My wife Julia wrote an amazing article titled “Try not to judge“. It starts “Becoming a parent is the most humbling experience I’ve ever gone through.” The article shares some of her experiences and feelings as a new mother. I have a very similar perspective as her. Parenting truly is the most humbling experience.
Lately, we’ve been watching lots of movies and whole television series. The TV shows stand out more in mind as we spend much more time with the characters. Some of our favorites have been:
Friends (?) - Julia has watched all of the seasons, and I’ve enjoyed many, many of the episodes.
Grey’s Anatomy (?) - we [...]
My wrists are hurting, particularly my left wrist. I think it’s carpal tunnel, and I think the cause is fatherhood.
With the birth of our son William, this is a different birthday, as are all of our days.
As life changes, love changes. I thought I loved Julia before with all my heart, but my love for her feels even fuller now. Julia has become my truest inspiration.
I’ve been profoundly moved by how amazing Julia was [...]
You may be wondering about the radio silence. Well, it has been for the very best of reasons. My son William John Budd was born one month ago on Monday, April 7 after a long weekend of work for him and his mom Julia.
Life is extraordinary! Every single time I hold William, I marvel that [...]
The first Victoria DemoCamp is tomorrow 5.30pm, Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 @ 834 Johnson St. (Juliet Living Demo Space, a.k.a. the OLD peacock billiards place). DemoCamp is basically a hipster geek term for people coming together to give demonstrates (or presentations) (practice) on technology products or services (only needs to be loosely related to tech).
Our baby joins us a little more each day.
Today, Julia is one month away from her due date, and today was Julia’s last day of work. Of course, the baby has its own clock.
For both of us, baby’s arrival has lately seemed… more real, and anticipated. We are enjoying the process of preparing for baby, [...]

“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” ~Native American Proverb
In an otherwise horrible movie comes, “A [person's] legacy is measured by the gifts he leaves his children.”
As parenthood approaches these both strike cords with me. I think the greatest gift I can give me child will be [...]

Here is an excerpt from West End Girl Ariane’s “Practicing yes.” which she shared at the Northern Voice Tiki party open mic. Julia and I didn’t attend.
Her words really touch me, as my shyness (fears) sometimes stands in my way, and other times I’m too focused on other’s needs to take care of mine and [...]

Julia and I had a practical birth preparation course on Sunday with Victoria local yoga master, philosopher and former registered nurse, Helga Beer. It was awesome!
Julia and I haven’t attended her yogo classes for the last many months. I had forgotten how much I get out of her philosophy.
During the course she mentioned Mark Gungor’s [...]
