May Ultrasound Pics of Baby Harrelson

Anna is about 20 weeks into pregnancy (which is just at half way) and we had an ultrasound session earlier this month. Here are the latest pics... You knew that Baby Harrelson has big feet. Here is confirmation: And here, Baby Harrelson is sucking on his/her thumb (yay, it's not a mutant and has 10 fingers and toes!): Here's a nice profile of Baby Harrelson (I think it has my nose ...

Week O’ Injuries

On Tuesday, I decided to try a nifty trick and use our exercise ball (basically a large blow up ball about 3 feet in diameter) for my desk chair. The benefits are that you are constantly forced to sit upright and it's good exercise for your abs, etc. So, it was a little flat and I decided to blow it up. In the process, the plastic stopper (below) blew ...

Where I’m Getting My News

After becoming increasingly dissatisfied with offline newspaper and cable news, I find that I'm getting most of my news information from either RSS feeds from various sources or from the BBC and NYTimes Twitter feeds. For instance, tonight I got this at 12:22am from the BBC's Twitter stream... bbcnews: Israeli aircraft fire missiles at a car in Gaza City, killing three people, at least two said to be Hamas fight.. ...

Farm Fresh Onions

Anna (closing in on 20 weeks pregnant) and I won a bag o' onions at the Western North Carolina Farmer's Market today. It was "Vidalia Onion Day" so we got to enjoy free onion rings.

IM with Mom

It's interesting that since I've hooked my mom up to GMail, we're in a lot more communication these days via the GTalk instant messaging client within GMail.  I keep GTalk running under my Jabber account within Pidgin, so it's kinda like an always on mom.  Thanks, interwebs.

GMail and Such

At times, I've been the loudest and most vocal advocate for web based apps and the mobile lifestyle it enables.  However, as of late I've switched back to using Liferea (Linux feed reader) as my feed reader and Thunderbird as my email client.  I've slowly been trying to get people to ...

Mean People

Suck.

Virginia Tech Tragedy

Working and studying in a college environment everyday, I can't tell you how profoundly shocked and sad I am at today's shootings at Virginia Tech. Colleges and universities, of all places, should be places where young and old people alike can study, learn, walk, live and inquire without feeling the least bit threatened. My thoughts and prayers are with the students, staff, faculty, families and loved ones who suffered so ...

Crazy Weather

I can't believe it's snowing in April!

New Phone Number

I've got a new universal phone number for my mobile, office and Skype numbers: 828.414.3578 If you ring that number, you'll get a hold of me. So, please change my number in your address book. BTW, this is through a great new service called GrandCentral which allows you to aggregate all of your numbers so that they all connect through a common number. It really is stupid to have a ...
