i love this lady.

happy 29th to my freakin WIFE!!!!

Hey dudes,

Any advice?  When I try to burn photo cds after a few mins of burning, it ejects and says burn failed “cannot produce data” or “medium write error.”  Anything I can try before I take it in to the hell that is the Mac store in Manhattan?  I’ve tried different disc brands as well.

Thanks,

Ken

Just got engaged to Emilie.  More details to follow.  Stoked! XXX

So we have listed some of our favorite albums and whatnot of the year. However, the best thing in all of 2009, personally, was this little guy. Jill and I have wanted a family for a while now and we finally got it, thank to him. Added bonus: he’s damn adorable.

I want to thank everyone for their support and friendship this year while Jill was pregnant and after Milo was born. You made all of this so much easier as well as making 2009 a great year for us. Hopefully, Milo can have a few more friends arrive in 2010.

Here are the albums and movies that came out this year that I enjoyed enough to list here. Albums are listed alphabetically, except for Propagandhi which was my favorite record this year.
