I will be wandering around at LinuxWorld in San Francisco tomorrow. I’ll be shamelessly wearing a Clear Ink T-Shirt.

New Clear Ink Web Site
Clear Ink, the company for which I am Chief Techologist, recently (and finally!) implemented a redesign. For anyone who wondered why I wasn’t mentioned before–I am now!
Clear Ink has been very successful in the past couple of years. The digital marketing industry has heated way up and we’re up to our ears in business. We’ve been doing some really amazing work with screencasts and novel Web applications. I’ve got a such a great, talented group of technologists reporting to me. I feel very fortunate to have found them, especially as I haven’t been able to find acceptable candidates to interview for the current open position. (If you’re a Windows/Linux desktop admin looking to learn how to program, contact me).

Henry is now 7lbs 8oz
Our little guy is now 7 pounds and 8 ounces! It’s really incredible. He’s gained two pounds in less than three weeks. You can see in this picture that he’s starting to get a little chubby from all the momma milk. It’s great!

Insanely Hot!
Current conditions in Martinez are as follows.
Fair 107°F Humidity: 20% Wind Speed: 8 MPH Barometer: 29.81 in. Visibility: 10 mi
I can’t remember it ever being this hot so many days in a row (although, Vicky reminded me of a day maybe 8 years ago when it was 115 outside and north of 90 in the house). It never got below 70 all last night. Our air conditioner can’t keep up, but at least it’s keeping the inside below 80.
We’re all adjusting to the new family configuration. Tre is adjusting to having less attention from his mom as she takes care of the newest member. I’m adjusting to taking care of Tre all day. It’s definitely a full-time job. We’re trying to keep busy with little projects. A couple of days ago we climbed all the way to the top of “Nazi Hill”, a steep hike straight up the hills behind our house. Tre walked the whole way. It took us an hour and a half.
Vicky’s adjusting to taking care of a newborn again, and recovering from the birth. She still can’t bend down well yet, but this birth wasn’t very tramatic to her body. So, she’s doing much better than last time when she had stitches. Her body is synched with Henry’s schedule, so she’s waking up every three hours or so to feed. And, lucky me, I don’t wake up with them.
Henry is adapting to being outside in a big world with bright lights. He’s really doing well. He’s now ten days old. The issue with jaundice has passed. We had a visit from nurse, a standard service from John Muir Health, and we found that he’s up a few ouces from his birth weight.
We’ve had several comments from doctors and nurses that Henry has done amazingly well considering how early he was. Our theory is that it was breastfeeding Vicky put in. Henry also gets lots of holding, touching and talking to.
