One evening last week, I got a chance to meet up with a couple of friends of mine who I used to work with back at URS Corp. (mega-engineering company roughly 1,000 times the size of where I work now). One is a soon-to-be Dad, like me, only a couple of months ahead. The other… Continue reading Good, Because Children Like Butterflies

The Baby Is A…
It’s A Girl! And a healthy, active little girl at that. So, do you think our little girl looks more like me or Angela? I’m pretty sure she’s not done growing just yet, but we think she has Angela’s nose and my forehead! Either, way, I already think she’s gorgeous. I hold no hope of ever… Continue reading The Baby Is A…
A Nice Spring Weekend
Angela and I had a relaxing few days (mostly) at home over the past weekend. We spent most of the weekend at home, although Friday night we went to pick up our race numbers for the following morning’s 10k as well as hit the grocery store for the first time in weeks. We cleaned up… Continue reading A Nice Spring Weekend
Geekdad at Wired
Chris Anderson (editor in chief at Wired mag and author of The Long Tail) announced a new blog at Wired.com this afternoon: Geekdad. It looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun projects, gadgets, and advice from the point of view of dads. Needless to day, I’m excited and it (as well as… Continue reading Geekdad at Wired
Fame: Is It Any Wonder I Reject You First
Some of you are well aware of how much I use obsess over Newsvine (a news writing and link-blog site). Recently, one of the sites more prolific users, Mykola Bilokonsky, did e‑mail interviews with a handful of other users. I was surprised that he asked me but I got a real kick out of answering… Continue reading Fame: Is It Any Wonder I Reject You First
Baby Update: Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh! Edition
We visited the doctor this afternoon to have our first listen of the baby’s heartbeat. While not quite as dumb-founding as getting to see the first ultrasound, it was still really exciting. So much so that the nurse had to take the microphone (or transducer, whatever) off of Angela’s belly for a moment during a… Continue reading Baby Update: Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh! Edition
Our First Ultrasound
Angela and I went to the doctor yesterday morning to have our first ultrasound. There’s not much to see at 10 weeks, but seeing a little flutter of pixels which the nurse referred to as a heartbeat was a great sense of both relief and excitement. The nurse also quickly pointed out the head of… Continue reading Our First Ultrasound
We’re Having A Baby
Well, it’s probably the worst kept secret of our lives, but just so the whole world knows: …and we’re both really excited. We had our first doctor’s visit this afternoon and everything looks great! So, around late August the whole world will get to know baby Coleman-Dyer (or Dyer-Coleman, we’re still working that out). We’ve been dying… Continue reading We’re Having A Baby
What Facial Expressions to Use When You’re Expecting
So Angela and I have been reading some different books on pregnancy. Okay, she’s been doing most of the reading so far as she has about five different books. I bought one, titled Pregnancy Sucks for Men: What to Do When Your Miracle Makes You BOTH Miserable, which is a fairly entertaining read as well… Continue reading What Facial Expressions to Use When You’re Expecting
Driving In My Car
So, the other day I was really feeling bothered by the fact that I wanted to write on the blog, but hadn’t had the time to do so. I noticed that I had yet to take the DV camera out of my bag (or man-purse, as Angela calls it) before going back to work. I… Continue reading Driving In My Car
