At times, I am still surprised these days at the little things I notice that might not be what I always thought they were. You would think I would stop being surprised when so much of what I thought was essential has become something I don’t even think about anymore. But there are still moments….

I had heard through many websites and other places about the movie detailing the rise of Apple Computer and Microsoft. It is a sort of documentary, but more like a movie? Found a copy (on VHS, which was weird) at the Library, and watched it last night with Jen. There were some strange parts, but…

I have another blog where I detail the daily goings on in the Campbell home… I’ve been pretty good at keeping up. But the past two days were COMPLETELY INSANE. So, I posted a (rather lengthy, and yet somehow, not all inclusive) version of events at that blog site. It’s worth the read, perhaps, so…

The other day, Apple released software called Boot Camp that allows you to run Windows (and OS X) on a Mac. That was cool. This may be cooler? It’s virtualization software that will allow you to run several platforms… without rebooting. Check it out.Macworld: News: New software lets Intel Macs run Windows sans rebooting

This morning I got up to go play basketball, as is my Wednesday morning custom. Today was different, or course, as it was my first time back in the gym since badly spraining my ankle two Wednesdays ago. And really, when I got out of bed this morning… I was quite surprised at how good…

I spent this afternoon working on the covers of my two soon-to-be-published books. I had some ideas floating around my head, and got a little creative boost somehow, so I figured I’d put some other things aside and tackle that project. I was trying to design the covers to reflect the titles of the books….

I awoke this morning with a song in my head. As a parent of young children, I’m not ashamed to admit that every once in a while, I’ll have a Wiggles song stuck in my head. 🙂 So as I was showering (with the songs still stuck in my head) I thought it might be…

A day or two ago, after I gave Ian some behavioral instructions, I noticed that he tends toward obeying the “letter of the law” as opposed to the heart of the instructions. Many times if I give him a positive instruction, he will do it… but in his own way. Or, if I give him…
