I miss see this guy on the Screensavers back before TechTV was rueined by G4. This is just so funny because I didn’t think it was possible for someone to be so clueless to think that the Internet just comes free to you over a Linksys Access Points.

Never did I think that it would be so much fun though.

That maybe surprising for people to hear me say that, but I have truely had a blast with parenthood so far. Who can argue when you can get pictures like these.

44th Birthday

Two weeks ago was my 44th birthday and I wasn`t feeling too good that morning.
I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say,
“Happy Birthday!”, and probably have a present for me.
As it turned out, she didn`t even say good morning, let alone any happy birthday.
I thought, well, that`s wives for you, the children will remember…The children came in to breakfast and didn`t say a word.
So when I left for the office, I was feeling pretty low and despondent..
As I walked into my office, my secretary Janet said, “Good morning, Boss, Happy Birthday”. And I felt a little better that someone had remembered.
I worked until noon, then Janet knocked on my door and said, “You know, it`s such a beautiful day outside, and it`s your birthday, let`s go to lunch, just you and me.”
I said, “That`s the greatest thing I`ve heard all day, let`s go!”
We went to lunch we didn`t go where we normally go; instead we went out to a private little place. We had two martinis and enjoyed lunch tremendously.
On the way back to the office, she said, “You know, it`s such a beautiful day, we don`t need to go back to the office, do we?”
I said, “No, I guess not.” She said, “Let`s go to my apartment.”
After arriving at her apartment she said, “Boss, if you don`t mind, I think I`ll go into the bedroom. “Sure!” I excitedly replied.
She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake —– followed by my wife, children, and dozens of our friends, all singing Happy Birthday.
And I just sat there…on the couch…naked.

It has been so much fun so far but yet it seems like time is going by way too quickly.

I haven’t quite had the time to get it off of the video camera yet but I still have to get video from his first bath uploaded. Once I have it done I will post her and on Zachary’s Blog.

That they are saying will speed up your browsing. I don’t know if it will actually speed anything up but the first thing I did after seeing this was update the setting in my router.
