Liam’s first Apple product?

Posted by Kevin, on October 19th, 2006

Well not quite – but pretty funny nonetheless. Grant and Bonnie got this “iPood” diaper shirt for Liam just after he was born. You probably can’t read it on the small photo to the left, but at the top of the ‘click wheel’ it says “change me”. Pretty clever if you ask me. Let me tell you, I was pretty happy to be able to put this on him, and so begins my first story about baby poo…

New Domain Name

Posted by Kevin, on October 13th, 2006

While chatting with Steve the other day about him purchasing a domain name for himself (which he did by the way – activesteve.com), he told me that he found a site that would sell you a domain name for $9.95 (Canadian no less!) and that included registration! The beauty part was that you could even get a .ca domain for the same price. For some reason, I’ve always found that .ca domain are more expensive…

Anyways, I decided that I could spare $10 and picked up haggerty.ca on a lark. I’ve pointed it here for now and am debating on whether or not I want to actually use it. What do you think – stick with haggaret.com or switch to haggerty.ca?

Update: Chris pointed out that I didn’t mention the name of the company I talked about above. It was Netfirms. While they are cheap, they don’t seem to offer the same level of features and service that I get from EasyDNS. If I do end up keeping haggerty.ca, I’ll likely switch it over to EasyDNS, even though it’ll cost me more.

Competitive Spirit

Posted by Kevin, on October 2nd, 2006

Liam was only 4 days old and already competing in an international competition. Saturday, here in town, there was an international breastfeeding competition and Liam and Amy took part. It was an attempt to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest number of babies breastfeeding at the same time. The majority of the participants (205 mothers and babies) were at the Bayshore Shopping Centre, but in-patients at the QCH (and 3 other area hospitals) were able to participate as well. As long as baby was on the boob breastfeeding at 1100 on Saturday (and had signed up to take part) then they counted towards the total. In the end, Ottawa came in 4th in North America. Not bad for his first international event. :)
