Josiah Laughing at 3 Months

Carla was playing with Josiah on the floor and he was talking and laughing. I love it!

Paypal’s Security FOB

Yes this has been reviewed multiple times (here) as well as talked about on one of my favorite podcasts Security Now (transcript), but I just had to let the people who look at my blog (all 8 of you lol) how great it is. Here is a picture of it:

This hangs on my keychain and has a button that when I press on it gives me a 6 digit number which I can then use to log into paypal.

In fact I just used it to login to paypal to help my buddy Matt get his Dad a new wii at http://www.mydadneedsawii.com/. Please check it out and donate a dollar or two.

So here are the steps to using the Paypal Security device:

1) Goto http://www.mydadneedsawii.com/
2) Click on the Donate button on the right
3) Enter an amount (ie $5) and click Update Total
4) Enter your paypal email and password
5) Then instead of logging you in you are presented with a box to enter your 6 digit security code from your Paypal FOB.

So that is it. Pretty simple and makes your paypal account alot more secure. Check out more on the paypal site.. You also get to use the same key for your eBay login!

Beach Day and Father’s Day

Yesterday we went to the beach with the kids. The Upper Ferry Rd ferry was running so we were able to go over that. Aliza thought going on the “boat” was neat. We then visited a little beach in Nanticoke, MD down Nanticoke Rd. Its a great beach for other kids as the water is warm and shallow with small waves. By the end Aliza was laying in the wake and jumping all around. Here is a video of the day from my wifes blog:

Today is Father’s Day and it was just as good as yesterday but without the kids. Carla and I left the kids after church with the grandparents, went to lunch, took a nap at home (lol), went to the mall, and stopped for starbucks. ALl in all a great day with the wife. Looking forward to a great week this week.

Portal: Installed, finished, I <3

So I finally installed Orange Box that I received for my birthday in March. If you don’t know what Orange Box is click on the amazon link on the right to check it out. I kept hearing everyone rant and rave over a game that comes with the package called Portal. All I have to say is WOW! This game is so awesome. I only intended to check it out and I ended up playing 19 levels. The puzzles were great and the song at the end was awesome. Now all I need to do is play all the Half Life Episodes and finally beat the original HL2. Oh fun :)

Around the Yard

A took the “white lens” out for a spin in the yard. More details on my flickr feed, but here is a quick video of some of the shots I got:

Free Epson Stylus Photo 825 Printer


I was cleaning out a drawer today to make room for all the crap that was on my desk and I found some unopened ink for my old Epson Stylus Photo 325 printer which is in the shed. The printer is perfectly find and I would still be using it if it wasn’t for the fact that 1) Carla won’t let me keep more than one photo printer downstairs 2) doesn’t want more than 3 printers in the house and 3) I bought an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 (see below) It has been collecting dust for the last 6 months or so and I hate to see it keep collecting dust!

Here is how to get this printer for free!
So the first person who posts in the comments below who is also a subscriber to my rss feed will get the printer for free. Pretty simple. You may ask what is the catch? Well you must come and get it :) I’m not up for shipping it to any crazy places. If you on the Eastern Shore of Maryland I might meet you somewhere but otherwise you are out of luck, but feel free to plead your case in the comments if your feeling lucky. Printer includes brand new color and b/w ink still in box, pcmcia cards for direct printing, all original feeders, etc.

If you click on the link to the right you can find out the specs on it. It is a great little printer and if I wasn’t all gung-ho about printing 11×14s I would still be using it to print out 4×6 prints.

Integrity - being a success

I love the NewLife radio show and book series so when I heard that Dr. Henry Cloud, one of the hosts, had written a new book I knew I had to get it. Fast forward to today, months after I got the book for Father’s Day of last year, I started reading the book. I’m only 19 pages into the first chapter, but I can already tell that this is a book for me. The core of this book is in explaining six essential qualities that define being a success. Starting out it explains how being a person of integrity does not in itself alone make you a successful person. Already I’ve learned some things on how to run my business, questions to ask future employee’s references, and much more. I highly recommend this book and I’ll continue posting tidbits I find as I continue my reading.







What am I doing?
@natalie I think @cdharrison nailed it on the head. People will just steal no matter what and unfort. the burden is on the creator to pursue 12 hrs ago
