Happy New Year to ya.

Happy New Year.

Baby likes to Boogie

Vlog number 3. Jasmine loves these musical "stress buttons" Erika got for me a while back. She's just a little dancing machine. I caught some on video one day and wanted to share it here. For some reason the right edge is getting chopped off, so I recommend double clicking to watch at youtube.

Jasmine's Birthday Vlog

Vlog number 2! Featuring Jasmine, Caleb and an unfortunate incident with a Mocha. Enjoy.

The First Time

For some reason I thought it would be a fun idea to attempt producing a vlog.

It started when I tried to capture Jasmine in one of her funnier states. I took several video clips then realized I needed to stitch them together. The next thing I know, I'm throwing together the random blabbing that I did in between Jasmine clawing at my face and attacking the camera. It took longer than I figured it should to get used to the software, butI kept hacking at it. Wouldn't you know it, I blew almost two hours on this "lesson".

Since I spent so much time on it (sad, isn't it?) I thought I should publish it. Otherwise, it really will have been a waste of time.

Booty Shakin'!

Jasmine loves the Dragon Tales show on PBS. We record it every day because we get so much mileage out of the show during the day. If she's in a bad mood, this song will cheer her up. She usually has some sort of new dance move to show us in the mornings. This video was taken first thing in the morning, just minutes after she had woken up. It's never to early to dance, I guess!

The Jasmine Show

Jasmine is growing up quickly. For us, it is easy to overlook how much she changes over such short periods of time. So, we wanted to get a few videos up for family members to check out. Jasmine's 1st birthday is right around the corner on November 22, 2009. Can you believe it?

And then it was fall...

Wow. Another summer has come and gone. Many lasting memories were made and several blogs went unattended. Were I trying to actually make money with this blog, I'd be in serious trouble. Fortunately, this is more of a family journal.

I've kept busy writing reviews for Digital Trends magazine. Two reviews I published have been quoted by Klipsch and are making it to their website for promo purposes. The Klipsch HDT 500 home theater speaker system and their amazing little ipod dock, the iGroove SXT. Check them out here and here. I also got the chance to audition some AMAZING headphones from Sennheiser. The $1400.00 HD800 headphones are a bit pricey, but I dare say that you get what you pay for. Here's that review. I'll be publishing much more and, as I do, I'll link to them here and at my gadgetdaddy blog (coming soon)

When I'm not writing, I'm usually cooking, cleaning or taking pictures and video of Spencer and Jasmine. I'll share some of those videos here via youtube and will post photos, too.

Good to be back, ya'll!
