I’m a pretty avid reader of Geek Dad over at Wired.com and on occasion enter the drawing contests on their site when they come up with some really great swag for your average Geek. Kellie being the Domo-kun fan she is it wasn’t hard to enter the Domonation contest recently posted at Geek Dad, which surprisingly we won!
 The loots from Domonation prize @ Geek Dad Now Ripley hasn’t been properly introduced to Domo-kun so we took the time and tried to shoot some photos with her playing with items or sitting with them. Tip for would baby photographers grow some patience like you have never imagined! Ripley was interested more in what things felt like than actually paying attention to camera or what was around her, but we did get a few photos that were pretty nice and definitely high on the cute scale…
We will just have to wait and see if she and Domo-kun will be long term friends or not, but this is the best possible start we could hopeful for our little Geeklet!

Well the week was long and had some pleasant surprises in it, mostly with my interview and acceptance of a new job with Peer1 Hosting. Yes, I turned in my notice on Thursday to Bennett and start my new job on the 9th of August. I’m excited about the job namely cause it let’s me work an evening shift so I can be home and available during the day with Ripley. Kellie nor I were very excited about having to put her with a day care or some sort of sitter unless we absolutely just had too. So this takes care of our ‘what to do til Nana comes back’ issue as well as letting us breath a sigh of relief of not having to make any decisions on day care.
I’d love to say that all that weekly excitement bled into our weekend but honestly we played it really low key with a small trip out Saturday towards Perimeter Mall to stop by Jake’s House (a Life is Good store) where Kellie found an adorable shirt and we both pounced on some stuff for Ripley. It was a great day to just get out and drive, Ripley was a doll and of course garnered her fair share of attention. We ended the day back at home though with some chinese take out from Dragon House before settling in to catching up to stuff on the DVR.
Sunday arrived with me heading to Wallom’s place to help him move into Hansen’s place. Arrived about 9:40 and got started. It didn’t really take that long but thanks to the July heat it definitely felt like forever. I even got me a nice ‘pinken-ed’ tan while I was out, but with his family’s help it was really done and over with in no time. Hansen’s place looks real nice and I think Wallom will settle in over the next couple of days. His family’s job was far from over though as some of the furniture and stuff had to go to Augusta for storage and what not. Long day for Wallom’s folks for sure! It felt good to be able to lend Wallom a hand but man I think if someone is moving in the next month I’m going to keep my mouth shut. 
Was a great weekend and things are really just starting to fall into place for a change.

We took the weekend at a slow stroll even with the spotty rain it was pretty laid back, for the most part…
We kicked off our lazy weekend with some pizza and some play time with Ripley. She’s getting stronger by the day and holding her head up and wanting to follow voices and sounds around the room. Sometimes this works out and sometimes she almost topples over. Either way it’s the cutest thing I’ve seen! Especially when she just coos and grins like a lil’mad woman.
Saturday morning I headed out to help James & Masako do some moving, their apartment is really nice and we’ll defnitely being coming back over to check it out in greater detail. When I got home and cleaned up we headed out to Target which Ripley handled rather well as we cruised through picking up a few odds and ends. Snagged a Mindwipe on clearance, which was awesome! Before headin’ home to some more lazy time with the family.
Sunday was going rather well with an active start and then a trip to Publix for the week’s food stuffs. We got home, unpacked, fed Ripley and laid her down for a nap. We didn’t want her to sit up during The Crazies which we started and almost finished, just at about the climax of the film the lamp inside our TV decided it had done enough and with a simple “POP” the picture faded, to screams inside a car wash. We stopped the movie and made the diagnosis, yup blown lamp. We worried about the replacement cost but ended up finding a lamp and assembly for a mere $80 from apexlamps.com, we’ll see how it turns out. Of course Kellie is wondering just what we’ll do with almost two days of no TV, but I think we’ll be just fine. More quality time with the Ripley and some time to maybe sit down and catch up on a few things we might otherwise wait til the weekend to do.
It was a great weekend with the exception of the bum lamp. Hopefully moving Wallom and next weekend will be just as easy going.

Ah, weekend ahead and I had the car washed at the office, this means I have now single handedly guaranteed rain for least the evening. However even with a slow and cruddy ride home made coming home to some good eats very nice. Of course we still had to get some groceries and this is when the storm finally rolled in. Luckily we were in, out, and down the road before it finally dropped and we sat listening to the ebb and flow of some really heavy lighting before turning in for tomorrow…
We had celebrated our 1st Anniversary a few weeks ago and as a gift I presented Kellie with tickets to ‘Breakfast with a Biologist‘ so we headed downtown early in the morning and arrived a bit early. Turns out that was just fine so we got to tour around the sitting area watching with uninterrupted pleasure the Ocean Voyager tank which was breath taking! Finally we got to enter the ballroom and sit down to breakfast by the staff of Wolfgang Puck catering which was absolutely amazing! The lecture in question was in regards to Sea Turtles and the Georgia Aquariums involvement in Rehabilitation and Conservation projects around the Southeast. We learned of the turtles that have visited and stayed with the aquarium prior to release into the wild as well as some of the conditions that effect these wonderful creatures. It was a very informative experience and honestly a lot of fun for us, but while this is certainly a family friendly event I couldn’t imagine small children sitting still nor enjoying such a discussion except in some very rare cases. After the lecture and questions we were allowed to enter the Aquarium and explore as general attendees. I had never been so I took a lot of pictures (badly) and put the new Flip to use. We plan to go back with hopefully a little less crowd but until I’ll just share videos I threw together…

After our trip we headed home and just tried to relax and take care of a bit of house what-nots. It was a pretty good afternoon after most of the house hold settled down a bit. We ended up having some Rubello’s for dinner quite an order with calzones, pizza, and wings! It was all delicious as usual and I gave their calzone a try for the first time, really quite tasty and very well made. Will definitely have that again!
Sunday we didn’t have much in the way planned except my Grandparents coming to visit us and see Ripley. They brought her some gifts and stayed for a while visiting. It was really nice to have them over to the house and have them meet Ripley and just spend some time together. They got to meet Barbara and I do believe everyone made good impressions and we’ll have to do it again sometime.
After my Grandparents left we settled down took care of Ripley before watching the new Clash of the Titans… can’t say that it was the best choice but for a review and spoilers see the block below…
****** WARING POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD ******
Clash of the Titans – 1 out of 5 Krakens
While I like some of the twisting of the tale they took from the Original this reboot/remake/rehash had the very plot and cohesive story line ripped right out of it. The acting is mostly sub par with a few one line exceptions sprinkled through out the film. Liam Neeson plays Zeus hungry for devotion, Ralph Finnes plays Hades out to take power and get even with Zeus, and Sam Worthington is Perseus a demi-god who wants to just be a (hu)man by doing things a (hu)man cannot do. Perseus is so tied up in his efforts of being just a (hu)man that he refuses aid given freely by the Gods to him this of course costs him when everyone, EVERYONE but Perseus dies on their long mission to defeat the Kraken and defy the Gods. So they want to defy the gods, only Zeus wants to help Perseus and his fellow travelers encourage him to accept this aid, so they can defy the gods… wait what? Yeah that what just happened. Perseus is also told if he defeats the Kraken and fulfills his destiny he will die, only he doesn’t everyone else does. The rest of the original film is draped around this film for merely having the parts from the original still in this remake, they don’t offer any real value and often are just in the way. Wait til you see Andromeda simply tossed off the tower and Perseus is shown going after her minutes later, when he honestly has no reason or purpose to do so… I guess he just digs diving after people. Egh.
The plot and points of the movie becomes so muddled that you can’t really walk away from it with a clear picture of what it was you were suppose to have really gathered from the movie. It was a bunch of pretty scenes and great effects but really what was the point? Sadly there wasn’t one so the story veers off in what seems to be almost three different movies spliced together to make one workable film before the production deadline.
Had higher hopes for this title as the original is a classic and a much loved favorite of my wife. It just wasn’t meant to be a I guess and this movie sadly strengthens the thought that sometimes you don’t mess with a classic, that’s why it’s a classic.
I had some folks ask me about prints of pictures for Ripley as well as when I might put some on the blog so while all of our images are mainly digital I’ve put them on Flickr and here, but on Flickr you can order prints if you so desire. I also updated and tweaked some other pages as well, check out the links below:
Thanks for checking in on us and we hope everyone out there is had a great weekend too!

A three day weekend that stayed pretty busy. We took Friday night to go out with Randy (brother in-law) and Barbara (mother in-law) and have a nice hibachi dinner at Tokyo Steakhouse in Newnan. Ripley slept through everything: the banging, the fire, the loud conversation. Not a peep. After dinner we headed home and shortly to bed. It had been a long week for us and getting to bed felt awesome!
Saturday arrived and after we awoke we got ready to head to Johnny’s place and meet up with him, Anna, and Ben. Ben is a good friend of ours who moved northward to Massachusetts. He was visiting and we were lucky enough to catch him for at least lunch over at Doc Chey’s in the Virgina Highland’s area. It was a good meal and great company! We had to head south bound for some Ripley supplies and other shopping errands then we ended up at Taco Mac before heading home. I got to play with my new camera as well and it takes some good video, we posted this video on Facebook, you’ll have to be my Friend to view it but it’s the best I can do til I find a good way to host and display video… well here it is from YouTube, thanx Mr. Wallom!
Sunday we spent the morning relaxing and finishing up some of our DVR’d programming before heading out to visit my folks and my Aunt Cindy and her family. It was a good time out and it seemed like Ripley really enjoyed getting out and meeting some of her extended family! We’ll have to try and figure out how to get by more often. It just seems like you never have a free hour much anymore much less hours to travel around all the time, but we’ll make the effort.
Having the extra day off Monday we choose to use it wisely and did much of nothing except some house cleaning, TV catch-up and when the evening of the day came I got out to do some basic yard stuff. We have some out door improvement plans time and cash permitting, but just cleaning up helped a lot.
It was a great weekend and we got to see a lot of people without feeling too rushed to be everywhere at once. I hope it can stay that way!

This year has gone by so fast, it feels like it has gone within the speedy blink of an eye. On June 28th of last year (2009), I remember waking up giddy and excited to begin our lives together and a exactly year later, while not exactly so “giddy” due to chronic exhaustion and a sense of dreading going back to work, I woke up with just as much love and admiration in my heart for my husband.
He covered a majority of our weekend beautifully in his post but he left out some things…. I surprised him with a card at dinner and again on Monday morning. I’m sure at this point he was probably tired of reading cards — he had gotten cards from Ripley and I for his b-day and father’s day previously. LOL It’s very hard for me to express myself via card, but I’m proud of the one I gave him Saturday night. My husband is much more eloquent than I and the card and letter he gave me on Saturday morning made me tear up and I’ll cherish it. He also surprised me with a really awesome gift. On our way to dinner as we were both dressed up (yes, I had a DRESS on…. I wanted to look beautiful for my husband since it was such a special occasion. If you know me, I’m not exactly a dress person!) he told me I looked perfect but was missing something.
After a prompt to open the glove compartment, there was a box and a beautiful card. My husband bought me a beautiful silver Pandora charm bracelet with 5 charms — a buddha (to represent my spirit), a heart (for our love together) a baby carriage (Ripley!) and two gorgeous blue flower spacers. I was speechless and touched at his thoughtfulness and he never fails to surprise me. I really never ask for anything, I don’t buy very much when we go out to shop but I love it when he surprises me with something so awesome….. I absolutely love my bracelet and once again I have another piece of jewelry to wear and cherish. I wish I had a gift for him to open but he got a three holiday combo gift (b-day, father’s day, anniversary…June’s a very busy month for us) of a Flip Ultra HD camera….. What else do you buy the gadget loving GeekDad? He’s got virtually everything and it will be soon enough when he acquires an Ipad! With our baby, he can now film Ripley whlie incognito and then in the future when she’s older, punish her with the cuteness (and embarrassing moments) that he recorded has on digital film.
The night was absolutely perfect…. my husband had planned our dinner down to the last details (so we could have dinner and watch the sun set over the Atlanta skyline). After the crazy month we’ve had of diapers and sleepless nights it was nice to just get away, reconnect, enjoy each other and feel like adults again. Even though we didn’t end up hitting Cafe Intermezzo, his thought of reminiscing our “first” date there together was so romantic it melted my heart. He still owes me a rain-check for a trip back there though. 
We’ve gone through so much during this first year — highs (the birth of our beautiful daughter) and lows (my Nana passing away unexpectedly) and weathered everything else that has happened in between. Most people say that marriage is a lot of hard work but when I’m with Chris it doesn’t feel like work at all. It just feels right and I look forward to many more anniversaries together since this is just the beginning…. I can’t imagine loving anyone else the way I love Chris.
  With our Anniversary being on a Monday, the Monday Kellie happens to go back to work I decided to move our celebration into the weekend before. Coming home late Friday evening I arrived with flowers cause no one could guarantee me a deliver in the AM to Kellie’s office so I had to come with them in hand. Only I got to many and we had to put them into two separate vases. We sat down to ‘Stir-fry’-day which was delicious and then we watched a lil’TV before heading to bed. I awoke early and rolled over with a card for my lovely before she got out of bed. It was a good card and it contained a personal letter, and tickets to Breakfast with a Biologist at the Georgia Aquarium. I think it’ll be a fun outing something we can enjoy for a day out. After this I had to get moving to make my appointment. I had made an early morning appointment for car service as my TPMS had ticked off and I couldn’t figure out why plus there was a TSB for my electronic shift controller that I wanted done plus the usual oil and tire rotation as well. I arrived at the appropriate time and turned over my car once more settling in with my book, well about 2:30 in the afternoon a mere six and a half hours later I was finally headed home to start getting things together for our evening out for our Anniversary. I took great pains to make sure I had everything set, turns out I did and it all ended up being a great evening mostly…
  Kellie & Chris @ the Sundial We drove into Atlanta with a moderate amount of post-Brave’s game traffic. It wasn’t to bad but once we hit the main streets downtown with all the ridiculous ‘No Turn’ signs or the infinite ‘One Way’ looping square I quickly remembered why I absolutely hate going into the city. A few loops, turns, and curses later we had finally arrived at our dining spot the Sun Dial Restaurant at the Westin Peachtree Plaza. We rode up to the seventy-second floor and greeted the host for our table. We started out at looking over the Atlanta skyline at just about the CNN building area, of course we made it about one and about one and a half revolutions before we left. Watching the sunset and just sitting and talking with my wife in this lovely atmosphere was simply fantastic! Our server was polite, friendly, and helpful without being pushy. This place is also fully qualified to use the term ‘Fine Dining’ as everything is prepared
to impeccable standards and the menu is lovingly made from local Southeast produce and meats, this of course all comes with a price. However price on this night was something I didn’t even consider as we were out to have a lovely time in what almost seemed the most mini-micro-vacation ever. I couldn’t have asked for a better evening with my wife, it was like we simply started over for the next year. We rode home taking the long way as we tried to hit Cafe Intermezzo but we ended up taking a rain check on that due to limited parking and the crazy crowd. The ride home was the icing on the cake though as it gave us time to unwind and reconnect with each other. It was a perfect evening!
Sunday greeted us with some errands and another trip to the service center for Kellie’s car to get an oil change and tire rotation before she started back to work on Monday. It wasn’t to bad though and we got to visit some home improvement stores to get some ideas for our next project in the back yard. Overall it was a good way to wrap up the weekend by being slightly productive.

 "We may die alone, but we must live amongst men." Red Dead Redemption has been called Grand Theft Auto IV with horses or more directly “Grand Theft Horse IV” by Yahtzee over at Zero Punctuation. Sure it’s based on the same engine and has some of the same combat styles as Grand Theft Auto IV but that’s about where the similarities end. Red Dead Redemption has a solid Solo campaign story and the western style while gone is the drive of owning posh cars, gathering money, and the acquisition of power that dominates so much of the Grand Theft Auto games. The story begins with a trio of men walking across a train yard to the loading area of a steam engine. The music and title screens are thrown in with a very modern and artistic flare, think Quentin Tarantino’s with his film Kill Bill using 70s style splash screens and fonts only this time they’ve been set to a Western flair to draw you right back to the great Spaghetti Westerns and the voice acting and dialogue drive you right over the top into a quality of production that truly shines. The trio are two law men and a fella named John Marston who they tell to get on the train and nothing will happen to his family. The entire introduction cinematic lasts almost ten minutes and makes you anxious to play through the world they have created, that is if your an interactive cinema style gamer.The Solo campaign has a cast of characters, mini-games, and activities that could keep you busy for hours before you even really dig into the entire beautifully presented story. But if that’s not your thing they’ve still got you covered. The Multiplayer comes in with the ‘Free Roam’ option so that you and about 19 other people can roam the entire world at will, this of course comes with it’s own risks as other players generally want to get rowdy and ‘own’ the room so gun fights break out in and amongst towns sometimes roaming as victims and outlaws alike change locations. If this proves tiresome you and a group of friends can head to a Private Free Roam and spend your time hunting game, running from the law, shooting it out with gangs, and a number of activities stored in your Journal for achievements, Title unlocks, and to just generally explore the world. The Multiplayer does come with levels, fifty of them, each with it’s own weapon and mount unlocks so you get to feel a bit of accomplishment for all your hard work or general lolly gaggin’. Now there were some issues namely with multiplayer on release with some definite latency/positioning issues of people and horses but with a recent patch it has improved dramatically and hopefully they’ll offer another such patch to work out the last of the kinks. Recently an additional FREE Co-Op pack was release to PS3 owners and Xbox 360 Gold Members that included new Co-Op missions, and multiplayer achievements/activities. Hopeful they’ll continue to release such content keeping the game interesting and active.
Whether you play the Solo campaign or just load up the multiplayer the game is packed with content and you won’t regret losing four hours riding around with a posse putting down evil doers, or in some case stirring up some trouble on your own. However the real and simple appeal is the way the content is presented, it’s gritty, it’s old done new, and it’s fun while feeling rewarding. As pirates, ninja, and vampires have made a come back so it seems has the cowboy returned to enjoy another hayday. I’d have to give this game a solid 9.5 out 10 six shooters despite it’s few glitches at release, it’s just to damn good not too.
I awoke my birthday morning to three cards from my lovelies, each more touching than the last. Great start to the day cause even the drive to work was smooth. At the office my boss bought cake and ice cream and a really great card as well. I also won Father’s Day raffle grand prize of a George Foreman Grill! So after an eventful day at work I headed home to get my wonderful ladies and get some birthday grub on at the Georgia Shrimp Company! James and Masako joined us to celebrate and we enjoyed a very delicious meal in a pretty low key environment. No rush, no fuss, no fru-fru over tone was a great place to just eat and hang out. After dinner we headed back to the homestead and enjoyed some conversation and technical demo of the new Boxee unit. James and Masako headed out but we’d see them again shortly!
 No more milky puke, mmkay? Saturday morning we got up and after feeding Ripley she decided she wanted to give it all back. Being covered in milky vomit is not an ideal start to the day but I guess I’m just so amused by her and the situation all I can do is laugh while trying to minimize the amount of area we have to clean up. My shirt and shorts where obvious causalities but the pillow and couch made it through untouched, huzzah! So after putting on some clean shorts we gave Ripley a bath and started over on the whole clothing bit. Freshly dresses we headed out to Babies’R'Us for some Ripley provisions and some odds and ends that we of course came across in the normal shopping travels. We did get one cool item a pacifier leash made by a company called BooginHead, it’s the only one I’ve ever seen that would basically work on ANY pacifier. Plus the name didn’t hurt either, great find by Kellie who was on a mission to find the right leash as to not loose the two pacifiers that work well at calming the tiny but fierce Ripley.
 War for Cybertron, get it. After Babies’R'Us we got to lunch with James & Masako (told you we’d see ‘em soon!) at La Parilla in Ashley Park. After lunch we strolled Ashley Park in the rain and visited a few shops there paying off my copy of War of Cybertron at Gamestop, a visit to Computer Advantage for some Mac drooling, and then Kellie hit up Dillard’s to get a pair of flip flops. James & Masako had to take off to get to their baby sitting gig for his brother so Kellie, Ripley, and I hit up the Barnes & Noble where I found something outside my wheel house: Bone Shaker by Cherie Priest, I’ll let you know how it turns out.
 Mama, where's my bottle? Then our happy family headed out in a sprinkle of rain to Target to pick up a few items we knew they had on the cheap. Walking in the rain Kellie says idlely, “I enjoy walking in the rain, it’s refreshing.” another verbal confirmation of my wife marching to her own drum and just one more reason I love her. Only we spent a very brief, and I do mean brief period in Target cause Ripley awoke and demanded a changing and a bottle. So we tried to hurry through the store to the front before she lost it, but we didn’t make it. So we checked out in a hurry and sprinted home to take care of Ripley before settling in and catching up on some television we’d missed during the week. We knew Sunday would be a busy day so we turned in a bit early to catch up, luckily Ripley agreed with our decision too.
 Relaxin' on the Boppy. Sunday came about with a handful of Father’s Day cards which almost made me cry, almost! Then we headed out for a Father’s Day breakfast with my Dad and the rest of my Family at IHOP. My brother Johnathon gave me a book The Passage by Justin Cronin and a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble which was awesome cause I’m a cronic reader. The family parted ways for the most part but Kellie and I went to visit my sister Stacy’s house and hang out a while with her, Laurie, Dad, and Becky. Stacy made a cookie cake on the fly and before long we were all cat napping between conversations! Was a good time to just relax before we took my Dad out to Tokyo Steak house for dinner. Overall the day was great weekend and a fantastic first Father’s Day! Thank you everyone for the Father’s Day and Birthday wishes and for making the weekend awesome!

Today I turn thirty years old. I’ve spent some time reflecting on the events that have occurred in my life time that I have been actively aware of and why none have seemed terribly impressive they could be but the beginning of so much later on down the road. Then I spent some time thinking of how I’ve personally lived my own life and I think back to all the decisions I’ve made sometimes on a whim that in hind sight were true crossroads to where I am today. It made me dig up a list of things I had learned thus far on my Live Journal which is now gone, so I’d like to republish that list and add a few things to it…
- Never forget Family, you only get one of these and as annoying or hair pulling as they can be sometimes they are yours and they’re all you got in this crazy world until you start one of your own.
- Love. Open yourself to others and share your affections, it’s not always easy and often gets you some hurt feelings but it’s worth the effort when someone returns the same.
- Take risks, within reason. It never hurts to live on the edge just make sure you don’t go over, think it through and you’ll always come back in one piece.
- Be kind to others. You never know someone’s whole life story, so be nice even if they are a complete asshole.
- Never bet against the house, but always be ready to play the odds. Certainly the game is rigged and you’ll never make a fortune but sometimes the long shot is something you might just have to take to be able to sleep well that night.
- If your going to do it, go big. Never half ass anything, anything worth doing is worth doing in excess!
- It never hurts to be over prepared. Don’t under estimate something to fail at the most appropriately inconvenient moments.
- Friends are important, cherish each of them.
- Never settle in a relationship. You can find that one in million, your other half, your soul mate so don’t settle for Mr./Mrs. Right-Now. The journey is worth the reward, trust me.
- Trust is something earned and given, it isn’t something you should tread on lightly either.
- If you don’t participate you can’t gain anything worthwhile. The sum of our life is our experiences, so shying away from something is only limiting yourself.
- Be Happy. Sure there are lots of ‘reasons’ to be unhappy but really look around and note what you have not what you don’t. You can work on getting everything your missing but make sure you focusing on the reason your unhappy and not the things you ‘need’ to make you happy. Someone else will always have something shinier than you have but trust me they aren’t any happier they’re just as worried about the next person’s shiny stuff.
I can’t think of a reason to edit any of those but I have a few I’d like to add…
- Becoming a parent is the most exciting and life changing thing you can do in your life, it will also be the scariest thing you ever do.
- Your wife will always tell you when your right and make sure you know when your wrong.
- Patience is a virtue, but it’s not always easy to come by and you cannot buy it off the shelf.
- Sleep is a fine recreational activity for adults in contrast babies and small children find it a waste of time.
- Never forget to tell your significant other you love them every time you part that way it’s always the last thing you say to them.
- Arguments are not a competition cause no matter who thinks their right in the end there are never any winners.
- At the end of the day it’s you and your family everything else is just to come home to them.
That’s my editions for thirty and even though I’ve been doing a lot of living I honestly feel like I’m just really getting started. So here’s to my thirties and all the wonders, trials, and surprises they’ll bring!
“May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.”
