Washing Hands?

What books am I reading this week:

• Kitchen Confidential Updated Ed: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, by Anthony Bourdain
• Devices of the Soul: Battling for Our Selves in an Age of Machines, by Steve Talbott

What news I am scanning today:

• Search Geo-Data With Finder. Sneak Peak At GeoCommons (Map) Maker. [via TechCrunch]
• Cox Enterprises Announces Plans to Sell Certain Newspapers [via Marketwatch]
• Keep Track of Yourself with Yahoo's Fire Eagle [via CRM Daily]
• Smoky Fire Damages Apple Research Facility [via NewsFactor]
• How to Frame a Brain [via Guy Kawasaki]
• As predicted, Apple now worth more than Google [via Valleywag]

iPhone 3G accessories I just ordered:

• DLO TransDock [via DLO]
• Techsunny Dock Universal Cradle Charger For Apple iPhone [via TechSunny] Update: No iPhone Support.

I am still on the fence regarding which Sub-Notebook I should purchase, any thoughts?

• HP Mini-Note 2133 - $549.99
• Acer Aspire One - $399.00

Before anyone asks, the Apple MacBook Air is out of the running, it costs $1689.94, and the point is something small and INEXPENSIVE, that I can carry easily anywhere I go for a fair price point.

IPhone, what apps I like.

So far my favorite iPhone app is the ebay app... Fantastic!

I also am really liking yelp...

Hiking, Get Rich, HP Mini-Note

Cheryl and Macy, Port Aransas Trip, June 2008.

Today Cheryl, Macy and I hiked around OP Schnabel Park in Northwest SA.  Macy rather enjoys stopping every five feet to find the latest jewel in the rough believed in each and every rock specimen she picks up.

I am about to list a cornucopia of spare and extra computer hardware on eBay, all so that I can get a new Micro Laptop, after weeks of comparison shopping I have settled on the HP 2133 Mini-Note (I know it isn't a Mac, but until Apple makes a powerful, yet inexpensive mini laptop, it's all I got... and yes I know about the Air... just not a huge fan on thin and big).

Announcing Macy Rayne Moynihan

I wish to take this opportunity to announce Macy Rayne Moynihan to the Moynihan and Rowley families!  She is a perfectly healthy baby girl who weighed 7.5lbs at birth, beautiful sets of 5 fingers and toes, blue eyes, and a full head of hair to boot!

Yes, I know, Cheryl looks rested and happy, while I look tired... (and before you say it, I know I've gained a little weight...).

We are Pregnant!

As many of you may have read on my "MySpace" account I announced the news that my wife is pregnant, and wow has it been a whirlwind ride to this post.  You see, I write technology pieces for a number of web sites (including my own), I also do media CRM consulting, and work for Lat TV Channel 17 Austin doing engineering and IT... as you can imagine I do not have very much time left in any given day.

So briefly, Cheryl is doing fine and the baby is developing well! When I have more news I will post, but it may be a while considering all that is going on.
