Star Wars Preschooler

Unless you have been liv­ing under an Inter­net rock, you are famil­iar with the Star Wars Kid meme which cir­cu­lated 5 or 6 years ago. Peo­ple went to extra­or­di­nary lengths to take the orig­i­nal video (below) and adapt it into var­i­ous alter­ations. If you haven’t seen it, or you need a refresher, check this out:

After hav­ing watched that video many times, I became quite famil­iar with the Kid’s awk­ward moves. Nat­u­rally, I was amazed when my 4 year-old son, Dax, busted out doing his own ver­sion the other day. He has never seen the Star Wars Kid video, but this looks eerily sim­i­lar:

Yes, The Force is strong in this one (but I bet you knew I was going to say that).

Missing Tooth

Gray lost his first tooth last night! The Tooth Fairy should be stop­ping by tonight.

 

New Pictures

It’s been a while since I updated my Foto gallery, so I thought I’d throw in some pic­tures from our trip to the beach last week.  Check them out here.

 

What’s Been Happening

Let’s see…Back at the end of Feb­ru­ary, I got rehired by one of my pre­vi­ous employ­ers, P3I, and am now the Web Developer/Windows Secu­rity per­son sup­port­ing the 14th Weather Squadron here in Asheville. Same place of work, slightly dif­fer­ent posi­tion. I’m still doing mostly Linux sys­tem admin­is­tra­tion (Red­Hat and SuSE), but with the new Win­dows part of my title comes the duties of Share­point admin­is­tra­tion. I got to go to Atlanta for a week of Share­point train­ing a few weeks ago, and I’m headed to DC for another week soon.

The Whap­pers con­tinue to rock, and we fin­ished our 3 song demo ear­lier this month. We have put the fin­ish­ing touches on our press kit, so look for us start­ing to play out much more often soon!

Gray turns 5 in May, which is pretty crazy. Dax is 2.5 now. It’s amaz­ing to watch them each develop the indi­vid­ual per­son­al­i­ties. They have both reached the age where they play together, which is great dur­ing those times that Ali­cia and I need a lit­tle downtime.

Ali­cia has had sev­eral open­ings at the Mer­ri­mon Avenue Gal­leries, and she con­tin­ues to sell many paint­ings and jew­elry at the Kress Empo­rium. It seems her booth is one of the most pop­u­lar. She has even branched out into find­ing old fur­ni­ture, fix­ing it up, and paint­ing it. Look for an updated web site soon.

I’ve been doing a good bit of side work still too. Noth­ing to show yet, but sev­eral projects are near­ing completion.

I think that’s not all, but that’s all I can think of.

 

Recent Stuff

First, I’d like to point out the new Photo Gallery I put up here. I decided to start fresh, but look for more pic­tures (and video…yay!) soon.

Sep­tem­ber has been a more relaxed month in that I am no longer under the big dead­line I was stress­ing out about in August. The web server night­mare and sub­se­quent move to a new server has smoothed out rather well. I’ve had vis­its from fam­ily the last two week­ends. And I’ve been play­ing some music here and there, which is always good. Most impor­tantly, I’ve been doing fun things with the boys and Ali­cia since I haven’t had so much extra work to do.

I have a bunch of cool links to post soon, so check back.

Oh, in case you were won­der­ing, we don’t need no stink­ing badges.
