Js Trip Log - Day One

Hey all. Jro is sending me constant updates on her trip, so I thought I'd post them here. Hope you're having a great trip sister!

Hey. We arrived last night in Seattle, and got to the airport quickly. I did my hair at the terminal, but by the time we boarded the plane it was frizzy and screwed up.

So we sat down prepped for the long flight, video ipod in hand. The lady won't give us extra peanuts, and there are a bunch of stupid old magazines to read. Rro won't even fork over for a soda, so all we have is little bottles of booze. Now he's half-drunk and belligerent - I thought that was my job.

Did you hear about that squirrel that went crazy on that US flight? Man, if that was me I would never fly again. Crazy squirrels.

Anyways, excited, we'll be there soon. Sixteen hours soon.

Spring camping at Evans Lake

So we went on our third camp this weekend at Evans Lake. It was
awesome as always - Evans Lakes is beautiful, and Mark runs a great
camp.

It's usually quite rainy, but the sun was out all weekend.
Unfortunately the wife was a bit sick, and we had to leave early. Who
brings a one month old baby to camp anyways?

One of my favourite moments was sitting by the water with little D
talking about life, nature and the mysterious underwater Galactapus.

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.

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.
