While a few lucky individuals are going to be greeted with this Real Soon Now:


First Person Constructor - FPC

At 7:06am EDT Wednesday April 19th, I was greeted by this:


Third Person Baby - TPB

Can you guess which of us just did the equivalent of pushing a watermelon out of their bum? My wife is going to kill me if she finds out I posted this. So let's just keep this between you and me, OK?

He's come a month early so we're still narrowing down a name for him. So far we have: Atlas, Shader, Dif and Tim Aste.

Between Marble Blast Ultra and now babies, work on Constructor is really taking a beating. I suppose this latest development gets Matt off the hook for his public display of scheduling. :o)

And now we begin the onslaught of hallucinations brought on by the sleep deprivation of taking care of a two-and-a-half year old and a new born. Oh look, I just won the best dress award at the Oscars! I'd like to thank all the little people that made this possible...

Congratulations man! I love the baby names btw :)

Atlas, ftw!

Brian Hill   (Apr 21, 2006 at 03:06 GMT)
A boy?

Pack this small piece of advice away for 16 years or so: Learn to block with your left and trap with your right while simultaneously giving the "Dominant Silverback" gaze at the same time. Works great. You'll understand this when and if it become necessary.

(I just became a grandpa this year...kinda scary...all over again...)

Good Luck!

I'd go with Dif. Atlas is good but it is real name so it's not as good (the Greek Titan). I feel left out, seeing as I won't be being greated by that screen. :(

Ian Roach   (Apr 21, 2006 at 03:14 GMT)

hahahaha, although I think your wife would kill you for even suggesting it, then again going for "Tim Aste Wyand" might get you a lifetime subscription to the Tim Aste fan club ;)

Congratulations Dave - now quickly finish Constructor - because like me you will have absolutely no time for projects! I am currently working on a stasis time machine to get some time back while people are asleep ;-) But the 36 hour days are killing me :P

Congratulations, Dave and Mrs. Wyand!

I don't know why but seeing the pic made me think of that Dairy Queen commercial thats on tv right now.

I'm sure you already are, but turn the computer off and take some family time.
