Col­lec­tion of thoughts and issues, as I work them out. These rarely have any chrono­log­i­cal val­ue, but just get fit in with the rest of things.

DIY Weekend: Hardwood Flooring

Not too long after we moved into our house, Angela and I tore out the old car­pet in the sun­room and laid car­pet tiles. We were actu­al­ly very pleased with them; they’re good qual­i­ty car­pet and did­n’t wear out. How­ev­er, after get­ting a sec­ond pup­py who had a large yet weak blad­der (Mag­gie…), Angela quick­ly… Con­tin­ue read­ing DIY Week­end: Hard­wood Flooring

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

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

Photography of Israeli Defense Force Women Soldiers

I’m not an old man, by real­ly any­one’s account. Even Tim­o­thy Leary, were he still alive, could tech­ni­cal­ly trust me as I’m not yet over thir­ty. How­ev­er, the one thing that makes me feel my age per­haps more than any thing else is to see pho­tos of sol­diers serv­ing at war. They go to join… Con­tin­ue read­ing Pho­tog­ra­phy of Israeli Defense Force Women Soldiers

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

You Stink

I’ve got loads to put up online and so I don’t want any­one to think that I’m doing noth­ing. How­ev­er, as I’m sit­ting here trans­fer­ring pho­tos and video to the PC I’m drink­ing a glass of milk. That’s no so weird except for the fact it stinks. What’s more upset­ting is this milk has been… Con­tin­ue read­ing You Stink

Merry Christmas 2006

We hope that every­one has a won­der­ful Christ­mas today and a hap­py hol­i­day season.

So, We’re Pregnant

About 7:00am on Sat­ur­day morn­ing (Nov. 16th), Angela ran into the bed­room, threw off the cov­ers, and yanked me by the arm. “Come here. You need to see this.” Of all the thoughts run­ning through my head (not that many, since I was still most­ly asleep), none of them had any­thing to do with fam­i­ly. I nat­u­ral­ly… Con­tin­ue read­ing So, We’re Pregnant
