…ok, so ecto 3 has integration with flikr.com. What does this mean? It means that I should be able to include photo's in my posts like I've wanted to for sooooo long. So without adieu, here's my son, giving us the bird in the womb (yes, we now know he's a Chandler!).

That tiny little arm is indeed in a tiny fist with "The Finger" up. Now how's that for learning quick how to let people know you're not photo ready?

As a woefully piss poor webmaster, and blogger, I haven't yet posted the wonderful news that we're expecting. We've known for a while (since back in October actually) and both of us are really excited to say the least. Anyway, on Thursday, January 24th we went in for an ultrasound to check on the little fritter, very healthy, very sleepy and stuborn (definitely takes after Mom ;-), but after a little poking and prodding, squirming just right for us to tell it's a boy! So little Sean Matthew Chandler is doing well, at about 6.5" and around a pound, he's wiggling and giving mom a few little flutters, likes to sleep as evidenced by the ultrasound. They didn't get good enough looks at his heart and face so we'll go back in a month albeit a little later in the day so the little guy can wake up, to see some more views. Hopefully I can scan a few of the images and start a little gallery for him soon!

…I just realized the obvious incongruity that some of you may see in posting videos of myself, family, and friends shooting automatic weapons with a post preaching peace and arguing against the extremist views of islam and it's blind hatred and wanton jihad against the infidel's of the west. Yes, it is in a way taking opposing views, but you have to understand that we (meaning the people I hunt and shoot with) use guns as a way to get away from the stress of life for a while and return to nature, or to just watch an amazing piece of machinery at work destroying a tin can, water bottles or the occasional rusted out car. We don't condone violence or use of any of the guns we own against humans (well, I guess unless absolutely necessary ;-) Anyway, more fun and interesting gun videos on their way. Keep looking at this post because of the higher quality (640x480 30fps, which I'm sure will be highly degraded by YouTube) takes forever to upload. So they won't all be on for a few days. Fortunately no one really visits the news portion of the site too much so by the time anyone reads this the video's will be online.
