So what’s going on…
Well as expected the year has been busy although January seems like it has been here forever. I have been wanting to be able to ride my Vespa more but it’s just too cold in the morning to take it to work so I am looking forward to temps warming up a little so I can hit the road. Heck I’d really like it I had time after work to just explore the valley some and just ride, but alas too much work to do! Maybe I’ll try and make it happen soon just so I can de-romanticize it from my mind. I REALLY need to pick up a new Mac. If Apple would hurry up and release a new Mini, then that would get my purchase, if not might just hold out and pick up a Macbook. The main problem is feature creep. If i just go for the Macbook, then the Macbook Pro is far above...
New Owen Clan Member – Happy the WonderBeagle
So we got a dog. My aunt Karen had called my mom and said they had a Beagle puppy come into the shelter and asked if she knew of anyone who might be interested.

Still feeling under the weather…. but going into work
Still not feeling 100% but sucking it up and going into work. Bleh.
Traveling
Sarah and Brynn are currently in North Carolina visiting Sarah’s grandparents and other family out that way. So I am bacheloring it up. Thought it would be more fun than it actually is. House is quiet and kind of lonely but I am getting a lot of stuff done. . I working through ripping my entire DVD collection (300+ DVDs) to my media server for streaming to the living room via the wonderful AppleTV. The beauty of it is that the AppleTV now supports 5.1 surround sound, so, with the right settings I get a great looking movie that I can playback on my AppleTV with 5.1, and my iPhone with 2 channel AAC! Oh and this weekend my buddy Andy (maybe Mike too?) is/are coming over for some recessed lighting installation. Should be good times maybe somebody will even...
The Magic Castle
Spent last evening at the Magic Castle with various members of the Mackintosh family and my own. Awesome night! One of the most hilarious and best magic tricks I have see was performed by Matt Marcy I won’t go into too much detail but let’s just say it involved a power point presentation and cards. We also saw at least 2 famous faces: Dr. Demento And Neil Patrick Harris All in in all it was a fun night made all the better by sharing it with some quality company.
New template for the site
So the hobbit template was 10 shades of awesome but had some issues rendering stuff properly so I switched to this new template which I really dig. Hopefully have some more time to customize it but hope you like it as well. The photo portion is now working great so feel free to check out all the pics we have posted.
