As a stockholder, it just isn't right for me to say this.... Oh well. Microsoft stinks.Derek, if you ever read this, I'm pissed right now so discard your already saved Linux Rulz! email and consider my state of mind.Microsoft has a lot of great things, but the important thing to me right now is Internet Explorer (IE). Turns out they patched IE to handle the word "embed" differently and now you, as a IE user, have to click on any piece of flash in order for it to run. Before we debate security and the impending doom of Microsoft, just do like everyone else has, and get firefox.Firefox is a new(ish) web browser, built by a group of people, and completely free. It is fully customizable and includes tabbed browsing. Checkout the picture below, I've got a bunch of webpages open, all in one browser, with a custom theme and weather at the bottom. One application. One space on my taskbar. One awesome web browser:
On a sidenote, I've been a devoted firefox user for quite some time now, ever since it was available. I just want to make sure all users can view our website, so I have to test firefox and IE. Drag.Don't forget to get firefox.
What a beautiful Sunday. First Watch for brunch, a relaxing car drive, mowed the lawn in the sun, talked to neighbors, washed the dog, updated the website. Now the fun begins as we head to the grocery to get some Brats, some Kraut, and some Spuds. AWESOME!
All is well in KC-Stouderland. We interviewed a possible daycare candidate and it went really well. Right now we are just praying for a smooth transition for Kelli, and for Hayden.
Speaking of the little man, he is doing great. One night last week he slept from 9:30pm to 4:00am. Kelli and I didn't know what to do. He is growing in size at an alarming rate. Last we checked he was 22" and 10 pounds, 14 ounces. That's 2 inches and 2 pounds, 13 ounces of growth in a month. Wait a minute? It has been a month?
My job is going great. I'm settling in, and really understanding how the software works. It will still take a few weeks of prep, with next week bringing a full week of training. I love going to work, like someone does with most new jobs. This time it is different, I don't think the new job bliss will wear off. What a blessing.
Please be sure to checkout the new pics of Hayden and our Easter trip to the Kidds' home.
Roll-Out!

Hayden Michael is doing great, as is mom. Schedule's are setting in, sleep deprivation has been stemmed, leftovers are now green...How great is our God? The song was playing during Hayden's birth, and SWCC played it this past Sunday at Hayden's first church service. It's becoming his song, and it is so very true.So many friends and family members are helping us it is simply overwhelming. We haven't had to cook for three weeks, three weeks!!! I'm spoiled! When a major issue comes up, we have many mentors, for both Kelli and I, with advice being a phone call, an email, or a visit away. We are so very thankful to all of those who have helped us, we will be forever grateful.Here's an updated picture of our little man:
This is what a job should be. Free vending machines. A slide from the 2nd to 1st floor. New laptop and blackberry on day one. Cisco VOIP, Cicso Wireless, Redundant T3 lines, walls that change colors, and on and on and on.
The hardest part for me right now is adjusting to the culture. The work is difficult and intense, but the atmosphere is incredible. I'm a little nervous about the dodgeball court...
Friday is company meeting day, and supposedly every newbie has to take a lap on the Segway. No. Please, anything but the Segway.
The level of intelligence of my teamates is staggering. I could sit in a coma for the next six months and, through osmosis, become twice as smart as I am now.
I'll be updating PSI's installed software base, which will soon be in huge demand as they release their first major release in over two years. Image Now 6.
The team I'm on is awesome; a good mix of talent and people. Our boss is laid back, but firm. She's a veteran of the company. She's been there five years!
I'd like to thank God and my family for hanging with me and encouraging me along the way. What an opportunity, and what a blessing.

Hope all is well!

Hayden Michael Stouder was born Tuesday, March 21st, 2006 at 5:15pm at Shawnee Mission Medical Center. Hayden weighed 8lbs 1oz and was 20in long. Mommy and baby are doing great and look forward to making the trip home tomorrow! We thank everyone for all well-wishes and prayers throughout the pregnancy, and continued support as we welcome Hayden Michael to our world. Love, Justin & Kelli
No more BLAM! This was the only solution, to use blogger... Turns out the guy that made our last blog disappeared. No one has heard from him since December, and Kelli and I were getting fed up with the BLAMMAGE.Please feel free to drop us a line!Love,Justin and Kelli
