Saddam H is going to hang

according to nbc saddam is going to hang this weekend, ok whatev…..  the interesting part of the story is that his laywers dont want the US to give him to Iraqi authorities because it is forbidden to hand a prisoner of war to his adversary.  So does that make the US a Saddam Hussein ally?

being a dad

well its been a couple days since my new official title of dad has been in place and it is great. you may not see very frequest posts here for a little while at least, but it will get back to normal eventually. i have this whole week off of work to stay home and take care of luke, and it is going to be hard to go back.

becoming a dad is by far the best thing i’ve ever done!

baby ETA: soon

we’re heading to the hospital in about 10 minutes to have a baby.  its a really strange feeling to know that you are about to leave home and when you come back you have another person that is going to be living with you for a long time, someone that no one has ever met before.  i really hope he’s a cool guy and doesn’t have a lot of loud parties on nites that i’m not having a loud party!

i’ll get pictures and maybe even videos posted soon!

Christmas Shopping

Don’t tell her, but for christmas I’m going to buy my wife an iPod.  Actually what I’m gonna do is buy myself a nice new creative zen and give my wife my old 20Gb iPod.  I’ll probably give her a set of headphones and one of the things that transmits music to the radio so she can listen in her vehicle.

I’m totally going to get the best gifter of the year award this year!

The pains of Adobe Acrobat

Adobe acrobat can be painfull at times, and often necessary if you just gotta read that damm PDF.  A lot of people don’t know there are alternatives.  I’m here to give you one, and i guarantee you will be happy with it.

save a pdf to your desktop and open it with acrobat.  now install this program and then open the same pdf.  you will never want to see acrobat again, trust me.

Foxit PDF Reader

They also make a PDF writer if thats what you need.  I haven’t used it but I bet its quality.

lost keys?

is anyone missing a keychain with a couple of keys on it?  i found a keychain in my couch tonite.  describe the missing keys to me and i’ll get them back to you.

didn’t know my mom was such a papa roach fan

firing up the ol laptop tonite and google talk automatically loads up (along with about 900 other programs) and i get my little mail notifications.  at about the same time i’m reaching for my tastey dole fruit cup on the end table i catch that i got an email from my mom.  as i grab the fruitcup i read the subject: “don’t miss papa roach”.  thats awfully weird that my mom wants me to go see papa roach, in fact i’m surprised that she knows who they are.

well you’ve probably already figured out that it changed emails on me quick and i didn’t catch it.  the next email after my mom’s was from ticketmaster.  its too bad, cause i just burned my mom a rod stewart cd that i’m gonna give her for christmas.

Dakota Chess Club?

Ok, a couple games of chess between me and BlakeB and I decide we should start a weekly chess league of sorts, he’s down with it, so I set up a Yahoo group, cause Yahoo chess rocks.

The idea is we get a good number of people who at least know how to play chess that would play one game/week.  We do some type of round robin with all of us.  It might be fun.

So check out this Yahoo Group at the address below:
