Doing the conferency talky thing
I didn’t do much in the way of public speaking last year, but I’m starting to make up for it this year. Here’s a few things I’ve got coming up: April 13 – Lighting talk at the Seattle Django Users Group – this will be about jsonwidget, which is shaping up nicely. I’m toying with [...]

Moving on
I’ve decided to leave my current job at Linden Lab. Those of you interested in the ins-and-outs of Second Life may want to look at my post to “sldev” (our open source development mailing list). It was a tough decision to leave, and even tougher to make without having my next move totally nailed down, [...]

She’s Two!
The last couple years have been a ‘merciful blur’ as my mom likes to put it. Hard to believe our little baby is now 2 years old. Running, jumping, climbing, feeding herself and talking in complete sentences. My mother is here for a 2 week visit. The last time was December 2006! We had Auntie [...]

Thanksgiving 2007
I’m playing around with posting videos on myspace. Hazel turned 18 months on Thanksgiving this year. We did our annual pilgrimage to Cinda and Dave’s house for turkey and fixins. We couldn’t stay long enough to play games but Hazel did help wash up after dinner. Despite having a cold she was pretty energetic after [...]

Spookyfish in San Francisco
Hazel has reached the developmental milestone Rob and I are calling “Spookyfish”. For those of you who don’t watch South Park – one of the characters, Stan, gets this pet goldfish which turns out to be evil and kills people. No – that’s not Hazel’s new trick
San Francisco continued…
The Weekend – Sept 9th and 10th We rented a car for the weekend to see some things we couldn’t get to easily by walking or public transportation. Saturday we went north and crossed the Golden Gate bridge into Sausasilto before heading south to check out west San Francisco. On the way over to the [...]

Live from San Francisco
Monday Sept 4th So we made it down here uneventfully and even lucked out and were able to take Hazel’s car seat on the plane even tho’ we didn’t pay for an extra seat – it wasn’t a full flight! She slept until right before landing and Rob was able to calm her down enough [...]

Enough of this silly freelance stuff
As of this week, I’m no longer a freelance developer. Who wants to run their own billing department? Certainly not me. I had a hard enough time filling out expense reports…doing my IRS Form 2210 again this last quarter kinda sealed the deal for me. I have a new full-time job, working for Linden Lab, [...]

Rolly Polly
Early (waaaaay too early) this morning Hazel rolled over on her own for the first time. She was in her crib, fussing, hungry and kicking and managed to lever herself over to her stomach. I put her on her back and she did it again. We haven’t tried it with a happy, non-fussy baby but [...]
Toy Porn and 10 lb baby
Hazel continues to gain weight tho’ at a slightly slower pace since we stopped the butter injection treatments. Last week was her 2 month checkup and a round of shots. Oh that was fun – 2 shots in each leg. Good thing she didn’t see the size of the needles before she got stuck or [...]

Hazel’s Five State tour
Hazel got through her first plane ride just fine. Actually, we were more worried about us than her. Anyway, we managed to make it to five states: Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and a token drive over to Indiana so that we could say we were there. Lots of pictures taken by all, especially at my [...]

Comments from the Wife: (Life – Sleep) + Stress = Life with baby
Things keep rolling along here in the Lanphier house. I miss having the grandparents around to help with stuff like dishes and laundry – may just have to hire a maid. It’s odd to find myself thinking that because when the idea first came up a few years ago I was adamantly opposed to having [...]

Update from MargL-Mommy
Finally updated the photo gallery with some new photos. http://photos.robla.net/gallery/v/2006/ The Grandparents (MargL’s mom and Rob’s parents) have arrived and quickly got to work cleaning and sorting and building things. Aunt Dawn and Uncle Mike brought by some fixin’s for sandwiches and salads so we didn’t have to cook (yay!). Not that I’ve avoided cooking [...]
