Rachael and Idara and I recently returned from Chiang Mai, Thailand. Here are a few things we learned along the way.

Rachael wanted Idara to have her last name, and I wanted her to have mine. We both had our reasons. Here's how we worked it out.

For the past four years I’ve been keeping a daily journal in an app called Simplenote, but because of the way I write, they're all out of order. Regex to the rescue!

After I finished my introductory programming class at Oregon State, I decided to assign myself a project that I could post about online. Enter the command line game Quirk, based on the board game Qwirkle.

I originally meant this post to be about how things have changed since Idara was born, but I only got as far as breastfeeding.

I just finished my last assignment for my first course in Oregon State's online computer science program. Here's a summary.

Last weekend Rachael and I took Idara on her first camping trip. Three months is probably too young for a first camping trip, but there was no way to be sure until we actually did it, so off we went.

Idara was born on Wednesday, September 7, 2016. Here's how we spent the next (and final) two days in the hospital.

After six days hanging out in the hospital, Rachael's water breaks. No more watching and waiting — it's time to have a baby.

Less than a week after the checkup that grounded us in the United States for fear of an early delivery, Rachael and I were on our way up to the hospital.
