My good friend Aaron in the news.

Aaron Wormus and Surej Kalathil are the other finalists. The two work at a West Palm Beach Internet and hedge fund consulting firm that has a Wii available to its employees at the office.

Wormus said there are certain tricks to Wii tennis.

"But not anything I want to give away," said the 29-year old programmer. "I will say, though, it's all in the wrist."

We took Liani and Arky out for the afternoon. Was really nice and sunny...more like mid-spring then mid-winter. We took a bag of bread and spent some time feeding the ducks and swans, then passed out about 30 tracts. Was a lot of fun, and a beautiful afternoon.

It's been a long time since I've actually seen you, but there are fond memories of hanging out with you and Nat. I was on my way to Africa and you warmly took me into your home, helped me find a job, took me shopping, lots of good advice and fun times together.
I'm glad that we didn't lose contact over the years, and it's been heart warming to see your family blossom and grow.
Here's to many more happy years for you and yours!
"You can not lose, if you keep up the fight".

Happy Birthday Loxy!

Liani came home this evening. I went to the train stop to pick them up and as soon as she saw me, she ran down the platform as fast as her little legs could carry her shouting "Dadddddyyyyyyyyy", and gave me the tightest hug. Such a love. I missed her so much. She had a great time, was a good girl, and has lots of stories to tell.

This morning I took the boys sledding. It's been a sad winter so far. No snow until yesterday and down here where we are, it's already turned to ice.
But up in Bäretswil, the snow is nice, there a small ski lift, and it's less then 15 min away.
Anyway, here's some clips from my cell phone. Crappy quality, but something...

Amazing art done with only a (or up to 14) blue ball point pen/s.

They may look like pin-sharp photographs - but these amazing pictures are actually drawings created with the humble ballpoint pen.

The stunning pictures, measuring up to 10ft high, were drawn by a rising star of the art world, Juan Francisco Casas.

Casas, 31, can use up to four 14p ballpoint pens for a canvas and his works are already a sell-out at exhibitions.

Formerly a traditional painter, Juan began the drawings three years ago based on photographs of nights out with his friends.
