Tao Of Foo

Last week I received a promotion at work. I am now the “Director of Online Operations”. This means I am responsible for all public facing websites including the main website, our customer portal and a few other minor sites.

We took some pictures of Ben in a field of bluebonnets over the weekend. He started getting a little fussy though as the sun came out. Poor guy. We’ll have to try again when it’s a little more cloudy. I’d like to get Daisy in there too.

Oh, and today is my birthday. Happy birthday to me. Mom (or should I say Grandma) is coming over tonight to watch Ben so Amy and I can go out to eat. It’s wierd though, it doesn’t really feel like a Birthday. I guess with Ben and the promotion I’ve been a little distracted lately and it doesn’t even feel like it’s my birthday.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned it yet, but my parents are definately moving to Ft Worth. Bummer. They aren’t too happy about it either, but they don’t have much choice. It looks like we’ll be making lots of trips up north for a while.

After playing with RedHat 9 on a test workstation for the last week, I decided to take the plunge and install it on my laptop. All I have to say is WOW! Very clean install, awesome hardware detection, easy to use etc….

Read on to see the details.

Ben is 5 weeks old today. 5 weeks have passed and he still brings tears to my eyes at times.

It looks like we’re having lots of visitors in the next few weeks. Myk will be down from Chicago and Marisa and Seth will be down from Wichita Falls. I can’t wait for everybody to meet Ben!

Isn’t this the best? In honor of the UT Mens Basketball team making it to the Final Four (first time since 1947), Ben is wearing his orange and white. It’s a 0-3 month outfit that’s already almost too small for him. That’s ok though, we already have a larger UT outfit for him.
