It’s a boy!
I’m almost a month late with the news, but I’ll blame it on the lack of sleep and the distraction of diapers and bottles.

We welcomed Jax on October 17th, and he’s been a blast (even if he does have days and nights confused).
On a related note, I was speculating recently with another father about the effect blogging will have on our kids when they grow up. Will kids be surfing the Wayback Machine in middle school computer labs looking for each other’s baby pictures? Is it too much to hope that kids will actually think someone’s cool because their dad blogged about them, and not the other way around?

Congrats!
I for one think that it may be the “other way around.”

You named your son after JavaScript And XML?
Congratulations!

Just a coincidence Doug. I’m geeky, but not that much so.
And he wasn’t named after the Jax from Mortal Kombat either http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jax_%28Mortal_Kombat%29

That’s too bad, would have made for some great Digg-bait: Geek developer names son after technology.
Jax on Mortal Kombat is pretty cool, too! I never thought of that.
Cheers!
Doug
