Digital Life: A PDF of the LDS version of the Scriptures

For a long time, most of the media that I consume every day has been from an electronic device. The only area where this has not been entirely true is with books, which are not always easily available in an electronic format, and are more difficult to markup on a computer. This is changing now with the availability of some amazing eBook readers and touch screen computers.

Recently, I made the jump to an electronic format for my Continue reading ‘Digital Life: A PDF of the LDS version of the Scriptures’

Digital Life: Going Digital

Ever since digital storage — a.k.a. hard drives — became so cheap that the possibility of putting all the information in my life into that medium became a reality, I have had the goal of making that happen. What exactly do I mean? Well, I would like to have all my pictures, video, documents, books, music, and everything else stored digitally.

National Doughnut Day 2009

Happy National Doughnut Day 2009! The first Friday in June each year has been declared National Doughnut Day, and Krispy Kreme is celebrating the day by giving away free doughnuts!

With two new little girls in the family, Andrew spends a lot of his time either watching the girls get fed, or watching Catherine pump breastmilk to feed the girls later. Not surprisingly, he doesn’t find anything abnormal about pumping himself. At first he needed Catherine to do the sound effects for him, but he has since learned how to do it on his own.

Trip to Nauvoo and Carthage

To celebrate the end of the school year for us, we took a two day trip to Nauvoo and Carthage. It was fun, and the children did a good job not going crazy in the car. Catherine is hopefully going to edit this post some time and provide some of the details of our trip, but for now we have posted some pictures on picasaweb.

The Twins are Laughing

We’ve had some fun the last week or so making Zana and Elira laugh. I think that the first time either of them laughed was while watching Andrew do something funny. Andrew is having a lot of fun playing with them, and he makes sure to kiss each one before he goes to bed at night.

Elira’s first time laughing:

More Twins Video, Now Smiling

OVER 5 MINUTES of video of the twins just laying there being cute! As before, it’s probably boring for most people to watch, except for some people who will probably find it to be great.

Easter Pictures

Catherine took some pictures of the girls, and they came out looking like a photobooth strip. Zana and Elira are now 7 weeks old, and Elira’s cheeks seem to be getting fatter by the day. Zana has been spared somewhat.
