A Day in Paradise

I am on hold with bellsouth, and the longer they keep me on hold the longer I am going to rant about them. The trouble started before I even got into work, I started getting reports of “flakey internet” so when I get in and do a quick diagnostic sweep and determine that it was […]

I think we do about 75% of these

Don Dodge coined Web2.0 as “Web App + 2 Founders + 0 Revenue”. Funny, and not too far off the money.
Don goes into detail about the various ways that Web2.0 firms are funding their efforts. This goes from Freemium (free basic membership with paid premium package) to Subscriptions to simple Advertising.
One thing that he doesn’t […]

We are in the process of re-doing our office, and are going to hang three 50″ plasmas from a triangular bracket hanging in the center of the office.
After scouring the net for good deals on the Panasonic 50″ plasmas we wanted, we came up with 2 final options.
1. Buy from some online store […]

Annie lost her first tooth today. She’s been playing with her “wiggle-tooth” for the last few weeks, and has been getting exceedingly anxious to get it out of her mouth.
Today, after my failed attempt to pull it, she disappeared for half an hour, and then re-appeared with a tooth in her hand!

Now we are waiting […]

What can I say… it’s getting scary!

.. or why I haven’t replied to your emails in six months.
We break from our usual programming for a quick Wormus family update!
As you may or may not know (depending on how often you read the blog) we are in the process of making a move from Frankfurt, Germany to West Palm Beach, Florida. We […]

In the footsteps of a couple good friends I’ve decided to make the first blog entry of the new year yet another year in review round-up for the year 2006.
It’s hard to believe that we’re already done with 2006, this one went by fast. A lot happened, and due to the overflow of work, I […]

We took the kids out to the park to have a bbq. While we were waiting for everyone to show up, Annie comes up and says
Annie: “I want to play goofball”
Stella: “goofball?”
Annie: “yes, where you have a stick and hit the little ball”
Stella: “You mean mini-golf?”
Annie: “Yes, mini-golf”

Nikon D50/D70 vs Canon Rebel XT Shootout
I’m looking at upgrading my s100 to a digital SLR. I played with Mike’s on Sunday and I am totally sold on getting an upgrade.

Taking these kinds of pictures is worth whatever the cost.
I checked out this review on the difference between the Nikon and Canon low end digital […]

Representing the offical Toby-Fanclub-FFM I took Annie and Mia to Hessen Tanzt. Very early on Mia fell and smashed her nose on one of the metal bars, which turned into a bloody mess (literally). Thankfully, we had tissues and the bleeding quickly stopped without any damage (other than a bruised nose).
We had fun, stayed for […]

And the thunder!

The first Monday of Daylight Savings Time. It always sucks loosing an hour of sleep, but then again I get the benefit of sitting in my kitchen with my coffee just in time to watch the sun come up.
Another weekend gone by too quickly. On the list of things that didn’t get done was to […]

I was getting my cup of coffee… I grabed a cup from the sink, rinsed it out (I think) and then filled it up with coffee. As I was mixing the milk in, I wondered if this was a different type of milk since it was a lot more foamy than usual.
There must be something […]

Last Saturday, I splurged and bought myself a 19inch LCD monitor. I liked my old CRT but it was getting old, and taking up a LOT of space so I figured I was well over due for an LCD.
I got the and LG, it had nice reviews, specs and of the LCD monitors on display […]
