Today I’m going to go back to do some video editing. I’ve already produced 2 movies (don’t get too excited if you aren’t a family member because they are just family movies). If you are interested, you can see them in my Gallery (see the top of the page then go to the video section [...]

Parenting is hard
How do parents convince kids that loosing their temper doesn’t really work? How do parents convince their kids that aggravating others (their siblings) really isn’t fun or empowering or whatever they think it might be? How do you get through the cloud of “I don’t like you” that can sprout up after you discipline your [...]
PTSA Meeting
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this but I’m the Treasurer this year at the boys school. Originally, I thought it would be no big deal since I was the Treasurer at their pre-school before for 2 years. Man, was I over simplifying things. This school is about 6 times the size and we have [...]
No Ecto Software for a bit
Ecto doesn’t support Tagging. At least they don’t support the tagging in WordPress 2.3 (because they actually do support Technorati tagging but that is something different as you can see in the body of the last post – see the links). All this means is that I have to use the Admin portion of my [...]
Site Updated
The WordPress community says this update is a biggy so I’ll trust them. Fortunately, it went as smooth as all the recent ones. I’m now on WordPress 2.3 which supports some new features which I’m not sure how to use yet. One of the features is tagging. I’ll try posting this with tags and see [...]
Updated GT-Widgets
I’ve just noticed that some of my files have a steady downloads and in fact 1 of them has almost 200 downloads. WOW!!! I’ve made an update or two to a few of the widgets so I figured I should update the file up on the server. All are just cleanups/bug fixes except for gt-picture [...]
Xander had his first overnight…
Wow! What a big milestone. As the cliche goes, they grow up so fast. I know it’s cliche but from a parenting perspective, these milestones just keep coming and coming so it always seems so true. I mean, he’s stayed overnight at his Omi and Opa’s (Kathy’s folks) both with his brother and by himself [...]

iTunes Update Issues
Apple has been being bad recently. They have updated iTunes and while updating an application is not bad their apparent motivation has been bad and has some other bad consequences. Their apparent motivations have been to prevent hackers/developers from putting ringtones on the iPhone and perhaps to limit other hacks on the iPhone. The issues [...]
iPod Touch Issue
I ran into an issue. I had everything working well with the iPod Touch yesterday but then woke up and suddenly I couldn’t get it to connect to any servers. It said it was connected to the Wifi (had a valid IP, saw the router’s IP and all the DNS stuff) but just wouldn’t connect. [...]
iPod Touch
I got an iPod Touch today. Wow! This is just…Wow! The screen is great. It’s bright. It’s crisp. It’s clear. And of course, it’s much bigger than previous iPod’s. It’s got Wifi. This is fabulous. I can use it to browse the internet around the house in a casual way. On my Mac, I’m a [...]
New Feedreader for Kathy
Even though I’m a Mac guy for the most part, I helped Kathy find a feedreader for Windows. She first tried FeedDeemon but didn’t like it because it didn’t allow the feeds to be manually sorted inside folders. Now she is on NewzCrawler which fixes the problem with FeedDeemon. We’ll see how that goes but [...]
Check out the new quotes
I’ve added something fun. I’m a bit of a Buffy fan so when I came across a WordPress Plugin that not only did quotes but allowed you to change the quotes and images that go along with the quotes BUT EVEN MORE had already done the work for Buffy I got very excited. So I [...]
Quick WordPress Upgrade
The folks that work on WordPress (the software I use to run my blog) are amazing. They not only work hard to produce fixes and updates quickly – they just put out a new version (2.2.3) but they also are working to make these DOT releases easier and easier to install. This might have taken [...]
Guitar Scale Sheets
Through my lessons, Mick (my teacher) and I have covered several scales including Modes (Ionian, Dorian, Mixolydian, Lydian, …), Pentatonic (major, minor) and Blues (we’ve only touched this one a bit so far). My process of learning is to tear down and rebuild so I’ve created my own learning materials. In my Downloads section you [...]
