Home With a Sick Nugget

Posted on October 26, 2015 by Scott Stancil

Gia’s been pretty fussy all weekend, and had a weird rash on her cheeks. So we took her in to the doctor this morning, and they said it was generally nothing to worry about, but she does have a minor ear infection. She probably could have gone in to daycare, but she’s still been pretty irritable (she put up the biggest fight I’ve ever seen in getting back into the car seat).

So instead we’re home watching Tinker Bell. There are a ton of Tink movies on Netflix, and they’re all actually pretty good. Don’t judge.

Huge bear statue in Park City, UT. I saw it last week on a bike ride around town.

Many Milestones Met

Posted on October 23, 2015October 23, 2015 by Scott Stancil

Valentina has always been a strong baby. The moment she was born she started holding her head up. So it’s not really a surprise that she’s 7 months old and already able to sit up on her own and pull up to standing. I bet she’ll be walking by Thanksgiving.

She also learned how to clap:

Standing Desk – Falling Monitor

Posted on October 22, 2015 by Scott Stancil

Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as the title implies. It’s more like “drooping monitor”, but that’s not as catchy.

I recently ordered a Jarvis sit/stand desk, and finally had time to assemble it this week. It’s great; I love it so far. But I also ordered a monitor arm attachment to go with it, so I could reposition my large Thunderbolt monitor as I transition between sitting and standing. I attached that piece this morning, and it can’t hold the monitor upright…no matter how hard I tighten the screw it just immediately tilts down. I’ve opened a warranty ticket with Ergo Depot, and they should get back to me soon. There are different versions of the arm based on how heavy the monitor is, so I’m hoping they just sent me the wrong one and can replace it quickly.

For now I have it propped up on a few Loot Crate boxes. Good thing I don’t throw those away! And note the awesome Doc Brown/hoverboard picture at the top of the post. Those came in this month’s crate, and they’re fantastic.
