Game Time
Sitting here watching the SEC championship game while my wife is putting up Christmas decorations. I feel like turning down the thermostat, turning on the logs in the fireplace, making some coffee, and just take all this in.
Good times!

Time to do something else
You know that you have been surfing way too long and need to do something else when you come upon this:
Simple upgrade
That has to be the simplest upgrade for a web site that I have ever completed. I logged into the site tonight and found that WordPress 3.0 is available. I clicked on the automatic update link and a few minutes later, everything is ready to go with no further effort on my part. All upgrades should be this easy!
The Single Sign-On
Every once in a while, software developers need a good laugh!
Mobile edition
I just installed a new plugin for WordPress that detects mobile browsers for mobile devices like the iPhone or iPod touch and automatically presents the blog in a way that is better suited for mobile browsers.
Upgrade success!
WordPress recently released version 2.9.1. I have tried a couple of times to upgrade using the automated upgrade option within the blog. Each time, it would throw messages about not having required permissions to perform the upgrade. It appears that the automated upgrade will not work on my hosting provider.
So, I took the time to download the update and performed the install manually tonight. It took a little while to make sure I got everything copied up to the site and not overwrite something important. It appears that the upgrade went well.
Our 17 month old
I realized that I have not posted an updated photo of Aaron lately. He is growing like a weed. Since I last posted about him, he is getting around all over the place and trying to talk. They grow up way too fast. You can click on the photo to see a larger version.
Win a Drobo
There are just a few days left to get in on the contest to win a Drobo at Managing Your Digital Life.
Using Technorati
I setup my blog tonight to use Technorati’s services. Maybe it will bring some traffic to the site.
5 video tutorials on AJAX
I was looking around for video tutorials for AJAX and Javascript and I came across Stian Solberg’s blog. The videos include one about debugging AJAX with Firebug and an introduction to jQuery.
