Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Good morning. Happy Feast of Divine Mercy! I'm on my way to take the girls to Mass. They are altar servers this morning so I have to get them there early. 6:33am

Home from Mass & breakfast w/Abby & the twins. I downloaded some more MIDI's for the Clavinova of songs the boys have learned on Wii Music. They're playing with 'em now. 9:18am

Attempting to do a hard drive wipe & OS install on my old iBook G4 before I send it to Daniel's godfather. Saying goodbye to whatever had been installed on it... 9:47am

Upgrading our iTunes purchased music to be DRM free [aka iTunes Plus]. I'd put if off for a while but am biting the bullet now. Cha-ching!$! Most future purchases will likely be from Amazon's Music store but I wanted to "fix" the older stuff. 10:50am

Between the OS updates of the old iBook and the upgrade of our iTunes music, we are currently using a lot of cable modem bandwidth just downloading from Apple. 11:33am

Now that our music library is free (as in speech), I'm backing it up again onto my MacBook. I think that now that it has no DRM, I might sync it with my non-iPhone phone. 1:26pm

It's springtime and I'm a papa. Bike chains fixed, bike tires and basketballs re-inflated, boo-boos consoled. Now nursing a iced chocolate raspberry coffee while watching the boys on their bikes. 4:03pm

Michelle just found out that her cousin just had his first baby and named her "Abigail Rose". Probably didn't know about our Abigail Rose. Oh well. They're on opposite coasts. 5:16pm

Wrapping up my weekend in the usual style. Foldin' laundry, bathing the twins, getting the boys ready for bed... 7:15pm

Claire and I were reading and discussing this article about how modern running shoes have done zilch to statistically reduce rates of injury. (related link) 9:10pm

The trailer for the upcoming Harry Potter movie is looking awesome. July 17th. Hmm. Wonder if I can convince Claire to go with me? Will the local IMAX theater have it? (related link) 9:40pm
