I finally got around to uploading some of our pictures from Valentine’s Day.  Actually, Valentine’s Day eve since it was Saturday the 13th.  We went out to Red Lobster for dinner and then headed over to the ice bar for awhile.  It was very cold so we only stuck around for a couple beers before heading inside to a bar nearby.  After the ice bar closed down we were able to take some better pictures.  After that we went to another bar downtown and then headed back up to the north side to Whistle Binkies.  It’s a pretty nice place closer to home.  A good band was playing so we stuck around for awhile before heading back home.  On Sunday we lazed around a bit and Laura made us a good Valentine’s Day dinner.

Since I updated to the latest version of WordPress I noticed they use something called Gravatars, or globally recognized avatars. I decided to go ahead and incorporate them into the comments so if you want to display an image by your name head over to http://gravatar.com and get yourself a Gravatar. It’s based on your email address so make sure to use the one that you use for posting comments.

I’ve recently switched to a new hosting service for my web site so things are going to look a little crazy around here until I’m done getting everything back in order. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time but since my hosting plan was up for renewal I decided this was the best time to do it. Hopefully it won’t take me too long to get everything back to normal.

UPDATE: It looks like everything is back up and running. If you notice anything broken please let me know.

I got a new computer for work just before Christmas and besides the 4GB of RAM, Core 2 Duo processor, and Windows 7, it also has a webcam built into the screen.  I haven’t even tried it out until today but I thought it might be fun to take some pics every now and then and put them up on the site so I created a new Webcam page.  This all started because I found some really cool webcam software called Yawcam that can automatically upload images to a website.  So all I have to do is click a button and two seconds later it’s up on the site.  I had to try it out and the result is pretty sweet.  The first picture I took was of some of the assorted items on my desk at work.  That was before I figured out you can add your own captions.  Basically it’s two ducks, two monkeys, a turtle, and two pigs kissing.  Along with mini can’s of Mountain Dew and Cherry 7Up, which are actually chap stick but I will never open them because they’re too awesome.

Despite our lack of recent posts, we’re still alive and kicking out here in Rochester! We’ve both been keeping busy working and doing our share of fun things. Today we went ice skating at the indoor rink nearby with our friends Dave and Christine. It was a lot of fun (and no one fell!). The only downside of the trip was the fact that it was “open skate” so all the little kids came out of the woodwork to skate. It was more like dodge the children than skate. I think we’ll have to plan our next trip during “adult open-skating.”

We’re looking forward to planning a trip up to the cities some weekend in February. We just thought it would be fun to get a hotel room and spend the weekend sightseeing, shopping, etc. There’s a hotel we’re looking at which supposedly has the biggest indoor water park in America as well as a 5800 sq. ft. arcade, two restaurants, a spa, and a cafe. Sounds like a dream vacation to me!

Other than that, not much new is happening here. I’ve finally picked up enough clients/shifts at work that I’m considered “full time” now which is nice. Justin’s doing well with work also. He’s wrapping up work on one project and starting work on another. It should be a busy year for both of us. We still seem to find time for video games though.

Check out a few pictures from our ice skating adventure here.

We got back on Monday from our Christmas vacation in Sturgeon Bay and Quinnesec.  Laura and Melinda baked some cookies, we played some board games, and we drank some beer.  Laura got a lot of nice things for Christmas including a purse, video games, and clothes.  I got a Blu-ray player so I am finally joining the next generation of home video.  I got District 9 along with it and I already ordered a couple Blu-ray movies from Amazon.  We also got a bread maker from my parents and we’re looking forward to trying that out.

I’m still on vacation until next Monday so today I set up the Blu-ray player and basked in the glory of high definition for a little while before finally starting Assassin’s Creed 2.  Tomorrow we are going to a friend’s holiday party so that should be a lot of fun.  I think we’re going to spend New Years by ourselves with some beer and champagne and maybe a nice dinner.  Check out some of our pictures from Christmas here.
