McLean family web site

We've moved! Las Vegas is our new home. We'll certainly miss Santa Cruz, but life takes some interesting turns.

The Photo Album can be found here. Last updated on 06/20/2009.

Some QuickTime movies can be found in the movie directory. I'll make it more fancy sometime. No really. Stop laughing. Please.

Yes, Bethany lost another tooth. Too cute

The Lamine family website can be found here.

We've started attending FCC Las Vegas and we like it very much. Here we've found the kind of open and affirming church that really appeals to us. What do I mean by "open and affirming?" Everybody is welcome, and welcomed extravogantly. Be gay, be straight, be whatever, you're welcome here. See more at God is still speaking

Bethany has started first grade and she loves it. Her current obsession is now all things Webkinz ...even supplanting all things Toontown.

Jamie is 4 years old now. See movies from her 2nd birthday party here . Her favorite thing in the world is her Webkin toy, "Gary". She thinks her big sister is the second coolest thing ever and pretty much copies whatever she does. She's even started playing Bethany's ToonTown game. She's got a terrific sense of humor and when you ask her "What does a Lion say she'll answer "Rraarrrrr!" And when you ask what a pirate says she responds "Arrrrrrrrr!" with the occasional "me harties" thrown in. We celebrated Talk Like A Pirate Day privately.

Lisa and Sean are the proud parents of Bethany and Jamie. Sean is a QA Software Engineer by profession. Lisa has a full time job as "Mommy" and that keeps her plenty busy.

My Mom and stepfather documented a great road trip in 2001. They took pictures from the road and emailed them to me with trip status etc. It was a great way for them to share their journey with family and friends. I slapped together notes and photos from the journey here.

My old buddy John Hawkins is a phenominally successful web guru in Las Vegas. One of John's side projects is Well, WTF?. Drop by and have a look.

John MacWilliamson has a fun family web page. I worked for John way back in the day at Global Village and still like to keep in touch. Seems John knows everybody who's ever worked on a Macintosh project.

Dave Sweeney. No really... Dave Sweeney. Sweeneysoft. Oh yeah.

I don't have my own blog because

I think that personal information just thrown out there can be dangerous
My day just isn't that interesting
My mind has not changed on this topic. Nobody cares what you had for lunch. I don't mind Facebook so much but please realize, what you put there goes into a database that you do not have any control over. The whole "25 things you don't know about me" thing is a bad idea and reminds me an awful lot of junior high.

Here are some sites I visit frequently: /. supermallen, g e e e e k, stega, The Sneeze, cockeyed, defective yeti, and Oh the Humanity!.

I've been volunteering some IT time and effort to a non-profit organization here in Las Vegas called the World Peace Center. Most often I'm refurbishing old computers to be given away. Here is my latest war story involving a PowerBook 5300c.

I was really into bike racing in 1990's and thought that I should write some of those stories down. Here are some of those stories. Let me know if you read it!
