A Picture Says Stuff

Recently I stumbled upon a new hobby I didn't know that I was interested in; Photography. Using our tax returns this year, Colette and I decided that we would get a new camera. We've had a Canon PowerShot SD750 that has been treating us quite well. Unfortunately while point and shoot cameras are great for every day family memories there are a lot of things that they cannot do. As a result we got ourselves a Canon EOS Rebel XS. For those keeping score that is a DSLR camera.

What's that humming noise?

A couple of days ago, our overlord in the clouds Google released Buzz onto the unwashed masses, and then the next day everyone else. I'm sure that anyone who bothers reading this has already had some experience with Buzz so I won't bother explaining what it is. What it does though is bridge even more gaps win the Google suite of cloud based applications.

So far I'm really enjoying Buzz. I get to see pictures and stories that friends find interesting, chat and email is stuck right in there. You can even have entire conversations that friends from any side of the party can comment on. Essentially it's all the stuff I like about Facebook, without having to actually go to another website.

I'm looking forward to how Wave and Voice are going to fit into all of this

It's been a hard weeks days, or something.

Here's where I'd comment on how long it's been since I updated. 

Now that that's out of the way, the wife and I have decided to start dieting again. "Again?" you say, yes again. Last summer we were doing the diet thing and it was working very well. Decided to opt for the eat less not different method and replace snacks with healthier alternatives. It saves on money on the long run because you're less likely to eat fast food which is bad, m'kay. I figured it was time to get into a shape that wasn't round. Thought it would be good to be around to see my kids get into financial trouble and make life changing mistakes of their own. They'll need somewhere to crash.

So far it's been going well. Been at it a week now and haven't "fallen off the whores" just yet. Have been utilizing a website called LiveStrong.com to track calories and fitnesses which helps keep things in perspective. I've also been taking a multivitamin and drinking more water, so my nails and hair are full of life and I have to urinate every half hour. I'll be a cougar in no time!

Zoey is starting to form more and more sentences that actually mean something rather than her thinking they mean something. The boy is almost walking already, which is a lot earlier than Zo started walking. I figure once he's 2 he'll be borrowing money and trash talkin' fools on the 'court. He's already flirting with waitresses and teenagers at the mall. I need to get him a shirt that says "Daddy's Little Player".
