Hobbyns

If you still visit this pathetic excuse for a blog… my apologies. So much is happening, or about to happen, or indeed, has already happened that I sincerely can say that I haven’t had the time. I’m still planning to make something of this, but it’s still in the development stage. Still, it’s my son Collin’s third birthday tomorrow. Can you believe it, he’s already three? It’s been two years and change before we finished that chapter and went on the next one. Time flies.

Because we’re about to embark on a visa trip where we can usually get far far cheaper toys than here in Mexico, we’ll be having a birthday party for Collin, but we’ll be postponing the gifts until we get to the US. We’re guessing the little fella’s not really going to notice, and I offer as evidence this masterful and utterly hilarious ode from the the master himself, Dave Barry. Granted theirs was a two-year-old party, but it pretty much applies to three-year-olds as well. I mean, come on, Aidan and Jolene have been looking forward to Collin’s birthday more than Collin has!

Anyways, we’ll be back for more fun and frolic, and with more blog coverage, very soon. Stay tuned.

Two new tunez to groove to are over at Translated Music. You can’t miss’m as they’re splashed on the front page. Go get them and groove to them, like, now. They’ve also added JayDee and KON to the Translated group, so we can look forward to more quality content, and most importantly, more quality music. Rock on, guys!

And I’m still not even technically online yet.

Still, tradition is tradition. So… Happy belated birthday to my two very good and dearly missed friends, Jeremy and Kenji. You guys seriously have rocked, and will continue to rock, for all time. With your excellent personalities, charisma, and friendship… even though this is a few bytes on the intertron that perhaps no one will see, I’m proud to be your friends for now and always.

Good guys. Now run out and get me a beer.

I’m not really blogging yet, but this article is cool. Wow, who would of thought of using this avenue as a means of spreading the Good News? Oh wait. We did. Decades ago. I’m still thinking it’ll make a comeback in the Family, but in a different incarnation.

If you’re seeing this now… you know… before launch, then just know that it’s not finished. I’m figuring out the style sheet and some customizations, as well as the link list and all that jazz. Basically I’m trimming my blogroll to sites I actually visit (Mike, where the heck are you?) instead of being the grand central yellow-pages the site once was. It’s easier to manage that way, and there are better sites for the end-all-be-all of link lists out there now anyway… and when I find them I’ll let you know (yes, I know where they are, I think, but I’m too tired to go searching for them right now.)

Thanks Steve for getting me back online!

Well here is the new incarnation of Hobbyns online. Let’s see if we can’t string some interesting words together into coherent sentences, jah?
