100. Then, something caught my eye. A bunch of auctions, always ending up below $100 mark, selling a no-name brand. Here are the listed features. CPU: SiRF Atlas 400MHz CPU GPS module: SiRF ATLAS III Inside (SiRF is the most used and famous GPS techn...

I don't have time to write, so I bulleted everything - The baby is doing rather well. - We are not too bad either. - The 4th of July was spent in the company of Canadians and Brits :) - First pun from The Almost 5 Year Old: I have a forehead, when I turn five I'll have a five-head. - The Almost 5 Year Old: Daddies become granpas?! (I think that actually shocked her) Nothing else really, I'll update if I remember something.
