I don’t spend as much time on Facebook as I used to. And so it’s been a while since I went to the familylink app to update things. I clicked on it today, and noticed a funny thing. I was no longer on Facebook and it wanted me to login to a totally different site. So I clicked on the familylink app link in the Facebook bookmarks pane. Now, they wanted permission to use (steal) my email address (thanks for exposing that Facebook). I said NO, and then they tried to be sneaky and get me to update my personal info, which included my email address. I entered my name, and skipped the email, then they wanted permission to pull info from facebook. It was then that I realized I was no longer on Facebook (again). I promptly went to ‘authorized apps’ on Facebook, removed the familylink app, and gave them a 1-star rating. I don’t need another site to keep track of, I don’t like giving out my email address, and I wish they would go back to being a real Facebook app where I can see all my relatives that are on Facebook. Thanks Familylink. Thanks for making a pile of poop.

Jesusmas 2009
It’s really easy to forget what Christmas is all about, so the title is an extra reminder. We had a great Christmas, and while I got some really nice gifts, my dad had one of those moments again. He said, “we need to be thankful for friends and family, that’s what’s really important, not all the material stuff.” Don’t know if I can really expand on that too much, but I just want to take a moment to mention some of the ‘important’ things I’m thankful for before I post some pictures of all the presents and such. I’m thankful for my wife, and my parents, and my sister, and my cousins (all of them, even Afton…). I’m thankful for the little girl that’s on the way, and I’m thankful for my friends, at work, at church, and anywhere else. And I’m thankful for Scooter, Roo, and Oliver.

girl
It’s a girl! And not a puppy this time. As mentioned before, due in late May. The ‘awesome’ ultrasound machine was broken today, but we still got to see some pretty neat things. She was sucking on her fingers for a bit, and yawned several times. We got to see her little heart pumping away at 153 beats per minute, and even were able to see the four chambers of her heart. It was incredible the amount of detail that could be seen, even with ‘old technology.’

review
A couple of my cousins posted their Christmas letters on their blogs, so I figured I’d follow suit, sort of. I actually put together a little photo collage that we sent out this year, but in case you didn’t get one (sorry), here it is:
For more details, you can of course read back through my blog posts for the year. The side project I started, God Impact, is going quite well also. I’ve only missed one day (except for yesterday, when I forgot to hit the publish button).
We’ve also had a lot of exciting things happening at our church, and there’s a little info over at www.glendiveag.org.

work
Seems a lot of my posts lately have been about stuff I’ve been doing at work. This one is going to follow in that tradition, even if it is Christmas. Maybe I’ll write something about Christmas later too…
At any rate, my assistant (not a secretary) left last week for greener (maybe bluer is proper here) pastures at Miles Community College. We’ll miss him dearly (I already do, it gets lonely on the IT Island). As such, we’re hiring. If you’re looking for a job working with computers, maybe this will be a Christmas present for you. If you’re interested, go to DCC employment opportunities and send in the required application materials.
