Obama’s Health Care Plan — Discussion
By Kasey in: Politics
13 Aug 2009
We are talking with friends to discuss Obama’s Health Care plan. We tasked ourselves with homework assignments that included finding out the facts of the bill on our own & talking with our informed friends & family members in the hopes of bringing in outside perspectives as well.
Within this group of friends there are all different perspectives on the health care plan, but we all fee it’s difficult to sift through what is presented in the media & online to find the facts.
Patrick has found most of his information at http://www.opencongress.org/. Let us know if there are any great sites out there that you are using to find the facts.
Patrick & I would love to hear from you!! Share your thoughts in a comment please!

TV Win
By Patrick in: Entertainment
22 Jul 2009For years I’ve wanted Kasey to watch AND enjoy “Band of Brothers” — all 10 episodes. Her response has always been that it would be boring or that she’d already seen it (barely true: she saw some of them while talking through them).
A breakthrough! We watched the first two and she’s interested. Currahee!
So that’s bragging rights, my friend. My wife has watched AND likes “Band of Brothers”. Hopefully I haven’t spoken too soon; we’ve yet to make it through all of them.
In related news, “The Pacific” is due out in 2010. It’s the follow up HBO mini-series about America’s battle with the Japanese during WWII. It’s also thought to be the biggest budgeted TV show ever.

Nerd Conference & Tristan’s Collar
29 Jun 2009This weekend I went to WordCamp Dallas — a conference for WordPress geeks like myself. It’s an assortment of nerdy bloggers and uber-nerdy web designers.
I loved it. For those that don’t know, I’m a web designer, but more specifically I use WordPress to power all of my websites. Most people know WordPress as blogging software, but it can be a lot more than that and that’s what I do with it.
Also, Kasey bought Tristan a new, hot pink collar. Ugh.
Here’s what she thought about it:
