Haven't had a sip yet. WTF Starbucks?!?
The Mythical and Elusive Bread Eating Monster
Wide and Tall


This makes me want to get a dog. But of course, they never stay this tiny, do they?

The Jacket

Farrah thought this multi-colored jacket Mia is wearing was lost. But luckily, the great folks at daycare found it - stuck in a backpack. So I put it on Mia as we left daycare yesterday. Oh, we had to stop by the pumpkins that were placed throughout the lawn area. It gave me a chance to try out the camera on the iPhone 4S. Not too bad.
It’s going to be a fun Halloween this year!
Steve Jobs
I was in my office, packing up for the day when I received a text from my wife. It simply said:
Steve Jobs?!
Sadly, it could only mean one thing.

Boardwalk Empire - The Subway Edition
I’m not a big fan of the HBO series Boardwalk Empire. I tried watching a few episodes when it debuted earlier this year, but I just couldn’t get into it.
But I can get into this advertising campaign. I heard about it a few days ago, and now Laughing Squid has a few photos. I’d love to see this in person. Too bad it won’t be around for long. But if you are in NYC, you should stop by and see — but only on the weekends.
More photos can be found on Laughing Squid’s blog post.
Mia and the Luau

Mia’s daycare was having an end-of-summer luau. Even though sunglasses and hula skirts were handed out, the weather wasn’t exactly sunny and tropical. We stayed as long as we could (the hula performance started late) until the wind and time forced us to leave.
I took only a few photos, on August 26, 2011. You can find the rest here.
My Next iPhone Case
I really need to update my iPhone. It’s on its last legs. The volume button is broken off. The power button doesn’t work. And it started to split in two at the seams! Hopefully, there will be a new iPhone soon.
I’ve been scouting for iPhone cases and came across this. It would be interesting to carry around, wouldn’t it?
Irene
This is a photo of Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Mid-day. Nearly empty. It’s one of those photos you wish you could capture yourself, but probably won’t ever be able to do so. It was taken by the MTA and posted on Flickr. The reason why it’s nearly empty is due to Hurricane Irene.
Grand Central Terminal is a sight I’d like to revisit again. The place is huge. And when it’s filled with people it feels amazing.
Oh, and they’re going to have an Apple Store there someday soon.
Bixby

It’s tough when you lose a pet. A pet who’s been a loyal friend and good companion over the years. But, like us and everything on this planet, in this universe, time doesn’t stand still and lets us simply live forever. And so, sadly, we say goodbye to Bixby who succumbed to age this past Thursday morning. He was about 77 years old (11 in human years).

Bixby was a friendly, yet cautious dog. His cautious nature bordered on being shy. He would let his partner, Lucky, determine if any new person was worthy of attention. After the determination, Bixby would warm up and be playful as the next dog. Combine Bixby’s relaxed playfulness with Lucky’s hyperactive playful nature and you’ve got a tiring combination.
Bixby was a slower-moving dog, built more for comfort than speed. It didn’t help that he had an injured front paw making him a little less active. But he’d trot around with Lucky, playing with whoever would stop by.

But now, Lucky is alone again, as he was for a year before Bixby’s arrival. The photos in this post were taken with a film camera on Bixby’s first day in our lives. The photos are dated February 25, 2001.
You’ll be missed, Bixby.

Mia's First Birthday
Mia Bathing
At 10:16 am last year, Mia arrived in our lives. And what a year it has been. Ever since then, time seems to have been moving so fast, often a complete blur. I’m sure every parent has a similar experience.
Wasn’t it just a month ago that it seemed like all she could do was cry, eat, and poop? Wasn’t it just last week that she learned how to crawl? Wasn’t it just this morning she learned how to stand? And it seems just now, at this very moment, she really knows, by the glint in her eye, who mommy and daddy truly are. There is so much to share, but now so little time to write about it.
I took this photo as Mia was bathing this morning, getting ready for her day (or actually the whole weekend). I hope to post more photos later today - when I can find a moment. We’ll see how that works out.
But for now, Happy Birthday, Mia!
