It's a Boy!

Last Thursday, December 20, 2007, my wife and I found out we were having a boy. After 20 weeks of waiting we finally knew. How awesome is that?!

Our daughter was the first person we told, and then we let her tell her grandmothers, Mimi (my mom) and Gramma (Stacey’s mom). She is so excited about her little brother. My wife and I took her to Target that night to let her be the first person to buy her little brother a gift. She got him two cute little onesies. One with aliens in ships and another with sail boat.

Our little guy is due May 18, 2008.

Justin Michael as created some CSS to help restyle your Backpack pages for use on the iPhone. It’s simple enough to implement. Just create a divider element on your backpack page and copy and paste his CSS code in it. That’s it. Done. For those of you who don’t have a Backpack account you need to get one. 37signals, the creators of Backpack, have pricing plans ranging from Free to $14 per month. It’s a great way to organize and collect information that is accessible from any Internet connected computer or device, including Apple’s iPhone. Now if only I had an iPhone.
