Baumbach Christmas Wish List
posted by Marc on November 13, 2007 @ 7:22PM

The Baumbach Family Christmas Wish List is back up and you can find it here. I cleared out all the wish lists and reset everybody's "secret santa."

I'm expecting a lot of you to have forgotten your username and/or password. So if you have, shoot me an e-mail or leave a comment and I'll notify you.

Mom & Dad anniversary gift (No parents allowed!)
posted by Kristen on December 3, 2007 @ 11:03AM

Since Thanksgiving, I've been trying to brainstorm a really awesome anniversary gift for mom and dad.  It's pretty cool that they're inviting us along for their celebration, so I wanted the gift to be really special!  Here are my ideas:

1.  A picture calendar--one of my coworkers just had calendars made for her family using old family photos that she scanned.  You can then input important dates like birthdays and anniversaries and arrange the photos as you like--even repair them if needed!  You can make it an 18 month calendar, so we could do August 08 through till the following December 09.

2. Depending on how I do collecting old photos (which I will do this coming Christmas, somehow!), I might try to put together a powerpoint slideshow.  This was my original idea, but I admit I was a little worried about how long it might take me (you know how the bigger a project you take on, the less likely you are to finish it?)  I really wanted to add in sound clips by recording a little snippet from everyone, including the grandkids.  I might still try to do this--I figure all I need to get is a mic right?  And then hook it up to one of the 5 or 6 laptops we have at the house over the holidays?  I thought we could record a favorite memory, story, joke, something learned...whatever.

I thought that I could try to make arrangements to show the slideshow somewhere....maybe a lobby somewhere...I'd have to worry about a projector and screen, but I bet knowing Disney they might be able to help out.  I figure I could start with the calendar and see how ambitious I feel after that.

 What do y'all think?

Sorry, I've been out of cool topics to discuss of late (hey, I know, let me bring up the controversy about the Golden Compass being atheist propanda, right?) so let's do the who's coming in to town when thingy...in the comments, of course.

Yes, I'll bring the train game again, unless you're all bored with it.  Same deal for the Wii, but should I bother bringing Guitar Hero since we still only have one guitar?  Let me know.

Prepare for Rock Band 2
posted by Marc on November 12, 2008 @ 1:44PM

As many of you probably know by now, I have Rock Band 2 and plan to bring it back during Thanksgiving and Christmas solely so I can hear Geoff sing again. One of the benefits now is we can download more music, which we couldn't do with the old Playstation 2 version we had.

I have uploaded a spreadsheet to my server which you guys can take a look at here. It's the list of all available songs to download and which ones I currently have (or think I have, hard to remember). Take a look through and let me know in the comments which songs you're interested in that I don't have and I'll look into picking those up before I come as I don't feel like paying $100 to get the wireless adapter for the Xbox 360.

I look forward to the many "You downloaded all that crappy Rush, but not xxx" comments likely to come.
