Even at 4 years old, his pure intensity shows on this at bat. Thanks little buddy!

I had to set this up for them to dance together. It was priceless (at least to me)!!!

Thanks for sending this, Kenny.

Ben is extremely outgoing! While at Joshua’s birthday party, he decided he’d join the workers of JohnnyRocket’s at Great Lakes Crossing for one of their dances!!!

Somehow, this shot captured the pure “motion” of the swing… I’m so glad it worked out this way!

What a kick ass event. I can’t wait to do this again next year when I’m in shape and not injured. I think Brad and I could rock this thing for our weight class (if we still both come in at 400 lbs. or more).

This definitely needs a great deal of work!

Benjamin had an absolute blast playing in the water along the Detroit River on Sunday while we were there watching the Red Bull Air Race!

It seems all went well… I still have to wait for MMS to be available for AT&T. I can’t believe my friends in Canada with Rogers already have MMS. Bugger!

Finally, seemed to be made available to me around 1:10PM EST. Keeping my fingers crossed…

This looks amazing!!!

A colleague of mine had a post about whether or not we really need CAPTCHA on our website forms to prevent spammers and spambots. He referred to a funny comic at xkcd.com:

Ever get a text message that makes you say, “What the F*** did they just try to say…#&&#$& T9 or iPhone correcters!”

Submit your favorite messed up text message and discuss them. Maybe we can get those folks at T9, Apple, etc., to work on better intelligence with future text correcting techniques!

I got this sent to me by my good friend, Jon:

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,
“Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.” The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and* *100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
“She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Republican.” “I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?” “Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.” The man smiled and responded, “You must be an Obama Democrat.”
“I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?” “Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you are going. You’ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it’s my fault.”

Yesterday, at Benjamin’s 4th birthday party, he said one of the funniest things in quite some time!

He was opening gifts and he got two Bakugan Battle Brawler carry cases that are these little plastic cases that hold 15 or so Bakugan Battle Brawlers. He said, “Awesome, I got 2 of these. One for me and one for me!”
