Mobile Picture Monday: Airplane Face

Jul 12, 2010 A Good Laugh, Family and Friends, Short and Sweet

Before taking a flight a few weeks ago we took the kids to a restaurant that is also on the flight path near the airport. We sat in the window and watched planes take off and land. At one point a 767 flew by the window, thundering and massive. The two year old shook with excitement and had the funniest expression of shock. We called it his “Airplane Face”. And, today it is a face he does on demand. When on the same trip the pilot allowed the two boys into the cockpit he was happy to provide them with a demonstration of this face. I didn’t get that on camera- but here is his Airplane Face.

New Years Resolutions – A Quarterly Review

May 1, 2010 A Good Laugh, Family and Friends, Random Thoughts

I started out the year with an incredible list of “to-do’s”. I wouldn’t call them resolutions, because those aren’t a part of my belief system. Well, perhaps the truth is that I have never been terribly good at keeping them. So this year, I decided I would have “objectives”, and even looked up tracking calendars and considered sharing a Google Calendar with a friend so that we could keep each other in-line.

So, what was on that list.

Lose weight ( I will not tell you how much, do not ask).
Read a book a month.
Write a blog post every week

There may have been others – but let’s review how well I did.

Lose weight
The intention was to join a gym and go at lunch hour twice a week. Then go once on the weekend. I have yet to join the gym. Why? – lunch time at work is spent working.

Read a book a month
This should have been easy – I have a snazzy new Kindle and about 50 books i haven’t read on it. I have finished Tribes, and half of Linchpin. (Yes, I appear to be on a Seth Godin trip).
Why have I sucked the big one on such an easy task? Night time is for watching my PVRd shows (Lost, Lie to Me and Law and Order) and ummmm working.

Write a blog post every week
See above.

So chalk January, February, March and part of April up to bad organizational skills, an unfair workload, and an obsession with keeping my inbox under 50 emails – and let’s move on. The plan is – i have my blog live again and the summer opens up opportunities of sitting in the sun with my book as the kids play freely in the yard. As for the gym…well I might need more motivation for that. Perhaps, a first step will be taking the Wii Fit out from under the coffee table.

Books. Gifts. Goats

I don’t know if this is a new sign – or I am just noticing it for the first time. I thought it was “Indigo Music and Books” – but they have the right to change their tagline.

indigo

However, this is just weird.

Books – check (picked up Trust Agents by Chris Brogan and Julian Smith and Six Pixels by Mitch Joel).

Gifts – check (picked up a gift certificate for my sons teacher).

Kids -didn’t see any for sale there. Couldn’t they just say “Toys”? Books and Gifts will cover any other children’s products they sell.

How scr%$ed are we?

Mar 21, 2009 A Good Laugh, Internet General, Politics, Short and Sweet

While Obama is pushing net neutrality and reversing Bush’s stem cell research restrictions in Canada the CRTC is spending months analyzing the New Media and net neutrality issues and it turns out our Science Minister might not believe in evolution.

Are we soon going to want to move South?
