Here’s one of our 20 week ultrasound pictures. It was so cool seeing all of the little details. My favorite was seeing how well formed the heart is, with all its chambers.
Oh, by the way, if you didn’t know we were expecting, then surprise!
I can’t remember the last time I laughed so much. I cried so hard! There are so many good ones that I can’t really list all of my favorites. Here’s a few at the top of my list:

I just found out about the HTML optgroups tag. It basically adds a header to certain options within a dropdown. I’m surprised that I had never heard about it before. There’s an example after the break.

I just finished reading the Watchmen last night. The Watchmen is a series of 12 comics published by DC Comics in the mid 80s. It was, and still is, a revolutionary comic book.
I had never read the Watchmen series, but knew that I had to when I saw the new movie trailer that was shown before The Dark Knight. So, I borrowed the comic from a friend and devoured it this weekend. What an amazing masterpiece! It’s definitely not appropriate for children (sex, drugs, and lots and lots of violence), but the themes and storytelling are tremendous for a comic book.
I can’t wait for the movie to come out, although I am worried that some of the greatness may be lost in translation. I hope that the movie does not try to cram too much in and become an incoherent mess. On the other hand, the screenplay is being written by David Hayter who wrote the first two X-Men movies and is the voice of Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series (Snake? Snake? Snaaaaaaaake??!).
