Claire McCaskill Rocks!
So, my Senator, Claire McCaskill, lit up Wall Street yesterday from the Senate floor. It was a fantastic speech and something that needed to be said out loud. I used to work for Merrill Lynch and was very proud to have been a part of that institution. It did bother me a lot when the…

Pinball Wizard
For those of you that follow me on Twitter or Facebook, I have been calling my son the Pinball Wizard in honor of his mad skills on Mappy, Galaga, Pole Position, and Pac Man. For a four year old, I am constantly amazed how quickly he picks up new (old) games. He has even taken…

Twitter Updates for 2009-01-28
I am beginning to realize I get better information from the people I follow on Twitter than I do from hundreds of RSS feeds I read. # Still trying to figure out how it is possible that STL County was not able to keep the roads clear today. We’re only talking a few inches! #…

While each version has had its own nice new enhancements, I am drawn to this newest iteration more than its predecessors. What is…

My Wife Rocks!
My wife, Donnell, has been an incredible advocate for our daughter who has a medical diagnosis of PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified). As I’m sure you can imagine, our daughter’s diagnosis translates into significant social, behavioral, and educational issues at school and at home. Donnell has taken the lead with our daughter’s…

I’m Using WeightWatchers Again
Thanks to helping my wife, Donnell, eat through two pregnancies and an overall lack of control over my taste buds, I am back on WeightWatchers. Donnell and I used WeightWatchers before our wedding, and it worked incredibly well. It turns out if you actually pay attention to what you eat, you can lose weight. Crazy…

I would like to thank everyone who participated in the Probstisms Election Night Conversation. We had a lot of fun, and it made election night that much more special. I have…
