I spent the day celebrating by doing 4 hours of yard work in brutal heat. It took me a while to recover from that, so I did not get that much else done today. http://bdwn.com/2008/07/04/8520/ I had settled on Drupal a while ago as the content management system for this site redesign, but since I am going to be investing much time and energy on it, I thought I would check on some alternatives. Well, if you want to check out all of the possible ... http://bdwn.com/2008/07/01/8519/ I am currently working on a new approach to this website. I plan on keeping what I call a day journal (daily web news), but I want to add stories, I want to add more structured content, and I want to add some private material (see Getting Things Done). I never ... http://bdwn.com/2008/06/30/8518/ I have tried several times in the last couple of months to at least post my plans for an update to this site. Somehow, the posting mechanism broke. I'm guessing my hosted service updated the php version on my account. Upgrading to the latest version of Wordpress appears to have ... http://bdwn.com/2008/06/29/8517/ I'm keeping my fingers crossed; I hope I can finally post. http://bdwn.com/2008/06/29/8516/ We are planning to take advantage of my day off tomorrow and go camping for 2 full days and nights.

So I'm going to get a good ... http://bdwn.com/2008/03/20/8514/ I took Sean to the doctor this morning to get his staples out. Apparently, Cortney had a tough time when Sean had his staples put in, so she wanted me to take him to get them out. I coached Sean on what to expect, and except for having his hair ... http://bdwn.com/2008/03/17/8513/ We went on our first family camping trip this weekend. Many of Cortney's friends go camping in trailers, and so Cortney has been interested in camping for a while. We did not rent a trailer, but instead bought a tent. It's a nice two-room tent, but of course a tent doesn't ... http://bdwn.com/2008/03/09/8512/ We finished the second half of Sean's birthday celebration today. We had a party at Pump It Up for Sean's friends and school mates. We didn't get nearly as many kids as we invited, but we still had a good enough turn out for Sean to have fun. I think ... http://bdwn.com/2008/02/23/8510/ Sean turned eight today. We went to dinner at Sweet Tomatoes, and my parents and grandmother joined us. Afterwards, we all had cake, and then Sean opened presents. All of them work pokemon related, which pleased Sean. http://bdwn.com/2008/02/22/8509/
