DIY Hippopotadock

Last month Josh blogged about our friend Jonathan’s Brachiosaurus iPhone dock.

Josh and I both loved the idea, and so we picked up some toys of our own to make docks out of. Josh’s dock is still in progress, but he made this awesome Hippopotadock for me today. Armed with a Dremel, he created a thing of beauty and made me the iPhone dock of my dreams.

UPDATE:

The Hippopotadock was featured in a blog post at iPhone Savior. By their suggestion we took a trip down to the pond by our apartment and risked the well being of Josh’s iPhone for this shot.

Øre Update

Good news everyone! I have located the 50 Øre coin!

50 Ore

On our honeymoon we spent a day at Disneyland, where we found this coin. It was on our seat on the Matterhorn Bobsleds. I thought I had lost it forever, until today when I found it. It’s a good day.

Hot N Cold

Today Katy Perry’s version of “Hot N Cold” was playing at work and it made me think back to this amazing video. The band is Los Colorados and they are Ukrainian.

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Rebecca!

When it comes to people, there’s no one I like more than my gorgeous and talented wife, Rebecca. And when it comes to Rebecca, there’s no day thats more her birthday than August 30th. Thats right, today is the day that Rebecca and I will gorge ourselves on Magnolia cupcakes in honor of the day she was born.

Becca's On A Boat!

Fun Fact: You’d think after being together for nearly a decade I would have realized Becca’s natural prowess with a bow and arrow. You’d think that, and you’d be wrong. Watching my wife take aim is like watching an artist lift brush to canvas—it is truly a sight to behold.

Ready, aim...

Happy Birthday, Rebecca. You’re my favorite.
