Embedding Songs Made Easy

Embedding music in a blog post isn't new, but you used to have to embed a youtube video with lyrics in a terrible font or the sound quality was horrible and embarrassing.  It just got easier today.  Enter Spotify Play Button.

The lovely people over at Spotify are trying to become the go to music streaming service and they just jumped a little ahead of the other guys if you ask me.  The Play Button gives you the opportunity to post any song, album, or playlist to any webpage or blog post.  The quality will be super high and the widgets are actually quite well designed.  There will be audio ads however, but that's no biggie to me.  It's free music.

To really take advantage of the play button, head on over to the Spotify Play Button page with all the instructions and widget options.  The widget can be embedded just like a youtube video so you should know how to do that by now.  Enjoy!

Preggo and Loving It

So if you didn't know, we are pregnant with an already beautiful baby girl (insert biggest daddy smile ever).  Our due date is May 18 and that may seem like a decent amount of time away, but when you're the expecting parents...it's coming up waaaay too fast!  We have been loving the pregnancy through thick and thin and feel so blessed by God to experience this.  As of today we are 30 weeks....whoa, whoa....that sounds totally crazy in my head as I write this.  God is so amazing and awesome and beyond description.  I feel so loved and am so proud to be called a son of God.  We are so excited to hold our little baby girl in our arms.  The anticipation is slightly overwhelming at times, but I know that there will be plenty of time for us to hold her.  I for one will probably be very stingy with her...I can imagine me just sitting at home every night holding her till I'm too tired to hold her any more and then continue to hold her.  Heather is going to have to pretty much pry her away from me. :)  She's already too spoiled by me, but I don't care. :)

Anyway, before I get too deep into a post about how much I already love our little baby girl (that's another whole post in itself), I wanted to post a pic of Heather's preggo belly.  She's so beautiful!

30 Weeks

I'm Still Here

Just wanted to post a little note for everyone.

I'm still here!

Just been a little busy/preoccupied with other things.  I have lots that I want to post, just need to take the time and do it.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled day.

No Shave November 2011: Recap

So November has been over for a while now...I've been slack on blogging...sorry.  I've been so busy with lots of things, but my lovely wife hasn't let the world down with telling our news. :)

So here are a few pictures of my awesome beard in November.
