It's our 10th Anniversary!
Posted by Tannerman on February 2nd, 2012 09:01 AM

10 years ago, on 02/02/02 at 2:02 p.m., Amy & I got married! Amy & Steve (2002) Back then, we streamed our wedding live over the Internet via RealPlayer. Yup, RealPlayer! Who even uses that anymore? It's funny to think that all the servers, cameras, and technical setup we did back then to pull that off can pretty much be replaced with an iPhone running Ustream today. Amy, Steve, & Wesley (2011) Hard to believe it's been 10 years, but I'd do it all again (well, maybe not the part about shooting our wedding on S-VHS… I still need to convert the ceremony to digital!)* And these days, we've got our hands full with a new member of the family to keep us on our toes.* Let the festive 02/02 celebration commence! P.S. Our anniversary also marks the 10 year milestone for SteveandAmySly.com… so I guess it's a "Happy Blogoversary" as well! View "It's our 10th Anniversary!" on SteveandAmySly.com

Our son Wesley is now 6 weeks old, so we thought it would be a good time to update some of the moments we've been having with him so far… "Houston, we have smiles!" Bath time is awesometime Fist Bump with Dad Our son the Sith Lord Hanging with Daddy around the Christmas Tree Let's go cycling! Yes, we've turned our son into a billboard "Graco makes me smile!" (Non-celebrity Endorsement) 2 smiles, 1 not so much "Seriously, Dad, why are you staring at me?" Time Machine: Steve's Grandpa/Mom on the left, Steve/Wesley on the right Zonked out in the sling Yawn! Wesley's first walk in the Chicago snow Showing Wesley the finer points of building with Construx! "Hey, it's my 1 month birthday. Let's party!"

Theme Park Thursdays: Magical Golf Cart
Posted by Tannerman on January 26th, 2012 09:26 AM

Theme Park Thursdays feature photos from one of our theme park adventures in the past. Backseat Driver (2011) This is the view from the backseat of an extended length golf cart at the Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World. You can see one of these carts in action via this video I shot in 2006. Coronado is a convention resort on Disney property and has the rooms very spread out on the property. Thus, they will often provide you a ride for your luggage via these motorized machines. The carts don't really fit the Southwest/Mexican theme at all, but when you have a ton of stuff to haul, they do come in pretty handy — though I say get off your butt and walk! Today's photo was shot in January 2011 as we were leaving a conference that was held at the resort. We used the cart because of the need to transport the contents of an entire exhibitor booth. If you look carefully, you can see my reflection in the mirror above the driver (I'm wearing a yellow jacket!) View "Theme Park Thursdays: Magical Golf Cart" on SteveandAmySly.com

Theme Park Thursdays: It's Not Easy Being Small
Posted by Tannerman on January 5th, 2012 09:46 AM

Theme Park Thursdays feature photos from one of our theme park adventures in the past. Smaller Guests Enter First (2009) You never get any benefits when you are small… unless you ride Snow White's Scary Adventures, because then you can enter first! Of course, the real purpose here is to prevent you from falling out of the ride and dying, so I guess that's a good thing. It won't matter much soon, anyway, as this ride is slated to be removed as part of the New Fantasyland Expansion at Walt Disney's World's Magic Kingdom.

Theme Park Thursdays: Karen the SnowMickey
Posted by Tannerman on December 29th, 2011 09:55 AM

Theme Park Thursdays feature photos from one of our theme park adventures in the past. Frosty Ears? (2009) My sister Karen models a set of Christmas-themed Mickey ears during a December 2009 trip. I'm not sure there is a logical place — other than a theme park — where these should be worn. View "Theme Park Thursdays: Karen the SnowMickey" on SteveandAmySly.com
