Apparently someone tipped Santa off that I like the TV show the Office. His elf spies are everywhere! Happy Holidays from CaffeinatedCoder and his little pre-caffeinated helper Sofia. She is also modeling one of her Christmas presents in the picture above, a most excellent pair of cow pajamas.

It is my great pleasure to introduce my new daughter, Sofia Isabel Ball. She decided to make her grand entrance in the wee hours of the morning on the first day of Spring, March 21st, 2008. Sofia wiggled her way out into the world less than 90 minutes after we arrived at the hospital, thus [...]
Don’t be jealous, but I finally got an official T-shirt from my favorite political affiliation. I also got a bunch of chocolate covered espresso beans in my stocking interspersed with all the coal, so you can expect those late night blogging sessions to continue for a while. I have to admit that I was a [...]
Last weekend I ran in the WhiteRock marathon in Dallas, Texas and was thus able to check off the tenth state in my quest to run one marathon in each state. This race was much bigger and better supported than my ninth marathon in Iowa earlier this year and my friends and I had a [...]
I’d like to introduce you to Sophia, future developer and blogger extraordinaire. She’s only 22 weeks old, but as you can clearly tell from this picture she is very precocious. When I mentioned I was downloading Visual Studio 2008 tonight, she was so excited that she kicked and startled her Mommy. I didn’t have the [...]
Really, it’s not that hard! If the idea is remotely appealing to you, then I recommend that you throw caution to the wind and just commit to doing it. There are thousands of people who do it all the time that are fatter, lazier, slower, older, and saner than you’ll ever be. You may actually [...]
It turns out that my co-workers have found a new hobby. They’ve been secretly practicing this dance routine at lunch time. Thanks to Grif for helping to capture this secret footage. NOTE: If no window displays below, then you will need to install the flash player. If your connection is slow, then the video might [...]
I seem to have a morbid fascination with my Vista weather gadget today. Does anyone have eggs they would like me to fry on the sidewalk? Perhaps I’ll start my own version of Badwater Ultra-Marathon…
The heat index was over a hundred today when I ran one of my regular six mile routes. This summer has actually been pretty mild by Kansas standards (last summer we had 14 days that were over one hundred degrees). Having grown up in Michigan, I do my share of complaining about Kansas summers and generally [...]
This weekend I completed my 10th marathon/ultra marathon in Lake Okoboji in Nebraska . That makes nine states in my quest to join the 50 state club, which requires you to run a marathon in each state. I picked this goal mostly because it gives me a good excuse to travel around to some places I probably wouldn’t have otherwise seen and it [...]
