I’ve had all these videos on my phone now forever and I just haven’t done anything with them. Well, I finally started playing around with iMovie and like it a lot. So that means that I might started flooding YouTube and my blog with a ton of crappy videos that no one else will care about except my immediate family. But isn’t that exactly what the internet is for? Too bore the masses with your own uninteresting life?
Back in February, before he could talk or walk, Jayden was running around my mother’s store just having the type of good time that only an 8 month (at the time) could have.
The news is over a month old now, but I just finally got around to pulling the video off of my phone and putting it up on YouTube. As you can see, Lindsay’s 1999 Toyota Corolla “Betsy” went over the 200,000 mile mark on May 17th. Please mind the cheesy song in the background. It was the only decent song on iTunes that had “200,000 miles” in it’s lyrics…
So, I was doing some research on the Gears of War timeline, and the first site I naturally go to was the first game’s Wikipedia page. While there on Sunday December 7th, at 7:45PM EST I see the oddest thing. Apparently, according to Wikipedia, Gears of War likes P in it’s A. It’s on Wikipedia so it must be true.
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!

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.
