Engagement Photos

Janene and I went up to “Brighton Ski Resort”:http://www.skibrighton.com on a crisp Sunday afternoon a couple weeks ago along with a good friend of ours who is an excellent photographer. Our mission: capture some cute photos for use in our wedding announcements.
Without further ado, I present “the engagement photos”:http://www.janeneday.com.

Amazon Wish List

My brother-in-law just sent me an email requesting that I set up an “Amazon Wish List”:http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html/104-1222795-7263163?%5Fencoding=UTF8&id=37LQWPA3ML80C. I’ve had one set up for a little while, but it was in serious need of some pruning. I spent a little time today polishing it up, so if you’d like to get me something for Christmas, be sure [...]

Oranges and Apples

So I stopped by one of those little mobile phone kiosks in the mall last night to ask for directions to the bathroom. Out of curiosity I also asked if they had heard of the new “Treo 650″:http://www.palmone.com/us/products/smartphones/treo650/ or knew when it would be available from them (as far as I know only Sprint carries [...]

The Amazing Race 6

“["The Amazing Race 6":http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race6/]” kicked off last night. I first started watching this show during “season 5″:http://www.joeyday.com/2004/07/11/amazing-race-5 this summer, and I highly recommend it. If you missed last season, now’s a good time to start watching!
The Amazing Race airs Tuesdays at 9:00 pm Eastern and Pacific.

An Evening of Friendship

I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience last night. For the first time in over a hundred years, an evangelical preacher was invited to speak in the Salt Lake Tabernacle. I had the great privilege of witnessing it with my own eyes thanks to the youth pastor at our church who happened to have a few extra [...]

Ready for Primetime

Avocation has finally been ported fully from Movable Type to WordPress. There are still a few things I’ll need to figure out before I can port my Foundation blog, but I’m pleased with the way WordPress is handling my content. I especially love not having to rebuild anything. I also feel better knowing I’ll never [...]

Mozilla Firefox

==
After much anticipation, Mozilla Firefox was released today — no longer a “technology preview,” but a full-blown, stable release version. More amazing than that, for the first time I was able to run a flawless update using the new updater!
I couldn’t be more excited about this release. It’s great to be able to whole-heartedly [...]

Septoplasty, et. al.

I underwent my very first surgery this afternoon. The observant reader will recall this was supposed to happen “nearly a month ago”:http://www.joeyday.com/2004/09/28/under-the-knife. I couldn’t get October 12 off work at ContentWatch, so in early October I rescheduled the surgery to today. I’ve been meaning to edit that post but never got around to it.
