Elementcase for iPhone4

Hapshaw — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:05:47 +0000

So I got this case and I have to say it kills reception to a great degree. I guess if you are in a location that always gives you the highest signal you might not feel it but this case just kills everything. Cool design but doesnt really do any good killing your phone reception. I now wait for the free one.

Trying to photograph Q now is becoming a task. First he loves pushing buttons on the camera second when I’m trying to take pictures. He wont stay still and rush’s me to push those buttons, thus the image below.

Q update’s:

Knows all letters and numbers ( just not saying them all yet) as well as sounding a majority of them out.

Knows some colors and many items that seems to grow every day.

Can’t stand if you try and sing ABC’s to him in reverse or random order. If it’s from a book you have to point to each letter as you sing it. If you don’t he grabs your finger to do it.

Has this new smarty pants laugh now.

Just last night got up and down from the couch by himself. He was motivated there was a bag of letter block things.

Bamboozelment of the father – First Time in History

Hapshaw — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 17:08:37 +0000

We had a surprise birthday for my dad a week ago. Fooling my dad isn’t a easy task, but we had him fooled all the way up to the door. He wasn’t too happy with the fake proceedings we had to conjure up so he was complaining the whole time, even still hoot and hollering right up to the the surprise which made it that much sweeter. This was a blow to his psyche as after the surprise he had to stand in the backyard for a minute to collect himself with embarrassment. I believe if I’m not mistaken by consulting the surprise birthday manual that he has forfeited all birthday privileges to my mom when she has hers next month.

The Food Weapons

Quentin's first photographs

Yea so textures are a majority of the issue in foods than taste, at least for me. After further consultation with wizard Willis the proper cutting and food preparing items must be obtained. I agreed with his take on the matter after further thought. I need things cut in precise ways to combine for optimal texture of things. That in itself lends to a certain art form I can appreciate. The work to arrange and combine all these elements I can see could be as satisfying as eating them.

So here is a short list of weapons based on suggests of Das Willis:

Wusthof Classic 2-Piece Knife Starter Set

Progressive International CSS-1 Collapsible 5-Quart Salad (that’s if you don’t like overly wet salads which I don’t)

A good bamboo cutting board.

A good rice cooker made by Zojirushi

Right now I’m starting a list of the food items to start. It will be small based around salads and brown rice. One of the things Das Willis does is make his own dressings. Using allot of processed dressings is basically taking a candy bard and liquifying it on your salad.

I have all the above items on ebay watch as I try and get low prices. I might even do some food network photo breakdown ninja kicks for documentation. Yea it’s all known to 99 percent of everyone else but not to me.

As always up yours Taco Bell and McDonald’s but spare the granita, let the granita live a long life.

Das Q

My buddy Das Willis, yes that’s what I call him, recently went on this change in diet that I’m going to adopt. He had some skin condition that I assume he attributed too a not so healthy diet ( yes also liked the asshole Starbucks). Since putting to practice this plan his skin has cleared and he has felt extremely better. It is basically a rejection of processed foods, those high in pesticides, dairy and meat. In other words, screw you modern factories of processed shit you bombard me no more.

Here is a link to his write up of his plan, what he has experienced and some helpful related resources:

FairlyRaw

As I said I’m going to adopt this as a good starting point to re teach myself how to be healthier. My issue is I don’t want to think of choices I want to have something I can trust and totally focus on it. If I have to go into a large super market full of 10,000 things per food group I wont know what is what to choose.

iPhone Suess

If I did try and break it all down I wouldn’t start this for another year it’s simply too complex to me and I would be studying more than doing.

I’m going to document everything here as much as I can about the process and things I learn along the way. One note discussed today that has me thinking is the thoughts of fish being nothing but filters in a already polluted water system. That thought has spawned alot of ideas in my that I’m still churning on.

I found the Kashi products in terms of breakfast and snacks for Q. Although he sometimes has his Goldfish, which are nothing but empty crunchy things, the Kashi snacks actually give him fiber and nutrition of value, which is noticed when he has a serving of ( you know nice poops).

I shall report back soon as for now I’m looking for a good rice cooker since it was suggested ( based on alot of servings of brown rice) that this item will be my little buddy for a good while.

Quentin is really skilled and knowing how to operate an iPhone. I don’t know how he natural figures this out at his age in being it’s so abstract but he knows you swipe to flip pages and what apps he likes, a good excuse to get an iPad.

Bump isn’t anything…

Hapshaw — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:37:13 +0000

Dr’s didn’t seem to think it’s anything other than an irritation from my upper teeth possibly. For the first time dealing with cancer I felt true sense of fear. I can have my jaw rebuilt with leg parts, a hole in my leg among other wounds and yet never felt anything like when I saw this small discolored bump on my cheek. It really brought me down to earth another peg I didn’t know was there.
