Was at the hospital for about 5 hours today. Tiffany went in for her 38 week exam, and the doctor was a little concerned so Tiff had to go for an ultrasound. Turns out everything is ok, the baby is just a little further along than the doctor expected. He really could come at any day now. I know Tiffany and I are really axious to see him for the first time. It must be hell carrying all that extra weight around like that. He also moves all the time as well. Hopefully he will be here sooner rather than later.
Added a new photo of a sad looking house to the images section. Been adding a few reviews a night to the Zaurus section zaurus.cyberphreak.com
It is amazing to think that I could be a father by Father’s Day. Tiff has been huring as her body is changing shape to get ready for birth. The worst thing is, she doesn’t know what is normal and what is bad, since she has never done this before. Any bets when he will be born?
Went to the doctor and the baby is doing just fine so far. He is getting really big in there. Tiff is alreaqdy dialated 1 cm so far. After nextWednesday, he is full term and can come out at any time.
On the technology front, I bought a Targus Universal wireles keyboard for use with the Zaurus. I am typing this blog entry using it right now. The typing speed is just a tiny bit slower than a full size keyboard, but much faster than the integrated trhumb keyboard. The thumb keyboard is great for some data entry, but not what you want to type the great American novel on. I’ll post a picture later to show off my little tiny laptop.
Here is the picture:
I got a good chuckle this morning reading the paper. In Chicago they began ticketing people speeding through construction zones using an automated camera system. People are all up in arms about this. Lets see, most people when told their phone records, e-mails, and web searches are being monitored, say as long as it is for national security, are fine with it. As long as you do nothing wrong, who cares if they look. Well, on our nations highways, why is it any different?
Here is a sobering fact, more people are killed in traffic accidents EVERY MONTH as were killed on 9/11. So, who are the real terrorists? Irresponsible drivers kill a lot more people, from all walks of life, in every state, county, city, town, and village than Islamic terrorists ever have. If you are going to complain about one form or government interference, complain about all of them. In this case, the government really is trying to keep us safe, by making us follow established laws.
Another stupid thing in the news is the debate over homosexual marriage. Why are we wasting time with this issue? Do 2 men getting married make me any less married? Not really. I make a comitment to my wife, and it is for life, no matter what the courts or congress decide. We have bodies stacked in the streets in Iraq, New Orleans is still in shambles and we are debating if 2 people who probably love each other can get married. Give me a break.
One Man’s…
They say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, now I have a good example of it. Two nights ago, coming home from Tiffany’s appointment, she spotted a computer case in the alley. Well, I backed up, and it turns out it was a whole computer. I picked it up, brought it in, and opend up the case, expecting the worst. Turns out, it is a Pentium II, 333Mhz, with 64 meg of RAM! The only thing missing was the hard drive. I had a spare windows computers for playing games on, an old PI, 200, so this is a definite step up. I pulled 32 megs off of it, so now the junk picked machine has 96 MB of RAM, a newer netowrk card and a hard drive Tiff bought me a 30 gig drive off of ebay for peanuts, so now I will have a great secondary computer to play with. Most people don’t realize, unless you are a gaming nut, any compter built in the last 5 years will suit them just fine for everyday appplications.
