I usually only do 1 post a day, but today is the exception. A very funny Hanukah Song from the Suburban Homeboy, Eric Schwartz. Lyrics here. Make sure you have the sound on. If you have trouble getting to the links, it’s possible the flood of traffic crashed their server.…

I just spoke with a friend of mind, Misha, also a co-worker. He is a Russian Jew who has been living in the US for a few years. He says in Russia, the big holiday of the year is New Years Eve. In Russia, Santa is replaced with Grandfather Frost.…

Last night at 2am, Katie shoved Matt at me, saying, “I need sleep, take him”. So I took him upstairs and walked in a circle with him while he was crying. I tried all my best moves. The pat on the back. The pat on the butt. Singing lots of…

Today, Danny and Lindee are on “Who wants to be a millionaire? – for couples!” Hopefully they will win a million bucks! I’d be happy if they won more than $1,000. Lindy said Danny didn’t practice for the last few weeks, so if they are poor, it will be all…

Jared’s new name should be Echo. Sample conversation: Daddy: Jared, It’s time to get dressed. Jared: It’s time to get dressed? Daddy: Yes. Come on, get your clothes on. Jared: Get my clothes on? Daddy: Yes. Let’s go downstairs now. Jared: We go downstairs now? Daddy: Yes, come on let’s…

I thought I moved to California. 1. It’s 47 degrees outside. 2. There is a ballot initiative which would split the electoral votes of the state to each presidential candidate based on population. (I believe that unless the rest of the country followed suit, and they won’t, then this would…

Bill Johnston just lent me this book. It’s an autobiography of a cryptographer for the English during World War II. Very well written. I find that an autobiography gets an extra star the same way a singer/songwriter gets bonus points versus singers who don’t write. Ethan whacked his mouth on…

So Cingular has this exchange deal where you can send them in your ATT phone (only specific models) and get $150 cash back. So I switched Katie and I to Motorola V220 and V400 phones. Apparently as of Nov. 15, the ATT and Cingular networks have merged and are now…

Ben and Darcie visited. Kara is plenty pregnant. Katie made turkey for Jim/Penny & Ben/Darcie and the rest of us. Katie gave Kara a shower. Leftover turkey redux with the Sauls/Rinaldis/Peters/rest of us. Went up to Moon Mountain and got a tree. Put the bunk-bed together. Michael the beta fish…

Katie and I need to switch from ATT to Cingular. They allow you to break the contract and switch. The plan is slightly better than what we have, but we would get roll-over minutes. We just have to pick phones. My phone doesnt even work right anymore. I cant press…

ESPN, just released this list of sports moments. It seems that Michael Jordon is every fifth entry. Anyway, they missed a bunch of great moments. Like when Jimmy Connors unbelievably beat Aaron Krickstein. It was the most unbelievable match I have ever seen. I was almost crying at the end.…

I purchased the NFL Sunday Ticket through DirecTV. Was this a good idea or a bad idea? I don’t know. But, I do know that I enjoyed watching the Jets on Sunday, BARELY beat the Browns. They are terrible, but they are way better than the local teams. Look in…

Daniel and Lindy visited us this weekend. We had a nice time. Ethan, Jared, Danny and I rode bikes around Baywood for a while. We saw The Incredibles. I think it’s the best Pixar movie to date. They have their headquarters in Emeryville. We saw the movie just a mile…

Uncle Daniel and “soon to be” Aunt Lindy are visiting us from New York today. Ethan and Jared are excited. They also asked specifically about seeing Bapu. I told them, in 2 months we will see them. On the technical side, I have been working on a DOM “super” table.…
