    Note: this is a letter that I wrote to my unborn son (due early August) last week.  It’s my sole contribution to Keturah’s baby shower. Hey Jude, You’re going to hear those two words A LOT.  I’m not kidding, either.  So many people are going to say lines to you such as “Hey Jude, don’t…

    Yes, this post is about travel plans I have after the summer and in the early part of 2009.  Life with a one year old – and soon to be a life with two kids – means you plan trips way in advance.  It’s the ultimate example of how life with little children can so…

    I know I said there would be a pause in new Mason photos, but videos don’t count. Especially since Flickr just started supporting video and I acquired a new JVC hard disk camcorder and I want to play with both.

    Honestly, I take a lot of pictures and I take pictures of things other than Mason.  Though you would never know it by looking at my Flickr photostream. So, for the next month, I’m going to focus on going back through my recent photos and posting pictures to Flickr of subjects other than Mason. Of…

    Keturah and I paid a visit to her doctor yesterday and received some wonderful news. Our second baby, due in early August, is — or will be (depending on where you stand on the whole “what is life?” debate) — a boy. This will be our second child and our second boy. The baby is…

    I’ve been extremely tardy in writing a recap post about my trip to Austin, Texas for the SXSW interactive Festival.  Suffice to say, it was an amazing experience and an event that I will be returning to in years to come.  One thing that was pretty clear about this gathering of technology, interactive, and social…

    One of things I’ve been lagging on in the past month are photos I took on my Italy. I came home with about 800 photos on my Nikon DSLR alone. There’s some great shots of Tuscan hill towns like Pienza, Siena, Montepulciano, and Cortona. Also managed to do some night shoots in Florence and Lucca. …

    I’m headed to Italy with my family in less than two weeks and I’m beginning to feel a bit unprepared. I’ve got the basics covered – plane tickets, lodging, rental car. But have yet to flesh out the itinerary with things to do, places to visit, and most importantly… where to eat. Here’s an outline…

    “This has all been wonderful, but now I’m on my way…” – Phish Has it really been six years that I’ve been working at NASA Ames Research Center? Wow. That’s a long time to be doing anything. If I think about the things I’ve been doing for six years or more, the list gets short…
