Happy Free Slurpee Day! (at your local 7-11)

Woo woo! I've claimed all the prizes I could for all the games I have that are in the Steam Summer Camp Prize Booth. 21 tickets redeemed.

I am killing at jeopardy tonight. #kidsjeopardy

Reid is one month old today. He did great on his first long road trips, to Calgary and back.

Happy Canada day. #proudCanadian

Putting a dent in my rss feeds. Was sitting at 400+ dating back to June 2.

Only 7 days until the release of The Lord of the Rings extended edition on BluRay. Who's excited? I am, I've pre-ordered it.

The tasty No-Boston Cream donut that Tim Hortons is selling in support of the #Canucks Go Vancouver! #bringithome

I've been trained to be awake at this hour :) I could be sleeping. Not tired but at least my brain is running creatively.

My Dad is looking for an American channel to watch tonights Canucks game so he can follow the glowing puck. Not in Canada.

A Google "Talent Scout" has contacted me over LinkedIn. That can't be legit? Google doesn't have to actively look for devs.

Catching up to personal emails. Sitting at 81. Looking forward to inbox 0 followed by the Canucks game tonight.

We're told he has skis for feet and long toes. One nurse calls Reid the little monkey.

Our bouncing (and tightly bound) baby boy.

Another mother here at the hospital pointed out my Linux Journal "Geek by nature Linux by choice" t-shirt :)

It's a boy! http://reidnewton.com/

Our nurse is going to call in our doctor soon. She's just instructing Crystal with what to expect.

Falling asleep on my chair. Baby is still active. Crystal is still being a rock star. 6pm doesn't look probable. I'll guess 7:47pm.

Our nurse is estimating a delivery around 6pm. Me? No clue. Crystal is doing awesome. Like nothing is going on.

Crystal is being made comfortable. Might even fall asleep for a while. Doctor shift change. Back to last nights doctor.

2:49pm Crystal says for the first time: I don't want a second one (baby)

Listening to a lady pushing a baby out across the hall. Yikes.

Eating Crystal's hospital lunch while she giggles and huffs laughing gas.

We've got our support team here helping me as much as they are helping Crystal. She is doing well and having a hot shower now.

At hospital with Crystal. She was finally able to have her water broken. Odds are baby comes today.

Reading some Lord of the Rings Return of the King. Drifting off to sleep soon.

Back at home. Fixing up a quick work-related issue and then nap time!

Waiting to be sent home. Dunno what I'm looking forward to more: coffee or sleep. Maybe both? >:-)

I've been reading everyone's responses for Crystal. She says it's like getting cards. Thank you. We're learning patience :D

Being monitored again and then sent home to come back 12 hours later if things don't progress again. There's a funny movie in this somewhere

Lucky day. We've got another doctor we're familiar with. We're hanging out at the hospital for a while again. Baby can't come soon enough :)

Getting ready for day two. Different doctor today. I'm sure they're great and that someone else would be disappointed to not have them, too.

Baby watch 2011. Still pending. Bedtime for me soon. http://ping.fm/UMk5P We thank you for the support, everyone.

Home. "Call us tomorrow morning if we don't see you tonight". Alrighty. #WaitingGame

May be sent home from the hospital. Again. :p

Heading back to the hospital because we're noobs and can't do this do-it-yourself-labor thing very well :)

Today feels like a good day to have a baby. Skipping out on work now. And at least one of us is skipping the #Canucks game tonight.

SpaceFight! improvements: made the AccessibleAreaMap even more efficient. In this example reduced 4221 polys to 2613 and 20 nodes down to 12

Getting my caffeine fix at Timmy Hos with my wife and mother in law.

Slowing down for the day, settling in with Crystal to watch them Canucks do their thing.

Watching a black bear cub evade police in my neighborhood.

I've seen enough Anne Geddes photos to last me a good long time with this pregnancy.

Methinks I should put a little tlc into http://n3wt0n.com/ this weekend. Too many b0rken links and legacy pages that should work but do not.

And another n3wt0n.com post where I ramble about light and shadows and those weird accessible area maps http://bit.ly/kq2qNX

A new n3wt0n.com post where I discuss SpaceFight! and something I thought I discussed already http://ping.fm/uvQU8

Tearing out my nice fence because strata demanded it :(

Go Canucks go. Watching the game with Crystal. We work well watching together.

While we were there, a certain lord was storming the shop.

Back from free comic book day with a good haul.

Happy free comic book day, everyone! Do not forget to visit your local comic shop(s) today to pick from the selection of free comic books!!!

Tomorrow is the annual Free Comic Book Day. Plan your day accordingly. http://ping.fm/b1RVn

GDMag just arrived with my mail. It's the one with the @werezompire / Zeboyd Games, and the @eyehookgames indie games postmortems.

Looking forward to catching up to my RSS feed today. And reading. And perhaps also working on SpaceFight!. #rest

Listening to Pres. Obama give his statement but picturing Fred Armisen as Pres. Obama delivering said statement. Fred does Obama so well.

I'm fairly impressed with the Unity interface in #Ubuntu 11.04. Will take some getting used to but it's flashy and draws attention.

Doing one of my favorite things with a computer. Installing a new Operating System. Ubuntu 11.04 in this case. #geek #linux

Watching Let's Play: Metroid Prime 2 to get a recap of where I left off four months ago. I tried to play MP2 just now but I'm lost. No clue.

Just finished the main campaign for Fable 1. Playtime: 9h45m. I've got The Lost Chapters, too, but I think I'll skip it at least for now.

PAX Prime 2011 weekend pass *GET* -- I won't sit around waiting forever for a response from friends. I'll go alone, dammit!

Six days left, have you paid what you want for the Humble Frozen Bundle? http://ping.fm/rvmMH Games redeemable on Steam and Desura.

Yay! PAX Prime registration opened up today. http://ping.fm/wsiHF Slight increase over last year. $60 weekend passes now.

I got my M$80 worth of @eyehookgames Epic Dungeon. 2h25m54s as a Level 77 Shaman. Still couldn't get the Epic Set awardment or Triple Threat

Just finished @eyehookgames Epic Dungeon for a third time. This time in 1h52m20s as a Level 69 Tinkerer. Got my Epic Chain awardment.

Just built my first crib #likeaboss #futuredad

I seem to have misplaced my Killer Bunnies :(

Just opened a jar for my grandma. Made me feel useful :D

Figuring out 2D lightmaps/lighting for use in SpaceFight! and G2DP.

I regret upgrading my Motorola Droid to Android 2.2. It's now slow, sometimes to the point of locking up, crashing and restarting.

Played some more Epic Dungeon tonight. That, with Zombie Estate, are my 2 faves on XBLIG at the moment.

Drove a fully loaded Dodge Caliber SXT Sport Wagon today. Really liked it. Didn't tell the dealership that.

Finally beat Epic Dungeons. Easy mode, Berserker. Level 62. 1h36m14s

Watched the 50th and final episode of the 2006 version of AstroBoy last night with Crystal. Now we're watching Super Mario Bros 3

Played some LOTRO, read some stories, did some work. Time to slip into unconsciousness.

I can appreciate the sub-zero weather because it keeps the zombies frozen in place, but damn! is it cold!

Just told baby the story of the three bears and the evil Goldilocks. Baby didn't appreciate it.

Spiffied up in time for dinner.

Just completed Dead Space: Extraction. Was a good game! Crystal even watched me play.

Just played Pandemic with Crystal. She as a dispatcher and me as a scientist. We lost.

Cooking portabella mushrooms for the first time. They smell so good.

Spent the last 10 minutes talking to baby and feeling it kick around. Was like it snuggled up to where my voice was.

Wow. 74 chapters in this book and I'm just starting chapter 11. Still, The Passage by Justin Cronin is very good.

If it were any cleaner I think I'd be less productive

Just finished reading baby (and Crystal) a few more pages of The Hobbit. Now for our nightly episode of AstroBoy. #married #routine

Just saw True Grit. Was good! Now I have to see the original.

Looking at family friendly chevy cars

Watching Crystal flip through a fashion magazine. There must have been 40 pages of advertisements before she got to the table of contents.

This little guy keeps me company all day. #Zero still has a long life ahead of him, for which I am thankful.

I just watched the 3 hour extended collectors edition of Avatar on BluRay. It was sweet.

Rolling doubles

Now that is a stuffed Christmas belly if I've ever seen one.

Testing. Might be a repeat. Crazy snow tonight. Fun driving conditions.

It's the last day for my #Novembeard. Tonight, it gets a trim.

Just finished Halo 2. Some ending. Certainly makes me want to keep playing! On to Halo 3

Not sure why Ping.fm is multi-posting, so I apologize if this one multi-posts, too. It wasn't me!

Me + Crystal + Alan Wake = a few entertaining nights. First, to finish Amnesia the Dark Descent.

Hey @1889ca fans? Look what I get to start reading today! #Typhoon #MCM Thanks!

The #Novembeard Though I started growing it in September. Also, 100% of women (so far) older than me think it looks good.
