Like father, like son

He'll sleep through anything. I just hope he never falls asleep when there's a tornado warning... He'll never wake up in time. Mind you, I should have seen it coming, his brother is exactly the same!

Apparently Bill knew the iPad would be a hit

So why didn't he do anything about it? Why didn't he come up with the iPad?

Today the dream starts again.

Carwash conspiracy theory

I'm pretty sure I will get sent death threats for divulging this information. What I have just worked out will be big news. So big, I don't expect this web site will be online for much longer. All hell will break loose once I reveal it. It's the information 'THEY' don't want you to know but I'm prepared to make that sacrifice for the good of humanity. Without further ado, here it is;

When you are done washing your vehicle and you are just rinsing it off with 'clear' water, the car wash company is secretly injecting more soap into the stream to make you spend more time rinsing it off, thus making you just short of time to finish. Then you have to put in another token to finish the job. Seriously. I just went over that piece of my truck with the sprayer but mysteriously as I move on it looks like it's still soapy! Why? Because of the little soap injections always making you think you missed a bit!

Ayden sleeping and sucking his thumb By Shauna Williams

via qik.com

First off, don't freak out about Ayden sleeping on his front. He is almost 3 months old and can lift his head and actually turns it from side to side while he is sleeping. Secondly, we don't put him to sleep like this overnight. At the moment he is still sleeping in his bassinet beside our bed. Up until recently we have had a hard time putting him down to sleep anywhere let alone his own bed. It seems that whenever we get him asleep, as soon as we lay him down on his back in his bed or on the couch or wherever, within 2 minutes he's awake. I decided to try and lay him down on his front one day as he always seems to fall asleep on my chest. Low and behold, he stayed asleep. We have the baby monitor beside us at all times and also go in to his room just to make sure he is still breathing :)
Well this last time I checked on him he had switched the side he was laying on and also started to suck his thumb.

Being injured is fun

As part of the ongoing saga that is the is it/isn't fractured ankle debate between medical people, the resulting influence on me us that I am required to do modified duties. Thankfully I expressed an interest to the right people in video editing. This has lead to me to enter the inner sanctum of Shaw TV. I'm allowed beyond the black curtain and pass the red on-air light.

And what did I find behind the forbidden curtain? Actually a very cool studio. It's called a working studio which means items are filmed in studio with reporters and other busy people working in the background. Four big studio cameras are prominent in the middle of the room underneath two vast hanging lighting rigs.

My first and third days have been spent with Brad updating the Shaw web site. When the stories have been edited for TV, they are also compressed for the web and stored on a central drive. We then add the video to the sections of the Shaw site and link to other sites as appropriate.

One afternoon was spent sitting in with the editors. This, I loved. As a part time, amateur, basement editor myself it was great to see REAL professionals at work. I was surprised to learn that they only recently switched over to using Final Cut Pro on Macs, within the last year. Seeing as my Mac Pro is newer than the ones they were using I was not surprised that mine was more loaded then theirs.

Since then I have been working full time on the web site. Brad has been busy with the in studio stuff which left me available to work on it.

UPDATE: I have been given a date to have an MRI, March 19th. It will be close to eight weeks since the injury at that time.

ME!!!!!!!!!!

Is it fractured?

So, against my better judgement last Thursday,(14th) my son convinced me to jump on a thin piece of plastic called a crazy carpet, the name of which should have been a giveaway from the start. The target was at the bottom of a steep bank that had already been well groomed by other young 'uns probably on their snow boards or other such death traps similar to the aforementioned carpet. A jump had been nicely packed and sculpted at the point of maximum velocity to take full advantage.

Well needless to say my jump did not go as I had previously envisioned in my head. As I approached the take off point, the carpet started to spin around as if it itself was too scared of what lay in wait. The result? My right ankle digging in to the upslope and dislodging me from the plastic mat in a dismount that would have been awarded with a 9.0 9.0 9.5 9.5. After the immediate few seconds of self realization that it was a bad idea to begin with, my focus was drawn to the stabbing pain in my ankle which even after a few seconds was twice the size it normally is.

After crawling on hands and knees back to the origin on the incident I called Shauna to come and drive me home. I've twisted my ankle before, no big deal.

Jump to three days later and the purple blue bruising around my still ballooned ankle. Hmmm, it never did that before. But I still decided it would go away and all would be fine so I went back to work. After three days of working I realized it wasn't going away and it was still hurting, more so by the end of the day. A trip to the doctors office is what I needed.

As it turned out on the day I chose to visit the doctor, Shauna also had a doctors appointment to check the pregnancy was all going ok. When we finally arrived at the medi-center, we were told the wait time would be close to an hour and it was already after one o'clock. I decided to go back the next morning.

I arrived at the medi-center at 8:45 and still ended up waiting over an hour to see my doctor. After pulling and pushing on my ankle he decided that I needed to go for x-rays to be sure that nothing was fractured. Finally at around one o'clock, after examining the x-rays he deduced that it was just a bad strain and that I would be in some pain for two to three weeks. And just as a precaution, the radiologist would also look at the pictures to double check fir minor cracks.

It was just about six when the phone rang. It was my doctor. Apparently the radiologist found a fracture in my heel bone and that I would have to return to the medi-center tomorrow to get a air boot and may be off work on short term disability for four to six weeks.

New drop box

In my continuing effort to make it simple for anyone to send me photos, movies or anything that will keep me from being forgotten, I have created a new drop box tool. It's located in the left hand navigation menu. Follow the instructions and send me some up to date photos so that I am kept in the loop and not thought of as, "Out of sight, out of mind".

Our new addition

Here is a ultrasound photo of little baby Williams.
