the life and times of

Lifestreaming popped up on my radar sometime last year, mid 2008, and has been of interest to me ever since. I make my living online, have had a blog in one form or another since 2000, and sign up for just about any and all social networking type site that crosses my path. Though I am very much the extreme online user, over this same time I have seen just about everyone I know who uses the internet on a semi daily basis start posting updates of one form or another on Facebook and/or Twitter. Both sites have blown up over the past year and the main reason as I see it is because of these status updates. They are easy to do and follow, wheather it be people that you are interested in or know in real life. Mostly the real life. Blogging isn’t going anywhere and it will continue to grow and change the way we consume information online but lifestreaming as a way to communicate, interact, and follow many is the way of now and the foreseeable future.

First Father’s Day

Even though Jen isn’t due for a couple more months, she and my mom got me my first father’s day cards. This is the first father’s day that has meant anything to me since my dad’s passing. When you aren’t a dad and don’t have a dad then the day kinda falls off the calendar as it has for me for many years now. Well, it’s good to have it back.

Stay-cation

We’ve been having a hard time getting away for a trip but managed to go for a little stay-cation at a bed and breakfast in Newport Beach. It was a great time and as you can see, the baby makes the belly go round. Jen is 27 weeks in this photo.

Living at Home

Jen and I have been living at my Mom’s house for the past month now and things have been working out great. My mom is great (and very helpful with Jen being pregnant), we’re comfortable, we’re saving money. All good things.

Our search for a new home is continuing and going well. We’ve found some good neighborhoods that we’d love to raise a family in and have seen some good homes. We’re still looking but haven’t found THE place yet.

It’s a Boy!
