Evan Samuel Iwaasa

Well It's late but I've got some time to update and post pictures.

Saturday night around 6PM we were heading out to Coalhurst to a BBQ with all of Dora's family when she informed me she wasn't feeling well. After spending about 1/2hr there, she informed me that I'd better eat my steak quick. 5min later we were on the road.

We arrived around 7:30 and by 8 we were in a delivery suite. Then at 10:09 Evan Samuel Iwaasa entered the world and into our hearts! From the moment he arrived we noticed both similarities and differences from Logan. You can see for yourselves below.

As for the details, he was 7lbs, 21" long, healthy and happy. More pictures and details to follow as we begin this new adventure..

Bing

Microsoft has released a new search engine and I actually like it. I've been using google for so long it's actually refreshing to use something else.

Give it a try, www.bing.com

the image and video searches are nice with build in previews

Personally, I would have loved it if they called it "bling" vs the bing.

Velcro

Man how do you get this kid to let go? I tried shaking but he was just stuck there like velcro.

We're actually on our way to eat at an old haunt... the Regent Restaurant and Logan and I are jumping over cracks. Here is my favorite pose right now, his "surprize face"

Actual Powerthirst?!?

Awhile ago, a good friend directed me to the now classic powerthirst ads (profanity warning...). These were fake ads posted by a canadian comedy group picnicface. Well seems like they were hired to do an ad for a real energy drink Braundo....

Huh.

Space Man Brad

If you didn't get the email, Mr. G states the following.

"Hi all,

Just a quick mass-email to let you know about the launch of the Herschel space telescope tomorrow morning. Our group has been working on the software for one of the instruments on this satellite for the last 7 years or so. This is a ~$3 billion mission, and much more scientifically important than the Hubble upgrades and shuttle flights that have been in the news over the
last week.

You can see a live webcast of the launch at:

Here is a promo video for it.

Lemon"aid"

Here's a little help for your Lululemon collection. Apparently they've started a sale page here. Personally I disappointed by the lack of any sale items in the male section, so I guess I'll attempt to recover by consuming a Budweiser while driving a quad, shooting small furry critters.

Take that Lulu!!

Lstudio

Came across this site recently, a winner of the webby awards. Here is a reposting from their website.

The Webby Awards is thrilled to honor Lisa Kudrow with a Webby Award for Outstanding Comedic Performance. As star, co-writer, and co-producer of "Web Therapy" on lstudio.com, Lisa Kudrow set a new bar for how the Internet can be used to heightened comedic effect. Brilliantly playing a therapist who treats her patients via three-minute Webcam sessions, Kudrow has created a hilarious, cringe-inducing collection of mini-comedy masterpieces.

lstudio contains many quality shorts from comedy to documentary. Here are just a couple that I found interesting right away.

Your desk - what make you you? Perhaps your workspace.

Macros - where did we come from and where is migration taking us?

Cassini - Hey I like science.... who doesn't?

Athletically Competent

Well I'm not sure where Logan gets his athletic ability from considering I don't play any ball sports, but he's demonstrated his competence at basketball, soccer, golf and now baseball.

Go Figure....
