Lucas’s August Update

Interviewed at the fair by Gnooze.com

I twittered recently about being interviewed at the fair by the website Gnooze.com. Here’s the whole video:

Blue Screen of Death at Olympics

This is really funny. I was wondering how they were projecting all the way around the stadium at the Bird’s Nest at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I was guessing it was one huge computer or a network of computers working together. Well, now there’s more details. It seems they were using Windows :) Here’s some proof… pictures of the blue screen of death during the opening ceremonies.

Laptop For Sale

I’ve had this laptop since it was brand new. I paid around $3,000 for it at CompUSA. It’s having some power issues and I don’t want to deal with it. I switching to Apple. I haven’t tried a new battery yet. I’ve upgraded the ram to 1.5 GB. I also had a free upgrade to Vista Home Premium but didn’t use it. The Product keycode is on a sticker on the bottom. There is also a product key code for XP Media Center Edition.

What’s for Dinner – Pulled Beef Sandwiches

Yay! We’re Pregnant! Due March 12th

Yes, I’ve been keeping a secret from you for 2 weeks. Even had to lie a couple times :) But after a year of trying (wow, it was so difficult <-- sarcasm) God has blessed us with another child! We don't know what it is yet 'cause it's too early to tell, and I'm not sure if I want to know. We didn't find out last time and it's kinda nice. Then you don't buy the wrong color or call the baby by name during pregnancy and then find out they were wrong! If you don't know already, we already have a son, Denver, who will be 2 when the new baby is born. His website is www.DenverPorter.com

Also, if you didn’t know, Brooke gets very sick when she is pregnant. We’ve found out a few ways to make it better but it’s still pretty rough the whole nine months. Also, if you’re one of our iPhone website fans, you’ll notice this is why she’s been writing less lately. We’re working on a plan for this :) We’d appreciate you’re prayers as it will be very hard for her to run an at home business, take care of one child and the home, and be sick all the time. We’re also praying every day for the safety of this child, we’ve had one miscarriage before but we trust that God has a greater plan!

I thought it would be fun to post all the replies I’m getting from my text/twitter about our announcement. My message I sent out was the same as the title of this post: Yay! We’re Pregnant! Due March 12th, here’s the replies:

MacBook Touch

Ok, so I love the iPhone, but I think I know what I would love more. The MacBook Touch. This is of course all rumors right now, but if it has a gesture library, full Mac OS X, haptic keyboard, slot-loading SuperDrive, Accelerometer, GPS and more I’m in! You know what would be even better, blue tooth connection to my iPhone on the 3G network! Ok, so I’m dreaming, but please Apple, please deliver!

Dammage from storms

Here are some pictures from the recent storms in Ankeny. There were confirmed 80mph winds… We woke up to tornado sirens that night.
