New Baby Brandner - Baby T

Well, he's almost 24 hours old now. Pictures are at http://picasaweb.google.com/brandner

Yesterday at 9:54am our third little one "Baby T" was born. He was a big one, 9 lbs 7 oz, and he's awesome.

The delivery was pretty quick. Out of the house at 5:30, checked in before 7. I grabbed a coffee after 8:30 and by the time I got back S was headed into heavy labour. An hour later and he was born.

He's beautiful, making all sorts of neat noises. We love him (of course) and it's been funny trying to remember how to care for a baby.

The other two are excited, emotional, and seemingly concerned as to how this baby brother will affect their life.

Well, my coffee break's over. Back to baby and mom.

What would Google be like before Information Technology

People who know me know that I really like Google and Google's services. I ran across these via the Google Operating System blog. It's really fun to imagine what Google would have been like before we all had access to the Internet.






True "Question Desk" from 1924:









Fake Google from 1960:











Some people remember calling their local library help desk to get answers to questions. I remember going through big encyclopedias in the library. Funny to think that we all have this information at our fingertips now.

JRo Volume One coming soon...

"Jro - Tell It Like It Is" volume one is on it's way very soon. A quick two minute video with some JRo ramblings.

We'd love some feedback and video ideas. Stay tuned.

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday to me! Thanks for the e-cards and messages everyone!

A friend sent this around - significance of the number 33.

One of the important facts:

A chicken in the background of the cartoon show "The Simpsons" has the number 33 as its wing.

And:

Canada's population is 33 million.

Transformer and Halo, together in one place

This is neat. A Halo mod for Transformers from eBay on GeekDad
Perhaps I should say "Halo, Star Wars and Transformers together in one place"!
It's based on one of the Star Wars Transformers (I have many, but not that one) referred to as Clone Commander Cody.
