Hello world of bloggers.
As you may have noticed, I made some small changes here to my blog. I decided that a new color scheme was in order, and a new, faster loading picture above. So, I hope that you all enjoy that. Other than the cosmetic changes here on the site, I plan on being the same old Matthew, and filling your mind with more and more information that may be useless in your daily lives.
Recently, me and my wife have been enjoying each other's company. We've been going back and forth a lot to the Central Valley in California, and the weather is finally starting to turn around here. San Jose has been pretty cold, but today we finally got back up over 80 degrees and things are only supposed to get better. I guess that summer really will start. So, that's exciting to hear.
We moved a 55 inch TV (thanks mom and pop!) into our just-under-800 square foot apartment. I think that's a pretty good square foot to TV size ratio. It's a lot of fun. We got the HD tuner from Comcast, and now enjoy the extra clarity. At least, I think it's fun.
Recently I've had some severe gadget envy. With the release of the Palm Pre and te new iPhone 3GS and some brand new MacBook Pros and the like having been unleashed on the world, I find myself wanting something fun and shiny to play with. However, it's not in the cards. And that's perfectly all right. I just hope that someone around me will pick something up so that I can play with it and satisfy that internal desire for some shiny geek gadgetry. It's all fascinating and wonderful. Reading about it is one thing; maybe one day I'll get to play with all of the fun gadgets.
To give an A's update: They started winning some games, and then decided that wasn't fun anymore. So they've dropped most of the their last 8 games. It's been sad to watch. For some reason our bullpen just can't seem to hold it down. Our offense has been sputtering, but far more effective than earlier in the season. It's sad to watch, but I will be an A's fan through thick or thin. If you are in the East Bay, I suggest a game. They are fun, and baseball is a wonderful night to get away from everything else. Linds and I are going to the game on Friday (June 26th) with my parents. It's a fireworks game, and we'll be in the 2nd row by the opposing bullpen. It should be a TON of fun. Look for some pictures soon.
I have so much more to say regarding politics, technology, movies, and so many other things. But I think that I should just keep those inside for right now. I find that updates about hanging out with my wife gets the best traffic anyway. :)
Look forward to some more commentary from me soon.

Good to see you again. lol. Sounds like things are going well. You are just missing a little AP in your life. ;)
I'm not sure if the A's are traveling through thick or thin right now (I was never sure about that saying, but thin's always better than thick, so let's assume that thick is the losing streak), but I'm still in there with them.
Although Ryan Sweeney (my boy!) and his sad pinch hitting episode yesterday was thick and quite painful.
See you next week slick.
You don't have me around to get new toys all the time. But I also don't get new toys all that often. :)
