Calm, Cool, & Connected (and our family website)

I've been sitting on a little nugget of information for a couple of weeks until there was something tangible to share with everyone:

I was recently selected as one of the new bloggers for the Calm, Cool, & Connected blog. It was originally referred to as the "Mom Blog" because all of the bloggers were mothers that also worked for AT&T. As of last week, CCC added 4 new bloggers, two of which are dads, and one of which is me. I was asked to provide my point of view as an expectant and soon to be first-time father, covering numerous topics, but especially how our family is impacted by the prevelance of technology.

As of today, the first of the new bloggers' musings was posted (To Game, Or Not To Game?), and it just so happens to be one of mine. Please, take a look and be sure to visit the site as often as possible when you have a chance. Post comments, participate, and help us build the community. It will come as no shock to many of you that the first post has a little to do with gaming, but I promise to vary my subjects greatly. They'll be posting an introductory video blog I submitted soon - keep in mind the camera adds (at least) 15 pounds - and much more to come.

Occasionally, the site offers some sweet prizes. A month ago a Nokia E71 was given away.

Also, while you're at it and if you're interested, please take a look at the website and blog that I've put together for Amy and I as a way for us to keep everyone in the loop as to how things are going, and also to use as a keepsake for our family. Please feel free to comment on the blogs and provide any feedback you want to/can, and don't hesitate to share with anyone you think would be interested. We both appreciate it, and I especially appreciate constructive criticism.

Just Write is our site, and here's the blog direct link.

Outside of working ridiculous hours on not-so-much-fun work projects, this is the other reason I've been quiet the past 2 weeks. I think Peench said it best in that this is the kind of extra work I love doing.

Thanks buddy
No sooner did I post this for our PGL crew than did the kind folks behind CCC put up another great giveaway. You can win a BlackBerry Pearl 8110 by commenting on this CCC blog post. Read the rules, make sure your comments abide by those rules, and comment away PGL. The 8110 is a nice phone.

Nice work! I checked out the personal stuff. Very cool! If I had something to chronicle, I would do the same thing. It is a great idea, much like Wonder's 365 project.

I am not going for the 8110 for one of the same reasons why the iPhone doesn't interest me: I would hate to trade my excellent Verizon service for AT&T, no offense.

Thanks. I'm enjoying it myself as it's kind of a hobby aside from being something tangible for Amy and I.

No offense taken. I don't speak for AT&T, but as someone who happens to work for them, and is very happy with the service they provide and the products and services they offer.

Also, if you post comments and they don't show up immediately, don't let that frustrate you. Like most WordPress blogs, comments have to be approved before they appear as they can be spammed much like anything else on this crazy interweb.

left a comment how you're do cruel and unusual punishment to your consoles. Choosing the wife over gaming. The shame you must feel, the kind only Peench can know.

I saw and very much appreciate the comment. Our consoles are far from our biggest fans at the moment, but when the weather turns cold, we'll have a little more time to play them.

Nice fourth of July activities. At least it wasn't a scinge butt skin from launching a bottle from one's butt cheeks.
