Well, I have always used Amazon for as long as I remember, and am a Prime member. But now, I have used it even more. Bought a fridge for my bedroom and had it next day for $3.99. Cool how Amazon still honors the $3.99 delivery for an item as big as a fridge.

Also, Amazon now has a subscription program for stuff. I subscribed to the baby wipes program which saves me 15% off on the baby wipes!!! I’m now looking for a diaper version haha.

Anyway, Dad’s coming up to visit this weekend so he can see is grandkids. Hopefully my brother will also be coming up too.

I have the DirecTV HDTV DVR, and the feature with Caller ID showing up is awesome. It fits my couch potato personality of not having to get up and pick up the phone if I don’t have to.

But, I think it’s hysterical that Caller ID doesn’t show up when it’s DirecTV calling you… Smart of them, yet devious as well.

My mom is flying in from New York to see her grand kids. She’ll be staying until Tuesday. I’ll be picking her up at the airport later this morning.

I’ve been watching reruns of Star Trek: Voyager. I’m trying to figure out when I watched these in the past. The show ran from 1995 until 2001, which is when I was going to school. I don’t remember having much time to watch TV back then. Anyway, Spike has a bunch of shows that I’m catching up on. I love Tivo and HDTV. What a combo. Now if I can only figure out the best way to get the shows off the Tivo and onto my iPod. I don’t feel like an Apple TV or building a Media Center PC.

I also started adding dates to the posts. While WordPress automatically shows the date, MacJournal doesn’t, so sorry if you get annoyed with seeing a date twice.

I finally have time to update this blog. We had some new additions to the family last week, and I’ve been busy entering into fatherhood. Bishop, our dog, is adjusting well to the changes at home. I’ve started a new blog just for the family. We’ll see how much I use it. Here is the URL.

I’ve password protected it, so if anyone wants the password, just send me an email.

Well, other than this life changing event, nothing new to report.

Wow, this was a busy week. A lot going on right now. I’m trying to figure out the best way to do a private log. I don’t want it too complex that people will have a tough time getting to it. Well, I’ll figure it out one of these days.

Got the BMW back on Tuesday. It’s running well, but I’m out some cash. Been busy at work. A lot of changes going on again. I was busy today with meetings and doing presentations.

Tomorrow, I think that we’re gonna grab Indian food in San Mateo. Other than that, we have some shopping to do.

Dropped our BMW off at the dealership today. The bill is gonna run us a lot just to get it fixed… We have no choice but to fix it as I don’t want another car payment.

Nice and sunny day out here in the Bay Area. We had Dim Sum for brunch today. We haven’t had Dim Sum for a while. It was pretty good stuff. Not sure what we’ll be doing tomorrow.
