Longwalkhome » Friends http://www.longwalkhome.org/blog Big shifting plans, shoe horned into a small blog...coupled with short attention span. Fool proof! Thu, 06 May 2010 04:43:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Greetings Zoe! http://www.longwalkhome.org/blog/2009/05/27/greetings-zoe/ http://www.longwalkhome.org/blog/2009/05/27/greetings-zoe/#comments Thu, 28 May 2009 03:07:37 +0000 Ryan http://www.longwalkhome.org/blog/?p=507 Our beloved friends the Ridenours have produced a child, Zoe Roxanna Ridenour.

New baby

She is small and most likely pretty confused right now. I suspect she will settle down shortly.  Did you know that what I don’t know about children could fill a book?

Again, welcome Zorax (still working on a nickname).

Behold! Photos Paula’s birthday party:

Sidenote: Kate is getting really great with her new camera.

This is pretty much what my weekend looked like:

PS If you go walking at night with 6 guys on Highway 20, passing cars will yell at you as drive by.  I blame Jeff’s provocative dress.

Where to start?  When a Man and Woman love each other very much…..

So, our good friend Colin and Shiho Johnson are with child.  We decide to celebrate this with cupcakes and Baby Bottles as our traditions require of us.

Find a few photos below, which aren’t really the best or most memorable…just the ones that helped me build a funny non-related narrative in my head.  A narrative I will not be sharing.  Enjoy!

Excellent. Now he did this without my influence and mostly because his school, Full Sail, sets up their curriculum to support OSX distribution. Which is really really cool.

Getting to where coffee shops have more Apple’s than other machines on The Hill. Big change from a few years ago.

Also, I did mention my new lappy will be here in a few weeks?

So far, neat widget in the sidebar of the blog. There is a surprising number of people already on board, you can check their libraries as you browse around.
The interface is decent and responsive, might as well take a spin. You can sign up yourself rightHere.
Personally, I am just adding books as I read them rather then back filling them all. So, go ahead and read along with me.

In a world that is progressively fissioning, we see music and the dance arts grow ever closer. After a brief lull in catalogue modeling, Ryan finally answered http://www.longwalkhome.org/blog/2007/08/27/my-cousin-the-geek/ Tom and Diana: East Coast Life

Well, geekery spreads like envy on care package day at fat kids camp (…) amongst the newly Mac Faithful.
Witness Diana’s blog, Tomndianna. Check it out.

Could this be a trend of new sites amongst my people? Want help setting up your own?
Why don’t you meander over to blogger.com and get started. Let me know if you need anything.

Say hello to the next big family friendly classic, Au Bear.

Like lock-pick skills, bow-staff skills, and ultimately Nunchaku skills.
Behold, Devin’s blurry Numchak-ery.
Sure, I would love to get a better shot. Unfortunately the raw speed of the Numchaking prevents that.
Shame.

A quick trip to the Apple Store, some joyful unpacking, and some painful data migration from the old beleaguered PC, and they on the path to Mac-ery.

Redkev concurrently contacts me saying his old windows lappy is nearly dead and that he wants me to take him the Apple Store today to look at a replacement.

Could 3-way iChat be long coming? Me thinks perhaps.
