Mark McGwire misses Baseball Hall of Fame.

Well if he had said no to drugs and didn't act like an idiot in front of the congressional steroids hearing then maybe just maybe he would have gotten in. Let this be a lesson. SAY NO TO DRUGS.

And if you still deny he did steroids just look:




I can't believe they are the same person. How sad.

My son and the uncanny valley.

My oldest son is deathly afraid of any stuffed animal that moves on its own and or talks on its own. My only conclusion to this is that the "animal" in question crosses the uncanny valley in my sons eyes. My youngest son (only 10 months behind my oldest) has no problem with any stuffed animal and even finds the movements and sounds entertaining. Why is this? Could it have something to do with intellect or lack thereof? As far as I can remember he has always been afraid of such "animals". We first got him a talking Barney when he was a few months old. In its inactive state he had no issue with it. But once the hand was pressed it would sing the "I love You" song and his mouth would move then it would freak my son out. So, we don't get or accept "animals" that move and or talk.

Just an interesting aspect on my oldest sons behavior. I hope he doesn't grow up having a fear of these "animals". I am sure it will pass.

Welcome to my blog.

I guess for 2007 I would resolve to make a blog. Why? I don't really know. Perhaps to share knowledge, share ideas, talk about things, etc.

Let me start with info about myself. I am 28 years old. In February I'll be 29. I am married. I have been married since 2001. I have two children, both boys, only 10 months apart in age. My professional career had to deal with computers and I was once a Chief Financial Officer.

Let me also say that I failed and hated english in school so forgive any errors I make in my posts. I am not a writer.

Enjoy!
