ZooAtlanta hosted a special night this past Saturday for friends and family of Northside Hospital babies. We joined friends for the special evening look at the zoo. See the photo gallery here.
Sam on the Road
Well, not literally. But now Amy and I have a real understanding of military planning, logistics and supply lines. We packed the Rover full of gear to take Sam on his first road trip, down I-16/I-75 to Savannah on Memorial Day weekend. Grandma and Uncle Jerry enjoyed him immensely! See the photo gallery here.
Sam’s First Ball Game!
While I wish his first ball game had been to see the World Champion Boston Red Sox, we had to settle for my second favorite team. Turner Field, only a mile from our home in Grant Park, was the setting for a beautiful evening matchup between the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves. Six-week-old Samuel seemed to enjoy himself, sleeping through the first few innings in our Baby Bjorn (courtesy of Chet & Phyllis!), then waking up to enjoy the sights and sounds of America’s greatest pastime. Check out the gallery here.
Who are these people?
A new study reported this morning on Mediapost.com (registration required) describes a study commissioned by ESPN to study the use of DVRs by non-early adopters. The report says that 57% of people given a DVR, ultimately returned the unit because they didn’t want it.
Of the 157 households that participated in the test, 90 returned their DVRs for a variety or reasons including: complaints about the installation process, the cost of DVRs, or the fact that the digital set-top devices clashed with or didn’t fit into their home furnishings.
Oh – the study also said that most of these people didn’t tend to fast-forward through commercials. Hmmmm. If anyone happens to have an extra Tivo Series 2 lying around after this test, please send it my way.
