Paddle faster…

…I hear banjo music.
Today was a fun day. I can’t imagine a much better time than paddling the Elkhorn Creek with your beautiful wife, your best buddy from high school and his wife. 4 people, 2 canoes, and the open air. Yessir. Not much better. Well, maybe if the creek had WATER in it! No rain in 3 weeks had caused the creek to drop from its already low summer state an additional 7 inches last week. That made for a lot of portaging and scraped knees, but it was still a great trip, one we’ll definitely repeat once the water level rises. Even got a couple t-shirts before we left.
Jump on over to the Pictures page for a few pics from the trip. Tomorrow’s adventure: taking Liam to the Newport Aquarium! Stay tuned.

iPhone Day: Supplemental

By Drew On July 11th, 2008 in Geek Shiek, Such is Life /

Number 21 in line. They had 20 in stock. Suck.

It wouldn’t have been quite so bad if every one of my coworkers hadn’t gotten theirs. Even the guy who just bought one because the rest of us did. (He actually asked, “What’s 3G?” THIS FROM AN I.T. GUY!!!)

It is, however, of slight amusement that none of their respective 3G iPhones are working yet. In fact, almost none of the iPhones sold today worldwide are working yet. Thanks, crashy iTunes Store. Ah, well. I’ll get my new iPhone 3G eventually. :(

iPhone Day!

iPhone 3GW00t! Today is new iPhone day for Drew. Which is awesome because it’s also iPhone 3G day! And iPhone 2.0 day for Missy! Ooh, and iPhone iTunes remote day! And what the hey, let’s make it iPod touch 2.0 day, as well! So while I go stand in line like a dork at 7 AM, you go celebrate and get some apps!

Tired

By Drew On July 10th, 2008 in Such is Life /

Just thinking about needing a vacation. Far, far away. Used to be able to get in the car and just drive and drive and drive. Current gas prices would get me roughly to Hardin. How about a movie instead?

Man, am I just tired.

Hulk smash!

By Drew On May 21st, 2008 in Such is Life /

Hulk Smash!Man am I sore! So the last few weeks I’ve been hitting the gym with my coworkers every weekday morning at 6:30AM. I’ve also been cutting down on the calories, switched from soda to water (Thank you Crystal Light To Go packs.), and no more snacks at work. Thinkin’ I’m startin’ to look a tad bit sexy. Of course, I now weigh more than I ever have! But whatever. True to form, the wife still doesn’t wanna have anything to do with me. Any other ladies out there looking for a buff-ish geek?
