"We had no idea.
As of this writing, we've collected over $149,000.00 USD
We've never seen anything like it. No one in the tabletop RPG industry has. Dozens of publishers, 180 products, all worth almost $1,500.00 USD. Trust us, many more publishers wanted in after we started, but with the intense surge that literally crashed our servers, there was no way. "

Win7 Demo Fail
http://www.hardocp.com/news/2010/01/26/intel_smoke_demo_vista_vs_windows_7/
Watch as this guy shows how much better Win7 runs his little demo than Vista. What? It doesn't? The Win7 framerate hitches every couple of seconds and runs at a higher CPU utilization? Hmm...
Granted it looks like something was running in the background on Win7 before he started the demo (You can see Utilization on several of the cores), but WTF?! If you are going to RECORD THE DEMO you think you'd have your machine working right.

Houston, We Have Poopie
Dark brown golf ball with a medium amount of like colored mush. Thankfully before bath time.
Years of table-top wargaming (a primarily British hobby) makes the word "color" look odd without a "u" in it :)

I have a larger car seat that I took apart to clean and get ready. I was getting it back together today and put the baby in it to figure out where the straps needed to be set. Then I realized I couldn't figure out how to open the chest restraint latch. After fighting with it for 20min, I called Elizabeth who claims she didn't know either. Finally, I loosened the straps enough to pull the baby out through the top. The latch is still closed and I'm still puzzled.
Finally! Sarcasm punctuation mark! And what a bargain (sarcasm mark)

Bayonetta Review Snip
from Anime News Network:
Bayonetta is complete trash. It is garish, self-indulgent, self-aware nonsense wrapped around a slinking heroine who wears guns on her feet and poses seductively at the touch of a button. It is a tribute to bad taste by Hideki Kamiya, the man behind Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewful Joe, and Okami, none of which was half as shameless as Bayonetta. It is also the best action game in a long, long time.
LOL!

How much is too much
So every daily baby pic is taken twice. Not unusual, I usually take all my pictures twice because I suck at it. In this case, the second one is the better one that I end up using. So what do I do with the extras? Local storage isn't an issue since they're only 360k or so. I mean online. Do people really care? Don't we have enough frickin' pictures already anyway? I'm not even a 'picture guy'. I just started this crap after the wedding, and now I've taken it upon myself to act as a media hub so everyone can have access to this stuff.
I think I'll just dump the daily pics into the 6mo folder once in a while.
Also since all the paranoia over Sarah's divorce is over, I may make the albums public so they can be browsed via Picasa rather than needing to link back here for each one.

Attn: Elizabeth
Could you see if Bob has a spare 2.5" laptop HD lying around. I've got a 40gb in the PS3 now, so almost anything would be a step up.
New Feature
Added "Baby Pic of the Dayish" to the side bar. These will be simple pictures taken via the PC's webcam (so shut yer yaps about quality). I'll get a Picasa album synched up to store all the old ones as time/baby permits.
Murphy's law to the Rescue
The baby hasn't pooped for a couple of days; Constipation. This afternoon, I gave her a bath. Guess what happened right after ;) So much for having a clean, nice smelling baby for a while.
