It’s very sad that a man was actually killed by a robotic lawnmower, but it’s also impossible to pass up a story like this without a Terminator reference.

… courtesy of Michael Bay’s blog and some GIMPshop work by yours truly.
All images are widescreen 1280×800 jpg format, character models only on black backgrounds. Unfortunately I just haven’t found a way to make Starscream, Megatron, and Bumblebee look any good in a wall paper ratio based on the original images.
If you don’t have a widescreen display most of these will work well enough if you set your wallpaper preferences to “center” the image, or you can check out GIMPshop at the link above and crop it to a different size.
Obviously all original images here are copyright Hasbro and Michael Bay, and if either of them have a problem with minimalist high rez huge robot wallpaper sweetness please leave a comment and I’ll be happy to send them to you to host on your own server, or delete, or whatever.
If anyone wants to link to these please link to this page and not the zip file directly. Bandwidth thieves suck.
While you’re at it, be sure to check out the HD-tastic trailers.
EDIT: We finally saw the movie last night, and it was incredible beyond words. Seth’s favorite bot was Frenzy, so I whipped up this wallpaper for him.

Mother’s Day 2007
So far my favorite Jenny pregnant picture. Years from now when I look back on this time this is how I want to remember it.
Yesterday I arrived at work, ran a kernel update on my Ubuntu workstation, and started introducing myself to a batch of new hires who were just starting their first day at the office. Training means I’ll be working with them a lot in the future, so I try to break the ice early.
Jason Bryant started with this group, so he needed a little less deicing than others. He asked when Jen is due, and I told him it could basically be any time. Once you get past the 36-week mark the OB’s consider the baby fully developed and will not stop labor if it happens. We joked about how I’m basically on baby call now.
About ten minutes later that call came. I’m not going to be super lame here and put the more tag after that last sentence. It’ll go after the next one, and in case you don’t want to read the whole story: No, the “fruit of my loins” so to speak was not born yesterday. I wish he’d hurry it up a little though

Forget touch screens, multi-location tracking interfaces, and flipping transparent cubes around.
This is the best interface you will ever see.
1-click!

Like many other people, I like the color blue.
I hope everyone else can deal with it
The site is now using iTheme by n. design studio.
Items on the right side can be minimized with the toolbar buttons and dragged around and reordered using your mouse. I’m also trying out the Wordpress widgets which are now built-in to Wordpress 2.2.
I believe the technical term for all this eye candy is “snazzy.” I could be wrong.

Finally…the Ro…no, that doesn’t quite work…stealing catchphrases is kinda lame, especially when the one yer stealing appears on t-shirts…
Anyway…seeing that Jay finally updated this place reminded me that I too can saturate your consciousness with my babble, so since I’m not totally sober, I will…
Being the big brother in any scenario involving a baby rules…
Even though the song’s kinda catchy…the reality of the situation is that you should never “wish they all could be California girls”…
We really need to start updating this thing more than once every 50 days or so…
Everything supposedly happens for a reason…
Why don’t we usually know those reasons?…
By now…is there anyone who doesn’t know smoking’s bad for you?…
That’s all for now…I’ll do better next time…

I totally fail at updating this site.
‘Nuff said.
So now that that’s out of the way, I guess updates are in order.
The awesome and mighty power of the baby belly is still accumulating energy and has already acquired an astonishing amount of stuff. Crib, stroller, mattress, changing mattress, oodles of onesies, blankets and cloths, multiple portable cribs, (take a breath) bouncers, car seats, toys, bottles, pacifiers, travel bags, hats, mittens, diapers, wipes, wipe warmer, swaddling clothes, hoodie blankets, baby bath tubs, socks, overalls, safety locks, bassinet……….
I’m done trying to remember of all of it.
We’re now at the point where the birth could start at any time, and there’s a lot of camera hardware waiting to watch this little guy grow up.
And you’ll see it. Prepare yourself!
