Head over to this journal for a great contest being done by  selwolf!

Yeah, I'm mostly lurking on FA for the most part. With two kids, my job and my hobbies taking up most of my free time I'm rarely around.

So the update:

RJ is 1 year old in a week.
I have a full photography studio set up in our basement that I use my Nikon D4 to do portraits and some more....racy....photography. For outings I take my D3200 and a couple of my lenses from the D4 with me.
I am the manager of hosting services for a web hosting company now. Between the sales of 4 apps I created (which is how we paid for the house and my D4) it's mostly just used to give us spending money.

To all the haters out there: While you scorn us, look down on us and hate us...you're still living in your parents' basement or a homeless shelter or still giving blood just to get a meal instead of having a real job. We win, you lose. Shouldn't have believed all of the hype, eh?

RJ was born at 4:45PM and weighed 5lbs 15oz. He's doing just fine and he and mommy are resting comfortably. I have a son and daughter now that I love very much. This makes me very, very happy.

Here's hoping that 2013 brings you cheer, love and happiness from Wolfie, the Kat, our cub and the one on the way!

Merry Christmas to everybody on my FA list and to your families. May the spirit of the season fill you and yours with love, caring and an appreciation for each day that you awaken.

It's not bad...but it's not as good as regular Guinness.

Today my wife had her ultrasound so we could find out what she's having. It's a boy!

Went out and picked up my new Macbook Pro today. I missed working on OS X and I love Mountain Lion, for sure!

So today the wife had her yearly Doctor's appointment. She's quite well however she did find out that now...we're having baby #2!

Yep, she's having another cub! *smiles proudly*

Will update more info when we find out.

RIP Michael Clarke Duncan. You made us cry in The Green Mile, and made us laugh in Talladega Nights. 12/10/1957 - 9/3/2012

A wonderful artist on my watch list has done the mascot cartoon for my business. He will now grace business cards, the web site and the Facebook page.

My computer/website business is launching a new apps division and I'm looking for a mascot of a leopard holding a smartphone. Must be full color and professional looking. No background. Send me a note for more details.

This design will be used in print ads, website graphics and business cards.

Filed our suit in local court on a couple of matters that have been on my back. Since the U.S. claims to have ownership over any domain ending in .com in copyright matters, even if hosted overseas and that has been upheld in Federal court, I plan on asking the courts to seize the domains. This should be fun.

My wife's and my 2 year wedding anniversary is next Tuesday and I'm thinking of getting a nice colored, 2 character, simple background commission done. Anyone interested or know a good artist that might be?

They say revenge is best served cold. It's time.

Edit: Nah, I don't want my ideas out in public. I think it's more fun to watch this unfold in the shadows.

I decided to get a new laptop and I'll tell you, it's awesome! 1TB HDD, 8GB RAM, quad core processor and it's HUGE! Dude, I got a Dell!

Retained a law firm over in Hannover, Germany to handle the ongoing issues with previous journal over there and retained one here.

So over on a wiki site I was featured in an article that is quite bothersome. It lists my personal details which, although factual, can cause a security and safety issue for my newborn daughter (she's 4 months old and 14 lbs now!) since it gives links to my address and such. It is also damaging since it comes up in Google searches (and I was told this did cost me a job by the owner before I got my current gig).

After contacting the site owner about removing it, I was basically told to pee up a rope. I have since sent Right of Publicity takedown notices to their host, Hetzner Online, which takes a strong stand against this kind of thing based off of US (Ohio and the owner's state both recognize it) and German laws (section 12 of the BGB (Germany's Civil Code)). Wikipedia is covered against these things since they cannot "control what their users do", however, this site has no protection since this was done by the site owner and not a user. He is also the owner of the domain according to a WHOIS/ARIN look-up.

I'm not proud of my history, but the "neutrality" of the article is at issue here. In it is posted nothing but negative things. There is no mention of my 17 years on the fire department, my 6 years as an EMT, my 4 years as an ARES responder. No mention of my volunteered time for domestic violence work before I got in trouble or volunteering at a NARHA certified riding center.

What ever happened to someone being able to rehabilitate? Is that dead in today's society? Apparently to them it is.

About all I can say is "lulz, furries".

I coded this from scratch. My boss is doing the narration/playing.

Talking to a great local band to record particles for our project. It'll be released in a lite version on Friday to the Android Market! We have a venture capital provider offering $250,000 to get the company rolling.

Got confirmation that my new bass and amp will be delivered later today. Got the new tablet up and running better than expected. It's a Samsung Galaxy 10.1. We got a bunch of stuff for Chelsea, too. Wolfie got her new iPod case ordered from eBay for her new iPod Touch.

This new job pays great and I am so glad to be a part of this project.

2011 sucked.

Bad:
Legal troubles
Roomates stealing our stuff
Lost our truck

Good:
Had a baby (she's getting big!)
Got a job as the CTO of a game company startup

Hope 2012 is better!

Boss is heading over with my tablet now. Just found out I am being offered the position of CTO with this game company.

Project coming along well. If completed successfully I get interviewed to be the CTO of this startup game company.

Not us so much as the little one Wolfie is holding. We have to pay to replace things. We won't do that because we have to take care of our daughter. The things that were stolen were just stuff, but that's the kind of people we were dealing with. We made mistakes but then they felt they had to be "better than the law" and take more of our things per this journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2962450/
