Can't wait to see...

Yeah, had to mention this. Less than a month to the transformer movie. If you haven't seen the full trailer, check it out on the website transformersmovie.com.

Freaking awesome.

My Awesome Son...

Okay, I don't want to make everyone sick of me bragging about my son - so that's why I haven't really written much about him. I know he's awesome, but I also know other people sometimes get sick of hearing the awesome stuff he's been doing lately. But I had to share this. So we go in for his checkup this week.

His head size, can't remember the actual number, but it's about average for his weight. His weight...well, it's up to almost 13 and a half pounds, which is about in the 75th percentile. So he's eating healthy, right? But wait, there's more! Yeah, his height. He clocked in at almost 26 and a half inches - for a ten week old?! They recorded that as >97%. What does that mean? Well, my wife found a little chart on the internet which has this pretty little rainbow to display the growth curve. The lowest color being the shorter, slower growing babies, the middle the average growing babies, and the highest color the fastest growing babies. Well, he started in the middle - just average. But then, instead of following the little "rainbow path" like everyone else, he just took off running for the sky - literally. He busted out of the rainbow like a five year old after chocolate.

That's my boy!

Lady in the Water movie...

Well, my wife and I haven't been able to get out to the movies much since the baby came. Okay - not at all. And we really hadn't gone much in the months preceeding it because, as most fathers know, when a woman is in the later stages of pregnancy, the baby pushes against her bladder, making it smaller... need I say more?

Anyways, we were given "Lady in the Water" as a birthday gift (for me!) and we actually got to sit down and watch it (we were only interrupted about 8 times by lil Keaton - I think it only took us 3 hours to watch a 1.5 hour movie... ;-).

But, despite all that, I greatly enjoyed the movie. I think I just enjoy M. Night Shamalayan's perspective and how he writes and stuff. It was a different movie - not quite the same as the Village (which we both loved). But I enjoyed it and highly recommend it! (probably not for elementary aged children...)

Stephen Lawhead's latest...

As some of you know, Stephen R. Lawhead is my favorite author (right behind him are C.S. Lewis, Ted Dekker, Isaac Asimov...and then a few more I won't bore you with). Well, his latest trilogy is covering the Robin Hood myth. The first book, Hood, I got as soon as possible and literally consumed it within two nights (we're talking probably less than five hours total reading time - I was flying!). You can check out my thoughts on it here. But I recently found out the next book in the trilogy is coming out soon. It's called Scarlet and you can check out Lawhead's page on it here or on Amazon.com. Man I can't wait for this!

Been updating muh website...

Well, I've had a chance this week to do a little updating on my website. On my home page you now can see some articles I've come across in my Google Reader browsing. You can also see what I've been blogging about lately from all three of my blogs. These regularly updating lists are also available as RSS feeds or as live pages on the web (here for my blogs and here for the web articles). You can actually get the feeds from these pages in an RSS reader so you can see what I've been up to lately...

On my website, though, I've also added two new book reviews: The Cross of Christ, by John Stott, and Paradise War by Stephen R. Lawhead. I've also changed my links page, dividing it into two categories, Friend Links and Linux Links. The latter of which is mainly composed of good articles and "how-to's" I'm finding as I try to do stuff in Linux. The former, the Friend Links, are basicly links to friend's blogs and websites. If you'd like for your website or blog to be featured there, please let me know - I'd love to add you!

This summer I'm probably going to be posting at least one book review a week, if not more. And I may be updating other parts of the website in different ways as well. Feel free to browse away and please let me know if you catch a link that doesn't work or if you have any problems on the website.

New Will Smith Movie

yeah, just ran across this on quicktime trailers... Looks awesome!

Have I mentioned how I love almost every movie that Will Smith is in? I haven't seen 'em all - but man does he know how to pick 'em...

fun letter

I came across this through a random article in my Google Reader...But it's one I want to share with everyone. You can check it out here.
