Animusic and Raytracing

March 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment · dave, family, techno geeks

A long time ago, I saw a movie clip called “Pipe Dream” from a company called Animusic. I loved it! Here’s a brief clip: The concept behind the whole project is so fascinating. On the first note, the whole thing is raytraced. (For those that don’t know, in its most rudimentary form, raytracing is a […]

Birthday Gift

March 26th, 2008 · 4 Comments · dave, family, techno geeks

Every time occasion lends itself to gift giving, Dave tries to guess what he is getting. More often than not he is right. But this year, for his birthday, he was convinced that I was getting him an air compressor. I played along, and fueled the fire. . . for almost 2 weeks. So when […]

St. Patty’s Day Dinner: Corned Beef & Cabbage

March 17th, 2008 · 1 Comment · family, food

Growing up, it was a traditional St. Patrick’s Day meal at my house. . . Corned Beef and Cabbage. Yum Yum! What is Corned Beef you ask? Well, I think its a traditional Irish dish. But I’m not Irish, so I wouldn’t know. This is what wikipedia says: “Corned beef (also ‘bully beef’ in the […]

March 13th, 2008 · 4 Comments · bridget, dave, family

She tries so hard to be helpful. I think it might just be a year or two before she figures out the shoe-tying thing. She sure is cute trying though. She loves her daddy!

10,000 Words

March 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment · a day in the life, bridget, family

I’ve done this once before. Because a picture is worth 1,000 words. . . What do these pictures say to you? “Just make yourself at home” “The New Beehive” If you’ve seen the “Hair Chair” post, you’ll know why this is extra funny. “Singing in the tub” “Heavy Load” “Mom, I have a baby in […]

The joys of being 2

February 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment · a day in the life, bridget, family

Bridget is loving being two. And she’s driving me insane. I think we average two temper-tantrums a day now. Usually over really, really dumb things – like my not letting her get a drink from the fountain at Home Depot for the 3rd time. Or because she can’t run away from me at the Cheese […]

Hair Chair

February 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment · a day in the life, bridget, family

A few days ago Bridget came into the computer room, where I was sitting, carrying her curling iron in one hand and her white step stool in the other. She told me she was going to do my hair. Smiling at her independence and motivation, and knowing that this was an idea all her own […]

Call me Curly

February 11th, 2008 · No Comments · bridget, family

Lately Bridget has been a lot better about letting me curl her hair. Last summer I purchased a 1/4″ curling iron for her hair. She let me curl it a couple of times then (usually while she sat in front of the TV watching Signing Time), but quickly became frightened one day when I told […]
