Our New Child
As many (or all) of you know, Michal and I had a baby just over a month ago. Because of that, I thought you might want to see this:
Okay, so maybe you didn't want to see...

JCVD
You know there is something wrong in the world when I become excited about the new Jean-Claude Van Damme movie... but I am.
I just watched the new trailer for JCVD and it looks really good. It seems as if the over-hyped, overplayed, under-talented, Van Damme finally gets it (now that his career is over). No one really likes him as an actor or as an action star, it's just fun to watch him kick people. Now this new film comes out and allows people to laugh at him as he mocks himself. Unbenounced to the audience, however, he actually will be pulling off the best acting job of his life and producing a fun action flick (not just because he kicks people in the face) but because other people kick each other in the face too!
Hope this one pans out the way I want.
**** 4 stars (out of five) - Good, but still not great.

Tinger Thursday
You probably haven't seen this, and there is only one level available right now, but this is one fun (and beautiful) game. It's basically Mario or Sonic, but with a norse slant. Try it out at The Adventures of Tinger.

Sway
...and then for those looking for a song to fall asleep to, or to simply sit back and not do anything for 4 and a half minutes, listen to this one from Priscilla Ahn:
Dream

Zion
Unfortunately for my son, I am really into type. Unfortunately for me, the hospital would not put any special characters on the birth certificate (according to the State, Zion's middle name is simply spelled Bjorn). If I could have had my way, this is how his name would look (including no spaces).
...too bad...
