Jayden Visits
On July 17th Jayden’s Great Grammie came up from Florida to meet him for the first time. First, Jayden, Grammie, Great Grammie, Lindsay and I went to the Common Man in Merrimack for some dinner where Jayden proceeded to sleep through the entire meal.

After that we all came back to our place for dessert and some more pictures!

Number Two on Digg.com
On July 13th, for no reason at all, I decided to log on to Digg.com and update my profile. It turned out that July 13, 2005 was the day I had originally signed up on Digg, so it was my three year anniversary. That felt like a pretty lucky day to me, so I decided to post a couple of articles from my voice over magazine site, Voice Overture. That night I posted ‘Don’t Hire Your Family to Voice Over Your Video Game’ and ‘5 Resources For The Pro Tools Beginner’ to the social news site and then thought nothing of it.
I woke up the next morning and it looked like ‘Don’t Hire Your Family to Voice Over Your Video Game’ had about 40 diggs. That in itself was pretty cool because before that I averaged about 15 unique hits per day and now with 40 diggs I had over 50 unique visitors to Voice Overture. It just gave me a three-fold increase in visitors with minimal effort.
Jayden Jeffrey Vasquez
On June 18th, 2008 at 10:01pm my sister gave birth to Jayden Jeffrey Vasquez. He weighed 7 pounds 1 ounce and was 20.5 inches long. Currently he enjoys sleeping and looking grumpy (because the outside world is kinda bright).

New York City Comicon
For my birthday this year Lindsay took me to the geekiest place on the east coast, the New York City Comic Book Convention. It was a stellar time!

I know I’m putting these photos up late, but it’s been pretty wild around here lately. Since we’ve been back from our honeymoon we had the holidays, the flood, buying a house, fixing the new house we’ve bought (more on that at a later time), school, and trying to pack up all of our possessions in time for the move. I had a day off to wait for an insurance agent to assess the damage here at our apartment, so I figured it was the perfect time to put these images up on the interweb.
We had a fun time down in warm Disney World during the cold New England winter. I wont go into our honeymoon too much as you can see all that we did in the pictures. I took a lot more pictures that those found in this gallery, I just need to go through the RAW images and create JPG’s out of them. Once I finish up the rest I’ll be sure to post them all.

Demolition Minus the Fun of a Derby
Dirty exposed bedroom floor
We’ve been sleeping in our living room for the past week now, and it looks like we’ll remain sleeping in here until we move out of this place. Oh well, them’s the breaks I guess.
Our Flood Didn’t Come With Two of Every Animal
Hole in the ceiling
Our tale begins last Tuesday, December the 18th, when water began streaming down the front windows in the hallway’s of our condo building. The carpet right below the windows had a moist squish to them, but at the time not much attention was paid to this. We believed that the condo’s management association, Evergreen Management, would remedy the situation before it got worse. Boy, was that a wrong assumption.
On Friday, December 21st, Lindsay returned home to find water leaking from the ceiling everywhere. After rounding up a few of the neighbors in the building to find out what the extent of this “flood” was does the story start to take shape.

Having only attended two weddings in my life, and with a tinge of bias, I think our wedding was the best wedding ever! The ceremony was beautiful and went off with out a hitch. The reception was a blast, just ask anyone who was there. And the cake. I’ve finally now realized that there should be five sanctioned food groups, fruits and vegetables, dairy, meats, grains and wedding cake. I’m not too keen on grains, so maybe we can shave it back to four food groups.

With a strobe effect of light filling the reception from the flashes of the professional photographer, our own pro-am Stadt, and the point-and-shoot table cameras how is one supposed to get their photographs noticed? Our pip-squeak photog Holly had an interesting way to get her images to stand out, take them from two feet off the ground.
Here is a collection of some of the best shots (the photos that weren’t completely black or of the floor or ceiling) that little Miss Holly took from the day of our wedding.
