Happy Third Birthday to my beautiful twins Amy & Lindsey! Three is such a fun age, I have less time to build stuff and I don't even mind! When I do build stuff, I try to make it fun for the princesses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcJZZwF5rW4

Who knew kids could be so great? :) I'm here to tell ya firsthand. Just don't wait until you're 50 to have 'em!

    They are as cute as they are lucky.
    But aren't you afraid they might grow up sounding like that Robovoice box thing?
    Mine grew up sounding like HAL. "I'm sorry, Dad, I'm afraid I can't do that."

    By work, I hope the creation of these two beautiful girls don't fall under some sort of IP at Hot Wheels and you have to put a MIT license addendum on their Birth Certificates.

    JK. Happy birthday to the girls, and you and your lovely wife dun good.

    People say "If I would have known how much fun the grandkids were, I would have had them first!" At 50, that's essentially what I did. Eliminate the middleman! Of course, sending them back home "to their parents" is not an option in my situation. :)

    I've been an endurance athlete since 30 (no, not 1930) and I like to think that the thousands of miles I've run & biked have prepared me for this ultimate endurance event, ultramarathon parenting into my 60's & 70's.

    Yea, well in 10 more years your gonna need that enduarance. Not only to keep up with them, but to chase all the boys off!!!!!! ( I only hope by then you would have a fire breathing sentry robot guard to take care of that!!!!!)
