even more pictures...

Being the proud father that I am, my blog often turns into an online photo album of my son...









These were taken about a month ago by Danielle McEntee, a friend of Jamie's. Unfortunately, on this day, Braden was not the most cooperative little guy. But she took some great pictures anyway. She has started her own photography company, Dani Mac Photography. She also has a blog. Check her out.

traffic update...

As I told you before, I started using Google Analytics...and I was happy to discover that 57% of my traffic comes from users with the Mac operating system...including one iPhone user...so congrats to the many Apple lovers out there...and extra congrats to the lone iPhone user (ie. iPhoner)...

If you are my iPhone reader...make yourself known...

google comes to fresno...

I'm assuming that most of you know about a wonderful Google innovation known as Street View. If you haven't heard...it's only the coolest thing ever created. Basically, it takes Google Maps and adds street level photography. In other words, you can see a picture of your house (under construction), your parent's house and anywhere else that the Google Car can get to. It already was one of my favorite Google products...but now Street View has invaded Fresno and it is awesome.

Also, the new Street View technology (used in Fresno) automatically blurs faces. However, in the beginning stages, there was no such technology, leading to cameras catching funny stuff such as: Cubs manager Lou Pinella outside of a Wrigley Field bar.

positive post thursday...

My positive post series has been pretty non-existent...(does that mean it has been neutral?)...so I'm going to fix that and bring back a little positivity.

My wife and I have been married for nearly four years now (June 26th...I haven't forgotten) and to be real honest with you, the viewing audience, they have been the best four years of my life...(that's right, even better than high school). So I just wanted to gush a little bit about how awesome my beautiful wife is. She is a ridiculously super-mom. Braden and her have been the best of friends for about seven months now.

Month #1


Month #7

When I get home, they are usually playing and you can tell that he loves his mom a lot already. He usually wakes her up at the crack of dawn (5:45-6:15ish) but she is always excited to see him and they get an early start on playtime.

Jamie can be pretty quiet around most people, but at our house she makes me laugh daily...nay, hourly. Her sense of humor is dry, sarcastic and really funny. Even Braden has been laughing at her lately....see here:


I could go on and on about her incredible work ethic or her humble attitude, but I think that I'm already gonna be in trouble for writing this much about her...

I did want to add...although she didn't want a single person to know about this....Jamie was recently inducted into the Athletic Wall of Honor at Fresno Christian. She really deserved this honor because she absolutely is one of the best soccer players that I've ever seen....and although this doesn't necessarily qualify her for any other awards, you have to trust me when I say it....

If you took a bunch of different sports...maybe eight to ten....and had the very best female athletes in the world compete at all of them....I honestly think that she'd win...I know that sounds crazy, but she can play any sport better than you...I guarantee it.

You should read more about the Wall of Honor and check out her accomplishments.

In closing, my wife rocks...I love her very much

thanks gene...

Gene sent me this awesome photo today...it is now one of my favorites.

google is my friend...

I discovered Google Analytics a long time ago...yet I hadn't started using it until I read a post by this guy...so now I'm using it...which means I'd better start posting so I don't go into a state of depression when I look at my poor numbers and realize nobody is watching....(at least I'll know how the Arrested Development folks felt)
