Joe, Sarabeth, and Jillian

  Now the only thing I can think about is Browns doughnuts from the NJ boardwalk. Oh man. Not only are they closed for the season, but they’re about 9 hours away. Both of these things make me sad.

These doughnuts are beyond fabulous and this is why. They make them right there in front of you and powder them and throw them in a box right in front of you. This is no Krispy Kreme people, this is top notch quality sugar people. My wife just yelled at me for typing this much about browns doughnuts. I guess that means I should post it. Or she is hungry. I think both.

Yes, yes it has. I haven’t actually brought a legitimate update since, vacation? Yikes. I figured since I’m waiting for my virtual SCCM lab to be built that I’d do something that doesn’t require much processor and update you all on what’s going on in my life.

It’s been an interesting few months, lots of visits, lots of new technology, lots of life changes.

Grandpa Joe passed away not too long ago and we all miss him a lot. He was my namesake, and I always felt somewhat of a special bond with him because of that. It was wonderful to see all the extended family, I wish under different circumstances, but it was still great to see Jimmy. It had been 2 years since I’d seen him, and he finally got to see Jillian. He even “saved” her once, because she was crying upstairs and the baby monitor ran out of battery, so he brought her down to the basement to me and Sarabeth, holding Jillian under her shoulders and proudly exclaimed “I saved her!!!” which I thought was both funny and cool at the same time.

I got the Droid. Yes, yes folks I did. Let me give you a rundown of my favorite apps:

• Shop Savvy – Scans barcodes, Live internet pricing comparison
• Key Ring – Scans in your keyring cards like giant eagle, so you can your phone instead of the cards
• PhoneFlicks – Manage my Netflix queue
• Pandora Radio – streaming internet radio
• SNesoid – SNES emulator
• Google Maps – featuring spoken turn by turn directions with phenomenal voice command integration
• RemoteDroid – Allows you to use the droid as a touchpad/keyboard for any computer on the same wifi network.
• Twidroid – Twitter updates

Yep, quite a selection. That’s just some of my favorites, and I’m discovering new ones every day. I haven’t bought one yet, but am looking to buy one soon.

Jillian Jillian Jillian. That little girly has absolutely stolen my heart. I love it when she starts falling asleep on me like she did today, just relaxing nodding off, then comfortably stretched out on my shoulder.

I have to cut it short because it’s getting late and I have ADD, so it took me like an hour to get this far. Hopefully next week I’ll have some more big news to report.

He does the butt-run.
