Most of them seem a little lame but I am sure there are more in the book then on the site. Why would you buy the book if that were not the case. Maybe we can come up with something for (e:jon) to win.

Guinness Book of what???Tonight I had a cup of coffee at 8PM which is a big mistake. I usually only have it in the morning but tonight I just felt like a cup so I had one. I ended up going to the Guinness Book of World Records site just to look up something. I used to be a big fan of this book as a kid and usually got it every year for Christmas. There is a little intro and then something caught my eye. That's right folks....Gamers Edition!!!

Ultrasound time...Last week my wife and I had our first ultrasound. It was so amazing to watch this little baby move all over on the screen. I could have sat there all day and watched it. I was almost hypnotized. Things are starting to feel more real and that is not a bad thing. It is great to think the someone will soon be depending on me to help them grow and shape their life.
The ultrasound tech was trying to get some measurements and the baby was being difficult (her genes) but after a short break it was more cooperative (my genes).
The facial features are still forming but you can make out the head and body.

There is a place in Williamsville that will do the 3d ultrasound but you need to have a reason for concern to have it covered by insurance. The doctor is Laurel White. I am like 99% positive she does these...

Ultrasounds are both exciting and confusing. It's great seeing the little one move, but trying to make out what's what's is a sorta difficult. And half the time, the thing either looks really evil or looks like an alien. Plus, if you want to know what you've got (boy or girl) the kid can be really obstinate and cross his/her little legs. Maybe some people like surprises, but for me not knowing the sex of the baby drove me nuts (we eventually found out he's a boy. We think).
I wish I could get a 3-d ultra-sound, but from what I understand the nearest place to do that is somewhere in Ohio; in another 3 weeks, it won't matter anyways because the little guy will be out and about.

How exciting! I remember when Chrissy was pregnant with Delaney I used to google "pregnancy X weeks" each week to see how the baby was supposed to be coming along.
Enjoy the ride!

Sick todayI am out sick today. I usually don't take a lot of sick days but today is the 4th day in a row I have had a sore throat and am starting to cough. I hate feeling like you are a walking zombie. Im also trying to not take anything because I don't like medicine.
That's all...
That's all...

Get better. Seems like everyone's been really getting hammered with some illness. I even feel myself getting a little choppy in the throat.

Work work workI feel like everyone is posting about work lately but I kind of need to. Perhaps I just need to hear myself think but lately work has been weird. I have been at Roswell for almost 7 years (April 2nd) and have moved to 3 different positions. I started out at the helpdesk and after 2 years moved to the server team. Two years after that I decided to jump to the network team. Don't get me wrong I love being on the network team. It is something that I really enjoy doing. My job involves everything from wireless, switches, routers and firewalls.
Lately though I feel like I am missing the boat on new technology and concepts. Several years ago I got my Cisco certification (CCNA) and let it expire. I know I know big mistake! I am trying to talk myself into starting the process again. I want to feel excited about diving in and learning again. It has been a while since I have studied outside of work experience. This week I am going to try and get my learn on. I think it's kind of like going to the gym. Once you get in a groove then there is no stopping you.

I've been feeling similar. I feel that since I am a pro web developer on a pro web development team, I need to go "above and beyond". Not sure what that means exactly, other then I feel a need to expand my current skill set.

Changing fast....for the betterI am on the verge of turning 30. My birthday this year falls on Easter Sunday and I can't remember the last time that has happened if at all. Some would probably be freaked out about turning 30 but I am excited.
I was given a card with some money in it from my coworkers on Friday. They all knew I wanted to get a PS3 so I immediately went out and got one along with Rockband. I believe they all secretly just wanted to play it and no buy it themselves :) Needless to say we had a blast. Here are some pics to prove it:
Yours truly on the drums
(e:mrdeadlier) singing
(e:paul) on the drums
(e:enknot) rockin out
On a totally other unrelated topic my wife and I are expecting our first child. We started telling people officially this week which is so much fun. At this point I am a little nervous but I am sure that will go away.
Thank you everyone for coming to my party....it was a great time for me and looks like for everyone else also.

Well done on turning 30 and feeling good about it. I am the same way - for me it won't be a bad day.
And congrats on PS3 and Rock Band! Looks like you guys had a blast.

Congratulations and welcome to the exclusive estrip expectant fathers club. We'll have to teach you the secret handshake at the next meeting.
No, the nervousness doesn't go away, but you do get used to it. In fact, you'll get to the point that you can't remember the time your weren't expecting a baby.

Dude last night was great.. Most fun I've had in quite some time.

I feel old and devious. Thanks Fing. =P
Nevermind, those girls use the word "like" as punctuation when speaking. I hate that.
I found a link on that Guinness site...
:::link:::
Hot chicks talking about gaming. Score.
With that said... I must admit, I'm going to a another LAN party this Sat with (e:mrdeadlier). Woo hoo!
Hmm...
I might be a top runner in highest percentage time wasted in front of a computer. Or maybe person who attended most LAN Parties in his 30s. Also, I think I should get double points for frag'n anyone 1/2 my age. Or maybe I'd win the most times anyone has said "just 5 more minutes" to their spouce.
Wow. If (e:jon) wins this then I would personally know one genuine Guinness Record Holder. Think about the immense clout I would then have!! *drool drool*
\m/ GO (e:Jon)!!! We need you to win this for (e:strip)!! \m/
