Jerry's sleeping schedule... aka the 6 PM nap...

Recently Jerry has begun taking late naps in the evening. This hasn’t happened every day of the week, but it has happened the majority. It seems that he isn’t tired enough for a mid-day nap, but just can’t make it through the entire day.

Today he woke up at 7 AM and fell asleep at 6 PM. He’s still sleeping soundly, but if this is anything like his other naps he could be up any minute now. I’m hoping he’ll sleep the night through so Eriko and I can enjoy an evening with each other for once…

too busy doing not much...

Work has been keeping me pretty darn busy as of late (which isn’t a bad thing, considering that I still have a job…)

The rest of my time is occupied by my favorite guy - Jerry!

Upgraded to MT-4.23-en

Very smooth. The new interface allows you to insert an image directly, so this is something dad will need for his journal.

I don’t have time to see what’s changed write now (as Jerry is calling) but I was using 4.0.1, so I’m sure puh-lenty has.

Failed Banks and the Economic Crisis

This is just in its infancy, but I wanted a visual picture of the economic crisis and the affected banks. Using the Google Maps API and the FDIC’s failed bank list, I created this:

Right now, it is very basic - it just shows the points where the failed banks exist. As I learn how to manipulate this, the markers will each show the name of the failed bank and the date which they failed. My next step will be to add all of the banks which accepted money from the TARP and all the banks which refused money from the TARP.
