bread together on our walk.

Hands free and driving

According to L.A. Times, the CHP has issued close to 20,000 tickets for people talking on their phones while driving without using a hands free device since July 1st. That is roughly 230 citations a day. It doesn't include local PD.

My current iPhone screen shot

Live shot (Tues 5:29pm) of Caden eating and reaching for more!

Caden woke up from a nap, at school, with his hand print in his cheek.
Really cute it is, to see him sleeping on his hand then awake with the
hand still there ;)

This morning (few minutes ago) Catherine wakes Caden up and tells him,
"Dad is making us pancakes for breakfast!" to which Caden replied
"crap". :)

Great photo of Boone!

Karr

On our drive home from school today, Caden said "car"! He pronounced
it with a Boston accent; karr. Feakin cute!

The view of a hacked iPhone

The only way to operate the iPhone ;)
Notice the video's apps, the customized views (icons, paper & fonts)
and the terminal. With terminal I can get into the phones internal
operating system and make my own changes. Sweet iPhone!

Sad and ill boy:(

He looks as he sounds. Poor guy just can't get a break. Another Dr.
visit this morning to address his continuing ear infection. Now it
appears he might actually have a sinus affection along with the ear
infection. He came home with a stronger medicine subscription and
hopefully he'll feel better soon.

Movie problems

There appears to be a problem viewing the movies with Internet Explorer. Some people see the movies while some don't. Those that don't either see an outlines box or nothing at all (a large blank screen area).

I am researching what the problem is. If you are having problems, please email me (tonymazur at gmail.com) so that I can tell you how to fix it once I get it resolved.

Thanks, T

First time clapper (Holee Wud - Aug 27 08)

I believe this to be the first video capturing Caden performing his first clapping session ;)   [click play to start the movie]


Sir Laughalot (Holee Wud - Aug 25 08)

Can't say anymore other then this is him laughing! :)   [to watch the movie, just click the play button that is displayed below the picture]


Goofing Around (Holee Wud - Aug 22 08)

This was taken one Friday when Caden and I escaped the confines of the house. We work from home on Friday's with Caden to save costs on schooling for him. $1300 a month for school, I wish I could work at home more often with him! Anyhow, we were at the park filming this and I labeled this "Goofing Around" because that is exactly what we were doing, goofing around together. :) As you see Caden kicking his legs and waving his hands, this means he is excited/happy.   [to watch the movie, click the play button below the picture]


In Love

After editing and posting this last movie of Caden (self-leaning), I can't help to notice that opening picture of the movie. There I see Caden leaning on the table while Catherine is resting her head to the side and watching him, more like adoring him :) And I am adoring this picture of them. Ah man, my heart stops when I watch these two beautiful souls interact with each other. :)

It is quite amazing to observe the different interactions between your son and yourself versus that you see of his interactions with my wife. Oh, and of course the difference seen with Boone! ;) I'll have to blog more about this later, for now I need to post three more movies.  


Caden self-leaning (Holee Wud - Aug 22 08)

In this, now older movie, we see Caden leaning on the table for the first time on his own. As you've read from a recent update, Caden has now started to stand on his own!   [click the play button below the picture to start the movie]


Update on Cadens' ear infection

Caden broke his fever yesterday and we headed to the beach for 2 hours. It was beautiful out! He enjoyed watching the seagulls, pelicans, surfers, the waves and of course the people. He is such a people watcher :)

Caden started to get fussy, to the point that we didn't know what was wrong or what he wanted. Catherine was fearing the worst and we headed home and once there she checked his temperature and she was correct, his fever had come back and spiked to 103. I guess the beach excited him ;)

A quick bath and supper and he was put to bed. He was up a few times last night and at 5:30am his temperature is back down to 98.

Sweetness!

Caden update

Good morning! Caden broke his fever this morning which is very exciting for three reasons. One, Caden is on his way to feeling better. Two, we get our sleep back and lastly, we get our sleep back ;)

Caden picked up this ear infection (this time affecting both ears compared to July where only one ear was affected) and his temperature rose on Thursday afternoon to 102. Last night around 2am it dropped to 98.

For a couple days we thought he might also have Pink Eye as he was rubbing his eyes and they were very red and watery. But as you know those are similar symptoms to the Ear Infection. Anyhow the fever is gone and he looks much better.

Caden has also been standing more and more on his own! Although the standing stints only last a few seconds it is still very fun to watch. Very very exciting!

Yesterday was tough for us as we had little to no sleep, work was busy and Caden needed much attention. But as Father Jim says, "Never Give Up" and we didn't with our patience with each other. Cath and I made it out of those woods and today we're doing much better.

No new changes on the home sale. We had a buyer that decided to step away while we were in the contract signing stages. This is where you agree to sell and they arrange a home inspection. So the home remains on the market with all the others and little to no showings. :( As we drove home from our local grocery store we counted 6 homes for sale of a distance less than a mile. That's a lot!

Aunty Nik gave us a date night on Thursday night which was awesome of her! Although it was tough to leave knowing the Caden was not feeling well we took the chance of leaving knowing that we were just a few miles from the house and could get back if needed. Instead of a typical date night of a movie and dinner we instead did some grocery shopping and grabbed a dinner. It was nice to visit TJ's on a Thursday instead of Friday as it would have been very tough with Caden being sick. We try hard not to shop on the weekend allowing us more time together, the four of us, to do work around the house or more time in the park together. So visiting TJ's together without Caden was weird. For a few seconds there we both felt as if we didn't have a child at home because this was our first time sole shopping, shopping without Caden. It was also strange to walk through the isles and browse and hold hands without having to rush, or to arrive there without throw up on your shirt, or having to rush because Caden is due for a nap, all those things. It was nice, we enjoyed it.... thank you Nik! :)

I've been working out the video process with my iPhone and soon I'll be able to have his video's posted in a quick manner.

I have a couple pictures of Caden playing with bubbles, here.

iTunes 8 - Genius not so smart

After reading about iTunes 8 new feature called Genius I couldn't wait to try it. Apple describes it as ".. a brilliant way to create perfect play lists. Play a song, click the Genius button, and iTunes creates a play list of other songs from your library that go great together..".

Well it doesn't. It doesn't do it very well. After updating Genius after the 8.0 install I loaded up the Rolling Stones and asked "Genius" to show me relevant songs. It failed and iTunes instructed me to update Genius and try again, if that failed then try another song from that artist. After updating Genius twice and picking three more Rolling Stone songs nothing worked.

I don't give up very easily so I loaded up Barry Manilows' It's A Miracle (as I type this CJ is IMing me saying "so, we need to talk... Barry Manilow?" LOL) and Genius worked. But how in the world does it match Barry with INXS, Marshall Crenshaw, Smash Mouth and even more so.. with Judas Priest!!?? Ah I think there is a problem here ;)

The face only...

... a Mother could love.... (ahyem) AND a Father could love ;)

A very tired...

bedtime.

iPhone winpwn'd then accessed

Sweetness is being able to get into your cell phone, pull off the video you just took and posting it online. Or just browsing and reading your file system. Either way it is fun fun fun and I was doing it tonight on the iPhone.

It was very simple. I jailbroke the phone with Winpwn, the loaded OpenSSH onto my iPhone, then connected to it via my laptop running XP with WinSCP and SSH. Bam! I was browsing my files in seconds.

In fact, I took this video from my phone as I was in the phone moving around and reading files.
