So where did technology get us—back to the old days? Using sails to move the big ships is becoming popular again, how green.

If you’ve every seen the remake of Night Rider and dreamed of the day of a “smart windshield” then you’ll love this mocked up image illustrating an augmented smart windshield. (Found on Augmented Reality Smart Windshield | Mobile Inc.)

Isabelle moments after she was born
I can’t believe in about 10–11 weeks we will have another child in our family (gender is still unknown). Due on Lisa and I’s tenth wedding anniversary, WOW!
I’m pretty excited about the new addition but I’m completely FREAKING OUT about the impact it will have on us. For starters we need to get a new vehicle—we’re thinking of maybe getting a Suburban but we just don’t have the funds. Then there is all the stuff we gave away because we thought we were finished (i.e., changing table, swing, etc.). Next there is the huge expense of diapers (lions) and wipes (tigers) and formula—if breast feeding doesn’t go well (bears), oh my!!!
Don’t forget about the lack of sleep and how that increases the stress levels in all the other areas of life. I’m hoping work will be flexible with me for the first couple of months until we can all get in to a rhythm.
Nonetheless, I’m sure will be fine. God has blessed us with healthy children already and believe-it-or-not we’ve also been able to survive financially (thus far and one paycheck at a time; we’re also reducing our debt instead of spending). Even so, we haven’t been able to take a vacation in ten years or spend some good quality time as a family doing fun things like camping for more then a night.
One positive outcome—we’ll be able to empty nesters at a much younger age in comparison to all of our friends.

It’s been a tough few weeks for me. I thought and felt I was strong enough to conquer it all but somedays you just can’t win even Chuck Norris had his moments of defeat:
Between work, school, family and other responsibilities I’m having a hard time—I could use a break.

Quick update. I’ve removed all of my daily twitter entries and thinking about removing all of the weeklies too only because Twitter stores it all and I should be able to search any of it on http://search.twitter.com/search.
