I figured it is never too early to reserve domain names for the girls. Their names are unique enough that the probably won’t get taken. But just in case, I thought I’d register them. For only $10/year it’s a worthwhile investment.
I figured there’s no sense in letting the domains just site there, so I set them each up with a Tumblr account. Kesha and I will try to keep the updated with pictures, video, and other cute things they say and do.

Since it is Christmas time, I thought it would be an opportune time to share a neat service that Kesha and I use. It is called Wishlistr. You can use it to add items to an online wishlist. You can sign up here: http://wishlistr.com. It is easy to add items to your wishlist using their bookmarklet.
If you are feeling the giving spirit, you can check out our wishlistr lists here:

If you don’t yet, you need to start using Pandora Radio. Here is the deal: You go to pandora.com and sign up. Once you have an account, you type in your favorite artists and it will make custom radio stations based on your music picks. For instance, I have a Colbie Caillat Radio Station that I am listening to right now. That doesn’t mean all I will get is Colbie Caillat songs 24/7. But it will search it’s billions-of-billions of artists to find songs that fit into that genre. It is really cool.
Here is another cool feature. There is a button called Quickmix. If you click it, you can choose several of your stations (eg. John Mayer, Colbie Caillat, & Jack Johnson), then it will create a station based on all the artists you selected.
Thanks Pandora for making listening to the radio a lot easier on the ears.

So I thought I would talk about another way you can stalk me (as if this blog, twitter, myspace, facebook, etc isn’t enough). Let me ask you a question…what do you know about RSS? Nicknamed “Really Simple Syndication”, RSS is a great way to keep up with your favorite sites. You may have heard it as a “Feed” also. What you do, is find a site that offers a RSS feed. Typically there will be this image indicating that you can subscribe to someones RSS:
Once you click it, you can choose which “reader” you want to use. I use Google Reader for myself. I like it best because it is simple and you can access it from anywhere. Then, when someone posts to their site, you can view the content right there in your Reader. It is really cool. I have a little google gadget that allows me to read all my friends blogs right on my google homepage. It is pretty sweet. So if you want to really get your stalk on, subscribe to my rss feed. And don’t worry…chances are if you read my blog I am already stalking you!
Peace!
PS. I made it real easy for you to find my feed. Check out my sidebar.
