Galactica = the best show on TV, no question about it. It’s rare to find a sci-fi show that doesn’t lean completely on trickery and special effects, and completely masks it’s own genre with stellar writing, supporting flawed yet brilliant characters portrayed by some top-notch talent. And I say that as someone who felt the original ’70s version sucked harder than a black hole, no less- it was no small feat to turn me around to BSG.

Man, Devin’s growing quickly. This shirt has to be my favorite of his non-onesie wardrobe (thanks, Heidi!). He’s almost big enough for the Frank Zappa onesie Wendy got him (awesome), but for now this is about as rockin’ as he gets. The camo pants/hoodie round it out pretty well, too.

The iPhone has been the shining light at the end of this dark tunnel- providing me with just enough of my formerly-illuminated life to keep going in the face of adversity. I’ve pretty much been using it for all my email, most of my web access, and the center of the universe when it comes to address book/contact/calendar data. And quite capably so, in fact. I’ve become pretty adept at the touchscreen keyboard- going well beyond my old WPM count on a Crackberry or Treo – and honestly the Edge speed doesn’t suck terribly when I’m away from a hotspot.

The few things I really really miss that there’s really no presest subsitute for:

• All my Quicken data (don’t have a copy of PC Quicken to use it with- manually balancing my accounts is sucking heavily)
• OmniFocus beta (OMFG the lack my tasklist is painful right now- I’ve lists and lists of stuff that I probably should be doing but am currently blissfully unaware of)
• iTunes (my audio/video library is on a 2TB Mac-formatted RAID – shit outta luck for now)

The OmniFocus/tasklist deficiency is pretty tough to deal with- the iPhone syncs everything else from my Mac (addresses/phones, calendar items) but for some reason ignored the tasklist/to-do list features. Consequently, I’ve been using the beta of OmniFocus to manage my whopping big to-do lists, and damn- I feel out of touch without that data right now. Again- as OmniFocus is a Mac-only beta (which rocks the haus, I might add), there’s no PC equivalent I can lean on for the time being.

On a good note, however- my new MacBook Pro was ordered less than 24 hours after my old one was deemed dead and officially shitcanned, so I’m holding out hope that CDW knows how to rush an order in less than a month (have to go thru them for corporate orders, alas). Another week or two of this PC/Windows shiznit and I might unexpectedly go postal.

In case you don’t get the gag- ‘NDA’ stands for non-disclosure agreement, which means I often have to answer many public questions with a vague “no comment” due to security/intellectual property issues with my employer. Chris Flick (the brilliant cartoonist who pens this strip) loves to grill me for it, too…

Our little guy gets his first gulp of real hospital air after 38 grueling hours of labor(!!). 10 fingers, check. 10 toes, check. Healthy cry, abs-checko-lutely.

There’s more pictures here, too
