• Come from?

    This is the third diaper I changed in 90 minutes. Matthew is a poop machine tonight. Daddy: Matthew, where did all this poop come from? Matt: Come from? Daddy: Yes, where did it come from? Matt: Come from? Daddy: Yes, where did it come from? Matt: Come from? Daddy: Yes,…

  • Bad Adult! Bad!

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11993032/ What the hell is wrong with these people? Unreal.

  • You Win Some, You Don’t Lose Some

    Well the results are in, and the Turbotax test did not lose. It actually won by a little. But it didn’t win by enough to justify changing so radically, which would have meant rethinking all of the tests coming up in the next few weeks. It’s a bummer. It was…

  • Jared 4

    Today is Jared’s Birthday. He is 4 years old. Nana already sent a box of goodies. He is excited. His language is so good. He has grown so much, so quickly. Time is whipping past me. I can’t believe the last 11 years of my life. So much has happened.…

  • Happy Meet-iversary!

    11 years ago today I met Katherine Elizabeth Peters in a Bar in NYC. She moved in by summer. We started a company by November. We got engaged and married. Had three babies and moved the California. And moved twice more. She has never let me down. She changed her…

  • First Big Test

    My first big test at Intuit is a new homepage for TurboTax.com. I am very excited and nervous. Take a look at the homepage now. If it has tabs on the left side in blue and gray, then it is the one we are testing. I am very nervous about…

  • Kid Status Update

    Jared: Almost 4. Making all kinds of expressive gestures. Shrugging his shoulders, wrinkling his brow. (Furrowing?) We are not sure where to have his birthday. He wants Chuck E. Cheese, but Katie thinks it might be geared for kids a little older. Jared is throwing a football with pretty good…

  • Funny movie

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=49IDp76kjPw So busy today. But this put a smile on my face.

  • Dubai Ports

    I have been following this strange story about the ports in Dubai. Katie and I agree, we just do not care about this issue. There are other much more important issues on our radar. Who cares if Dubai manages a port? Security is not handled by them. Have you seen…

  • Amusing Lines

    Setup: On NPR they had a story about Iraq. Here is the summary. Outlawed under Saddam Hussein’s rule, a Shia custom that allows a man to marry a woman for a short period of time has become increasingly popular in Iraq since the American invasion. But critics say it’s nothing…

  • Prediction Results

    Not bad, but not perfect. HSX got all of them right except Best Picture. It was funny too, because we had all but concluded that HSX was 100% accurate. Definetely need to figure out what happened. The good news was that I was planning on dong the dishes anyway to…

  • Oscar 2006 Predictions

    Based on the book I am reading, The Wisdom of Crowds, I believe that the Hollywood Stock Exchange will predict every single Oscar winner accurately. Best Picture – Brokeback Mountain Best Director – Ang Lee for Brokeback Mountain Best Actor – Philip Seymour Hoffman in Capote Best Actress – Reese…

  • Amazing Grace

    This morning I played the Ukelele. Amazing Grace, easy song. First Jared sang, then Ethan sang and then Mommy sang. And then we all sang. We were like the Von Trapp family singers. Except without only one person who sang well. Katie keeps saying I am playing 4/4 and the…

  • Crash

    Katie and I recently watched Crash. Katie ad I liked the movie alot. It was a study on people’s motivations and the cause/effect relationships people have. It shows how someone becomes the way they are, especially in irrational moments. However, there was one scene. The one with the little girl.…
