Emery’s First Snow

Well we went snowshoeing today up on Cypress Mountain. This was Emery’s first time snowshoeing and his first time playing in the snow. He really had a good time and loved playing in the snow.
I added some pictures of him playing in the snow.

Ed and Mary Visit

Ed and Mary were in town the last couple of week. I wanted to share the pictures we took while they were here.
Emery had a blast while they were here. I think grandma and Grandpa did too.
Since Grandma brought Lefsa, Emery got to try some for the first time.

Can you help me discover more music that I’ll like? Well Pandora Can.

Pandora is a unique music service I recently stumbled upon. Pandora allows you to enter the name of a single song or artist, and then it generates a custom streaming music channel based around that artist. Pandora references a massive database created by the Music Genome Project to determine the properties of the song or […]

Wordpress 2.0 “Duke” Released

WordPress just release version 2.0. The new version does not contain much in the way of new features but does contain a major overhaul to the backend. This should allow for some very impressive new plugins and will isolate the datalayer from the logic layers.
I will not be upgrading right away as […]
