My dad’s birthday was about a week ago. Guess what I have gotten him almost every year for about a decade?
That’s a screenshot from my Amazon ordering history. Good thing Grisham, one of my dad’s favorite authors, writes a new book every year!

Yesterday we went to Wisconsin to go to my little brother’s 30th birthday party. Not so little! There were lots of family and friends. Lots of kids, actually, running around everywhere. We ate tons of food and desserts and drank a lot of beer. For some reason he got a lot of beer as gifts. We brought him Fat Tire and Oberon, two beers he can’t get in Wisconsin. We also got him an Amazon gift certificate. I thought he’d get a lot of gag gifts, but there was just one: a box of Just For Men hair dye from our cousin Kelly. All the other gifts were really nice. After the party died down a bit, the people who were left all played Rock Band, which was a gift from my sister-in-law, Amanda. My brother’s best friend, Brian, bought this random bag of liquor that we were drinking shots of later on. .. or at least I was, Dallas was our DD. It should also be noted that my brother has been growing his beard out for the month of November. You can track it on Facebook if you are his friend.
Question for Photographers: Does anyone know why my flash is throwing such a harsh shadow? Is it something I need to adjust on my camera? Or something that can only be fixed by getting an external flash? I don’t remember it being so bad before, but now it is making be crazy.

Amazon Universal Wish List
August 17th, 2008 · No Comments
A day or so ago I noticed a new feature on Amazon where you can add a button to your browser that allows you to add any item on any site to your Amazon wish list. Awesome. I love it. I’ve always had a lot of things on my Amazon wish list, many of them just reminders to myself of things I might be interested in, but I never had a good way to keep track of things that were not available on Amazon. Now that problem is solved. I always wondered when someone would think of a good way to make a universal wish list. Having the list on Amazon doesn’t bother me, since most everyone already has an Amazon wish list. When shopping for friends and family, most people direct me to their Amazon wish list, so now if they use the new feature things they want from other sites can be collected there too. For me, I’d direct people to Amazon because it’s the easiest and just know that if there were other things I wanted that no one would know. Now that problem is solved too.
Browsing on Sephora.com I see something I like so I click on the “Add to Wish List” button in my browser.
Clicking the button brings up a box where I can edit or add the information that will be added to my Amazon wish list.
After clicking “Add to Wish List” I can either stay on the Sephora site or go see my Amazon Wish List. If I go to the wish list I see that my Sephora item is added.
