Amazon Plugin

In the quest to add more geeky stuff to my already very geeky life, I’ve added a new plugin to my WordPress install. It’s called WP-Amazon and it adds a good looking interface to your write menu that lets you insert pictures of products right into the blog. For example. The other night we watched [...]

Clean up, Clean up

The boys are learing to be “Mom’s best little helpers”. Granted, they are the reason that everything can get so dirty, but they are usually pretty willing to help us clean everything up. After dinner they will each grab a broom and start singing “Clean up, Clean up…blah blah gibblededeee”. It’s so cute. Hopefully that [...]

Simon and G-funk

CHURCH WAS AMAZING. it was definately one of the coolest sundays yet. The theme for sacrament was mission work, so obviously the Ward Mission Leader, my companion, and I got to talk. So that was alright, but the amazing part was the people that were there. Two new, strong active families have moved into the [...]

Everyone has a morning routine. Or a evening routine. Or a newspaper routine. There are certain ways that we all start to do things. It doesn’t happen on purpose, or even consiously, but everyone does it. If you ever want proof of this start thinking about how you are brushing your teeth (you do brush [...]

MTC Work

As I’m learning more and more about Web Design and using standards, I’ve come to realize that I’m not the most innovative of people.

Tivo, oh Tivo

For a graduation present to me I got a Tivo player. Wow. I definately give this thing 5 stars. I don’t think that we were ever a big tv family, but it has been so nice to have a few episodes of “Blue’s Clues” or “Jojo’s Circus” stored up for the nights when the boys [...]

Ukraine Donetsk Mission

I am the webmaster for the Ukraine Donetsk Mission Alumni Web site. What does this mean? Nothing really, especially because I am using the standard SIB template that so many other mission alumni sites use. I approve the occasional addition to the site and make the occasional change to the site template, but overall it [...]

Gmail for me?

If everything goes right I will soon be the proud owner of a gmail account. How did I come by this? Am I an influential blogger who knows people who can send out the invites? Nope, I’m a lame loser who had to buy one on eBay. But what a buy! The prices are crashing [...]
