Zeldman brought up the cold temperatures they are experiencing in New York (9° F).

And while Minnesota has a cold reputation, we can say that we’ve had a mild, mild winter.

So… Here’s the Weather gauge and the day it happened:

Update: Not so balmy anymore.

Midnight Chicken

My good ol’ friend Sammy, sent this excerpt from an article:

Midnight Chicken
Also known as Who Will Blink First? It goes something like this: It’s 3:00 a.m. The baby is awake (again) and crying (again). You are both awake. You both hear her. But nobody moves. Women are tacitly calling in their chit (Surely he knows it’s his turn this time?), but men, the masters of this game, simply play dead (maybe they throw in a little snoring). They can’t hear the crying because they are sound asleep. Who will cave in and get up first? Needless to say, it’s usually Mom.

Our friend Charlotte, however, plays a mean game of Advanced Midnight Chicken: “I used to nudge my husband when the baby would cry and say, ‘Hey, you’re up. I got her last time.’ But there really was no last time.� She’d been asleep all along, but he didn’t know it. So don’t get too comfortable there in the bed, Daddy-O.

I think it is awesome… Is this a wake-up call (literally) to all lazy husbands out there?? =)

While the article has a fresh and funny approach, it brings up serious scenarios, that may help you understand and be pseudo-prepared for the arrival of your baby.

Tiger Admin 3.0 for Wordpress

January 24th, 2007

I just installed the new version of WordPress’ Tiger Admin 3.0.

Steve redesigned the interface, and seems to be that the performance increased after upgrading the plugin to the 3.0 version.

As usual, it only works with CSS2-compliant browsers (like Firefox and Safari):

“If the browser is incapable of displaying CSS2, it will not display the updated design.”

It’s awesome!

So, he has officially completed his jumping into the bandwagon.

This Our Baby’s room. We are anxious to welcome him! =)

Tracey and Beki worked on the collages to create his room’s theme: Books.

Baby's Room

The bassinet is going in our bedroom, and the recliner will go in the nursery. We have the recliner in our bedroom because Trace sleeps on it a few hours through the night.
