    I'm going to be a dad

    My wife is pregnant, the baby should be born at the end of May. We're very happy, but... the time I know is going to be an issue. I've been going on a home improvement binge since I found out, doing all the projects I apparently forsee being unable to do once we have a newborn. I'm not as worried about work stuff because typing isn't quite as problematic as say... using a power saw, when you have a sleeping baby.

    Congratulations!

    I'm sure you don't need to worry about work stuff - most of your sites run themselves...

    Just remember to take photos of the home improvement to make a new site with when you've got more typing time again!

    predictably enough I considered doing a blog, but really the competition on the home improvement niche is out of this world.

    Congratulations. You do realize your life as you have known it is coming to an end. In a few years your favorite financial news channel will be replaced with cartoons with square sponges.

    Congratulations, Chris. Just remember that your first child makes you a father, your second makes you a parent.

    Successfully raising your child just might make you a grandfather.

    At which point you get to laugh at your kids, point at them and say "See!!! I Told You So!!!" while kicking back and drinking a beer with your kid.
