Seasons

Baseball season is pretty much over.  The NLCS and ALCS are getting ready to start, but my Cardinals aren't involved (and neither is anyone else in the NL Central...).  On the other side of the spectrum, the Miners have been done for almost a month now.  I'm usually somewhat saddened by the transition from summer to fall, and baseball season to football season.  I love baseball.  This year, however, I find myself wholeheartedly welcoming the change.  This summer was a bit draining, moreso than last summer even.  I'm not sorry to see it go.  I'm enjoying spending more time with Chelsea, though she is busier now with school, work, and myriad activities.

My distaste for politics has ascended to another level, however.  I'm ready for winter already, if only for the end of Election Season.  Can I write in my vote for Dwight Schrute, the no-nonsense candidate America needs?

I love Macs, but...

...I'm still forced to live as a closet PC-user.  Quite literally.

Hoos Coming for Dinner?

Mrs. Hatter was gone at Super Summer last week, leaving me all by my lonesome. I was fortunate enough, however, to have several opportunities (when not at work) to spend time with some friends that I don't get hang with nearly enough. So, wherever you are out there, thanks fellas.

Tim Challies has a friend that makes homemade jewelry, and I happened upon her site last week. One of her pieces struck me as one that Chelsea might like. So, I procured this one-of-a-kind necklace for her. Fortunately, she likes it! See?

Isn't she pretty? I'm glad she's home.

Achtung!

A quick addendum to today's thoughts: I love my wife! She's great!

Firefox 3 Download Day

Today is Firefox 3 Download Day, an international effort by the Mozilla Corporation to have as many unique downloads of the brand-spankin'-new final release of the third iteration of the popular open source browser as possible. Prepositions, anyone?

So, chuck Internet Explorer and download Firefox. It's better. For those belonging to AppleNation, the Firefox team has apparently spent much time and effort on Firefox 3 for Mac in order to improve performance and, perhaps more importantly, the look and feel of Firefox for OS X, which hasn't felt like a Mac program in the past. I am, however, still a fan of Camino, the Mac only browser built on the same Gecko engine used by Firefox. It's limited in some respects, though, so we'll see what end up with for my everyday browsing.

You may now return to your regularly-scheduled avoidance of this "blog."

Hijacked!

Hello all, Chelsea here. I am hijacking Kyle's blog because he has no time to post anything and won't for a few weeks. So, to show him that I love him, I'd like to post one of his favorite You Tube videos.

This little guy likes to write songs, and we like to watch videos of him. This is Kyle's favorite. I hope you all enjoy as much as he does!
