First, much of the last months have been devoted to preparing for the birth of my son. Born almost a month ago now…healthy and happy! Preparation consisted mostly of reshuffling a large percentage of our belongings to make room in the house for his stuff. He doesn’t take up much room…but his stuff does.

Along the same line, we’ve decided we don’t have enough room in our current home to live like we are for very long. Don’t get me wrong, we feel blessed to have a home at all. But the fact is, between having a home work space for two adults and space for two kids to sleep and play, our 1200 sq ft home is feeling a little cramped right now. Therefore, we’ve been preparing our house for market, and saving a down payment.

If that’s not enough, I accepted a new position at Tyler Technologies about two months ago. I’m now in a management role as the Product Manager for the Special Projects Team. This has been an exciting challenge so far. I love making decisions and being the guy who’s responsible for making sure projects get done and stay on track.

This is the “catch up” post. Stay tuned for more….

Is this ironic or not, I can’t decide. Possibly just a good setup for a caption contest?

There were a lot of disappointed kids last Christmas who wanted an iPod but were given a Zune by some well-meaning friend or relative. Consequently, there is a glut of Zunes available on eBay every day. We buy ‘em cheap and throw away the guts to make our product at a great price.
