Travel

Traveling now that Eva's here…

This past weekend I was in Las Vegas. I was actually in Vegas from Wednesday the 7th to Monday the 12th. With a baby one month old it was tough for this new Dad to be away. I even missed changing diapers. I really don’t want to miss a minute of Eva’s life. Going to work is tough and what is even tougher is that I travel as part of my job.

So what to do now that I’m going to be away from home for days at a stretch. I can only say that I am so glad that we live in the times that we do. Being able to communicate with my wife through a web cam or with a cell phone makes things much easier. And they can keep track of my comings and goings when I post to my blog as well as when I use services like Utterz. And Utterz is great for mobile blogging, which came in handy this week because I had no Internet in the hotel room.

I was able to spend some time talking with A & E over the webcam on Sunday. By Sunday I was dying to get home and still had to wait till my flight took off at 11:15pm. But again, lucky to live in the times that we do I was able to use my iPod and my Zune to keep all of my pictures of Eva so that I could look at them as a slide show. Yeah, I love being a technogeek father.

Music, Technology

iTunes for my kids..

In addition to reading I think my kids will benefit from music and I found a very interesting item at Babies R Us the other day that takes an iPod and attached it to some speakers that attach to a crib. The product is called the iCrib and it is by Munchkin (they make many rubber duckies, we have a ton). I saw it for $20.00 and I passed it by.

I was debating about getting it but after I heard about the Tech Juicer: Win A Brand New 8gb iPod Nano In Any Color! Contest I think I may head out and get the iCrib. Heck we have a ton of music for the baby and the iCrib would be a perfect item for the baby.

I have many chanced to win this contest too. And so can you. You can get 2 entries for each unique blog post about the contest. And you can get one entry for your comment on the contest post. But if you live in Belgium, Sweden, Norway, UK, and the Netherlands you can get even more entries into the contest. If you live there you can send texts to certain numbers and get 4 entries per text, and with that you can get an unlimited number of entries. Wow.

I may swing by Babies R Us and pick up the iCrib today. I have a lucky feeling about this contest.
