Kirsten Standing Up
2008.09.06

Kirsten is standing up now. She still can only get up if she grabs something for support, but she's doing it pretty constantly. Walking is only a matter of time...




Game on! The Girl's Gone Mobile
2008.08.06

Kirsten started crawling today. She's been threatening to do it for a while now, but it seems a light went off. It's more of a slither at the moment, but Kirsten can cover quite a bit of ground now. She's also mastered the art of sitting up on her own. Kirsten likes to demonstrate this in the crib, which is quite a shock when we come get her after a nap. She also has four teeth now. Updated videos in Kirsten's section.

Rockets get Ron Artest
2008.07.29

The Rockets landed Ron Artest for Bobby Jackson, Donte Greene, and a first round draft pick. This is a huge pickup for the Rockets. Artest instantly upgrades their offense. How do you guard TMac and Artest, not to mention Yao? Scola knows how to slide to the basket when his man leaves for the double-team. We've got Barry and Battier to knock down threes. This is a very, very dangerous team. Of course, Ron Artest is also a world-class headcase. I don't like him personally, and he has been a cancer on other teams (see the Indinia Pacers). While I'm a bit leery of this trade, I'm happy about little we gave up to get him and that he's in a contract year and should be on his best behavior. The Rockets are now bona fide contenders for the NBA title with the Lakers, Celtics, and Spurs. I can't wait for next season to start.

Randy Pausch Dies at 47
2008.07.25

Randy Pausch, a professor of VR, died today of pancreatic cancer. He gave a couple of amazing lectures after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I have posted them below. They are long (75 minutes each), but they are powerfully inspirational and are definitely worth watching. I laughed, I cried, and I dreamed. R.I.P. Randy.
