I' ve got a couple a minutes during my lunchbreak so I thought I would pass along a few fun links.
Ever wonder how fast food ads compare to the actual food? Click here to see the ugly results.

Video mashups are one of my favorite things about the internet. This one combines Anchorman with 300.

A new race is being introduced at our local county fair. No word yet on if being pushed by a grandparent or great uncle will lead to disqualification.

If you aren't watching 30 Rock yet then shame on you. Here are the Top 10 moments of the show so far. By the way, I disagree with the #1 spot. Yes, it was funny but not the best moment and the clip shown really does not do the humor of the situation justice.

Finally, here is a site that links to a few Youtube chronologically correct versions of the plane crash from Lost.

Dillon's Big Weekend, Part 2
The weather was nice enough to enjoy most of the party outside.
Nice apron, Giants fan.
Dillon ready to dig into his birthday cakes.
Grandma Sharon making one of the cakes. Aunt Jennifer iced the other cake.
Nothing gets my family together more than food.
"Finally they let me eat my cake."
Grandpa Mike helping Dillon with one of his many gifts.
I have to post pictures like this when I make Laker's playoffs bets.

Dillon's Big Weekend, Part 1
Here are some pictures of last weekend. Tomorrow I will post some of his party.
Dillon's first present of the weekend was this tractor from Uncle Larry. You can't tell from the picture but the tractor has pedals on it. Unfortunately, Dillon is too little to reach them so someone had to push Dillon up and down the driveway. Fortunately, Uncle Larry, Pops, and Papa were more than willing to push him.
Pops and Uncle Larry finally got tired of pushing Dillon on his tractor so they put him in the back of the truck, which he still thoroughly enjoyed.
"Look, Mom! I got to stand on the truck tires with my bare feet!"
Kaleb, Taylor, and Dillon. I guarantee this picture puts a smile on Grandma Sharon's face.

One Down, Seventeen to Go
Dillon celebrated his first birthday on Saturday. It seems like only yesterday we were at the hospital, anxiously awaiting his arrival.
I know many of you are awaiting pictures of Dillon and his party but you will have to wait. Christina and I are still recovering from all the company we had over the weekend. I promise to post pictures throughout the next couple of days.

First Steps
This weekend I had one of those cool proud dad moments. While playing with my Aunt Teri, Dillon decided he would take his first steps. The first reaction was, "Did he just walk?" The second reaction was to grab the video camera. (I'm having trouble with my computer because it is not allowing me to upload video to Youtube. Once I figure it out I will post the video to the blog.)
Now Dillon gets overly excited when we try to get him to walk to me or Christina. He begins to giggle, which throws off his balance, and he goes tumbling down. Nothing is cuter.
Pictures of Dillon follow the two TV links below.

Wednesday is the season finale of Lost. Catch up on season 3 with this hilarious review. (Beware, it appears as if the whole thing is from a text message yet it is really funny.)

With this you are one step closer to earning an extra five minutes on your break.

"Forget that walking thing I just learned. I'll stick with flying!"

Day 2: Venturing Out
Any one who has spent even a little bit of time with me knows that I am extremely picky with my food. However, tonight I will be trying Thai food. Michelle and James are going to meet us tonight for dinner and will take us to a great Thai restaurant. (It is probably the same restaurant Adam recommended to me earlier today.) I have heard Thai is spicy and I do like spicy food so I have hopes it will turn out better than the time I tried salad.

Never get a hotel room with an eleven month old. If you do make sure you get a suite with a room so you can close the door when it is bed time for the baby. We made this mistake and was forced to put the portable crib in the bathroom so we didn't have to go to bed at 8:30. The downside to this was I had to walk to the hotel lobby to use the restroom.

Is there an invention yet that keeps you from getting second degree burns from placing a laptop on the lap?
***
Friday night I am going to the A's-Indians game. I realized last night the Warriors-Jazz game will be going at the same time right next door. I am expecting a circus because last night during the TNT post game show Charles Barkley hinted about being in the Bay Area on Friday. Should be fun.

Day 1: In the Books
The first day of the conference is now over. Christina, Dillon and I drove over to the UC Berkeley area to walk around and eat dinner. My favorite sight was a guy wearing a shirt in response to Charles Barkley's latest anti-Bay Area rants on TNT. Since this is a family website I can only give clues as to what it said. Clue #1: it was two words that rhyme. Clue #2: the second word is a common nickname for the name Charles.

Congrats to Craig for making the Vancouver Canucks website.

As a Lost fan, I am encouraged by the recent announcement that the show will only be on for three more shortened seasons. The show has really hit it's stride since coming back from their winter break. It is nice to know that questions will be answered and the writers will not have to drag out storylines because the network is in favor of keeping the show on the air just because it is a hit.

Dillon turns 11 months old today. I can't believe he is almost year old already.

Live From Berkeley
I am live blogging (ever wonder why "live blogging" is the new trend in the blogosphere? Isn't any post live when you post it?) from Berkeley, California. I am currently in the hotel lobby taking advantage of the free wireless internet, listening to OK Go on my iPod. The conference is for the MAA/TCM program. You may remember last year the conference was in San Diego but thankfully this year it is closer to home.
Christina and Dillon were able to come with me this year. However, like Adam, I forgot to bring my USB connector for my camera so I can not upload any photos until I get home. So if you are one of the readers who only checks this blog for Dillon pictures, you will have to wait until I get home on Saturday. For the rest of the week, the blog will be what I want to blog about, not pictures I am pressured into posting.
On a random The Office note (this one is for Ed since he had a request in the comments), I checked out this laptop that I am currently using from work. Yesterday, before I left the office I decided to log in with my county ID. Of course it didn't work so I had to talk to the computer lady. She said the computer was password protected using a special code. The code turns out to be no tougher than Michael Scott's password, in fact it was almost identical. For security reasons I can not tell you the password but I will say the password was just one number longer than Michael's and it does not break sequence. The IT lady then tells me I should probably write the password down on a sticky note and place it on the computer. At that point I had to fight back the laughter.
I guess I should stop now and check to see if Dillon has awakened from his morning nap.

Where's Dillon?
Obviously Dillon is a lot cuter than Waldo, though Waldo has been seen in one more Mel Gibson movie than Dillon.
Dillon's hair is really starting to grow. According to my mom, I had curls only on the side too. Last night Dillon started crawling on his hands and knees. He has been army crawling for the past couple of weeks but for some reason he decided to go with the more conventional method of crawling.***
Last night's championship game was very disapointing. Usually you can count on One Shining Moment to be excellent but not so last night. Of course, the CBS crew didn't have much to work with since there were no major upsets or buzzer beating shots. Go here if you want to fill your One Shining Moment hunger with the past ten years of the best sports song ever at one site. Beware of the overproduction in 2002 though.

All you Lost fans can check out this cool website that has obituaries of everyone that has died on the show.

I have a bad feeling that any ball hit into left and center against the Dodgers will be a double thanks to the weak throwing arms of Luis Gonzalez and Juan Pierre.

This one goes out to Adam. It is a perfect mockery of R Kelly's Trapped in the Closet.

Let the Madness Begin
A super sized post since I know I will busy for the next few days.
Hopefully Dillon gets his musical talent from his mom, not his dad.
Two weeks ago it snowed. Dillon wasn't too sure about it.
Dillon and I posing under two separate trees that merged together under the weight of the snow.
A new favorite picture for me.
Dillon's first saucer ride.
Even without this hat, Dillon has already learned to flirt with the ladies.

Grandma Sharon and Papa will be coming up to Sonora on Thursday to visit Dillon.

Here is an article on the next generation of animation in video games, with some sweet video to go with it. I have downloaded the trial version of NBA 2K7 on my PS3 and I can say the in game animation is unbelievable. However, the close up shots of the players are not quite as good as I thought they would be.
***
My Final Four picks: Florida over UCLA and Texas over Texas A&m with Florida defending last year's National Championship over Kevin Durant and the Longhorns.

Finally, work has been very hectic the last month. Our director has retired after 30 years of working for the county. He was the person that recruited me and believed that despite my age could become apart of the senior management team. He also was a very easy going boss, loved the Dodgers and Lakers, and talked tons of smack during March Madness. I wish him the best of luck during retirement.

Congrats
I should have posted this sooner but I have not been able to get online at home because my internet was down.
On Friday, February 23, 2007 Kaleb Daniel Morgan came into this world. He put his mom through a very long labor but we were all very happy to see his cute little face.
Kaleb only minutes old.
One proud grandpa.
Unfortunately, the hospital ran out of blankets so we had to pull something out of the trash to keep Kaleb warm.
Soon Kaleb will be able to join his sister and cousin in "hamming it up" for the camera.
Update: I wish I would have seen this sooner because I would have tried to talk Jennifer out of using the name Kaleb and have her go with Yourhighness Morgan.
