Lukas’ 1st Birthday Party
Memorial Day weekend, we took a drive up to northern NJ (and our old stomping grounds) for baby Lukas’ 1st birthday party. Friends Kanishk and Sofi put together a really nice backyard birthday party for their son Lukas. There was this … Continue reading
New iPod and portable speaker purchase
We had a small get-together of friends this past Saturday, and we knew that we sorely could use some background music. We went looking at Target last Friday night before the party, and picked out a 16 GB Apple iPod Nano … Continue reading

I am slaying the spider’s web of home office cables using UT Wire Flexi Cable Wrap

Drumroll please – We bought a new vacuum cleaner – the Electrolux Precision Brushroll Clean
Our poor Dyson DC07. We’ve had it for eight long years, but it’s been dying a slow death. It was expensive, but you could tell it was born of great engineering. I still wasn’t crazy about the exorbitant pricing, however. … Continue reading
