i’m not sure how anyone with a child (or multiple children) EVER leaves their house without renting a uHaul. we decided it was time to head up north for the weekend so some more of the family could meet the latest addition to the family. Joseph got to meet his Great Grandma Tarasewicz and spend an afternoon out at the cabin. He even went on his first boat ride when we took a leisurely ride out on the Bentley (that’s my aunt’s pontoon boat).

the trip was great and the weather was beautiful! it got down to 43 degrees at night and i had the window open… cocoa and i slept like babies (side note: the phrase ’slept like a baby’ has a very different meaning to me now, and i’m not sure it applies to this situation), well, we slept good. it had been a while since we’d been up north to see the family and we were glad we went up to enjoy a nice relaxing weekend.

back to the first statement… we left on frid afternoon, stayed up north on saturday and came back sunday morning. i had a bag, katie had a bag, cocoa had a bag, joseph had a bag and of course we had to pack up a bunch of other accessories… a 48 hour trip and the trunk was full. i don’t know what we’re going to do if we ever have to go on a long trip. cripes!

p.s. i’ve updated the photo gallery and in case anyone is looking for a photo of a delicious pie… check this out. that’s an award winning pie and very scrumptious!

I’ve uploaded more photos into the Joseph photo gallery mostly older ones, but a couple new ones as well. We took some photos of ‘the belly’ along the way… and the first photo we took, January 16th, 2008… let’s just say Katie thought she had a belly then. HA! go check em out or cheat and go directly to my flickr gallery (the photos are the same).

thanks to the interweb, flickrViewer and a little help from some friends, i found a nifty little photo gallery application that incorporates my newly established flickr account and photosets. i will be updating that on a regular basis you can go to the flickr account or you can view the photo galleries on my website at: www.tdotcom.net/about/gallery/

again, thank you to everyone for all the support we’ve gotten. we honestly can’t thank you enough. and to all of our friends who are still waiting to see the lil guy… patience

to all of the awesome family and friends… i would like to extend a great big THANK YOU from my family.

It has been amazing to see the response of family and friends. Katie, Joseph and i are truely blessed.

so my sister and i are sitting in the baby-delivery room and both realize… yeah, we’re geeks. what do you think?

doubly so, cuz we took a couple of these photos

both baby and mommy are doing fine!

today is the day!!! Download FireFox 3! yay

and you can watch the geeks at mozilla scramble to get their site up so people can download the browser that is “all that is man” at www.mogulus.com/air_mozilla

i am such a geek

just a quick update, had another appointment this morning and things are progressing wonderfully. katie has one more week before she goes on maternity leave from work (at which time i’m sure she’ll continue her ‘nesting’)… exciting times at the Tarasewicz household.

update:
i’ve gotten a couple requests for photos… and well, this is what i’ve got so far (katie’ll probably not appreciate it too much), that’s what’s been goin on here and now it’s time for me to go put momma to bed!

i came across this post at just the right time, i used this in a web application that i’ve been working on for PF and am really enjoying the simplicity of the concept. i say thanks Janko!

maybe it’s just the geek in me, but I’m excited about the first full release of firefox 3! and i might just be a part of history… if you feel like you’re the kind of person who might be world record material, read more at the Spread FireFox web site.

I’ve been using the beta and RC1-3s of FireFox 3 (FF3), but a lot of the very useful add-ons that i use haven’t been upgraded for FF3 yet, so i’m very excited for this release, so that the developers can update the add-ons for FF3, especially the theme designers (i miss Noia, it feels so weird with another theme, when it’s my computer).

for those completely lost, firefox is a web browser. a far superior web browser than IE. it’s faster, standards compliant, safer, open source and has the backing of millions if not billions of geeks around the world. the add-ons are extremely useful (especially for a computer geek like myself) and greatly reduces the time it takes to find issues in a website (for the early stages in design and for tweakings towards the end). if there weren’t a handful of stupid websites that actually require IE, i’d completely ditch it. however, i am not so lucky. sign up for the download and prepare to surf like you’ve never surfed before…
