I suppose it would be the ego.  Yes.  Definitely the ego. So what's been happening lately?  Work.  Lots and lots of work.  So much so that as soon as the day is done ... http://www.danlerner.net/2008/07/08/golly-its-been-a-while/ Now the scale of the flooding in Janesville is no where near the scale of what has happened in Iowa, but the images and movies are still pretty compelling: Flooding (videos follow the jump)...

Sometime midmorning I took a break from my work to wander out to the living room where she and Micah were playing.  She looked up at me from where she and ... http://www.danlerner.net/2008/05/11/first-toothsort-of/ I've converted the video of Micah eating her cupcake to a little video. Just to warn you, it's about 10 minutes of face smashing goodness.  It's also 71 Megs, so it may take a while to run.  So if you're bored and patient, you can click on the "More" button to ... http://www.danlerner.net/2008/05/06/micahs-birthday-video/ Micah's First Birthday Party http://www.danlerner.net/2008/05/05/birthday-photos/ I even wrote a new one.  They're in the archive. http://www.danlerner.net/2008/05/04/newsletters-are-back/ Ok, to all of you out there who tried to call to wish Micah a happy birthday tonight between the hours of 6:30 and 8:30 PM Central:  Micah is unable to take your call right now as she's having the biggest hissy-fit ever.  She will gladly babble into the phone ... http://www.danlerner.net/2008/05/02/one-year-later/ In the mean time we're cleaning house!  After all, there's a party to plan for. http://www.danlerner.net/2008/04/30/someday-ill-have-time-to-post/ I've given up.  I will give in.  I will submit to the will of our hosting overlords and put my pictures on a third party hosting site.  And because I love Picasa so...

Granted, that theme apparently comes with some entry language that was poorly translated from german, but I'm working on that. Gallery continues to not work.  False alarm http://www.danlerner.net/2008/04/20/kind-of-working/ For once I'm not talking about myself. I'd actually debated whether or not I was going to post this story.  On the one hand, there's the potential for completely humilating my father, whom I love in a public space viewed by literally tens of people. On the other hand, it's quite funny ... http://www.danlerner.net/2008/04/20/never-gonna-live-this-one-down/ I’ve had all sorts of problems uploading to the gallery today.  So finally like any good geek I decided to delve deep into the code and try to fix it.
