The Occasional Blog

• I get to do WatchD.O.G.S. at Brian’s school. Patolling the drop off loop. #watchdogs http://twitpic.com/3wbiv #
• Friday morning line-up. http://twitpic.com/3wcf2 #
• Got to play a game with the kindergarteners. #watchdog http://twitpic.com/3wjkk #
• A quick break then helping Mr. A’s 4th with fluency (how many words in a minute). #watchdog http://twitpic.com/3wnpy #
• I’m popped. Recess, PE, and multiplication bingo with 3rd graders. #watchdog #
• I can’t stress enough how important it is for dads to volunteer. Man up! #watchdog http://www.fathers.com #

• @markdr I’ve been running #tweetie all day. I *really* like it. Ideally, it’d sync with the iPhone version, but no biggie. in reply to markdr #
• @kkribs haven’t tried #tweetdeck. I generally don’t like heavyweight environments (e.g., Java or Air) for lightweight apps. in reply to kkribs #
• @benredux re: OS X 10.5 upgrade, just order a copy but with 10.6 about six months away it’d be a bad value. in reply to benredux #

• Being an old time geek, this vid is just too entertaining. http://ping.fm/BX2Qx #

I know this is the Occasional Blog, but posts have been too far in between (the Twitter posts don’t count). Please forgive me. I’m not dead, just busy. For the sake of an update here are some highlights of the last several weeks.

• I’m trying to find a Senior Systems Administrator at work (you’d think that Sony Playstation would have stacks of resumés)
• My daughter turned twelve and after today’s haircut, she looks ready for high school
• The pond got its spring cleaning a few weeks ago and looks abfab. Too bad the heron got all our koi and we’re left with only 4-5″ feeders
• We took a family vacation to San Francisco to coincide with spring break and a business meeting
• The MacBook Mini is working out quite well especially after adding 2G of RAM and an 8G SDHC card
• I will be going to both E3 (definite) and WWDC (very likely) so June will be busy as well

I’ll do my best to do an actual post soon, but until I can find a candidate, things will still be busy.
