Jordan and Justice both went to their nanas house this weekend while I went riding with my pops, and Melissa got a well deserved and long overdue girls weekend without any kids within screaming distance. It was a pretty relaxing weekend but like all riding/fishing/campling... etc, trips it can't end without a story. The story was pretty short and not really that interesting but on the way home (when I thought I was home free), Justice vomited like a child out of the excercist. He hurled so hard that some landed in the front seat. So here I am on the side of the road, with the wind whipping about 20-30 mph, stripping JT and his car seat down to put in a plastic bag. I cleaned up everything as much as I could, but it still stunk pretty bad for the final hour of the trip. I am guessing he just got car sick. He was sleeping soundly right before this happened. He woke up and mumbled for a minute or two then let loose. Fortunately, Jordan was not with us and I just put him in her carseat, I am not sure what I would have done if I didn't have that option other than let him sit in the dirty seat. Just another chapter in the book of parenthood.

Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed that since we are entering a new era of storage capacity, that a whole lot of people are not informed about what comes after gigabyte. I have heard at least ten people refer to the "Tetrabyte" size of storage capacity. That is not correct.... it is "Terabyte". This scale, though similar to metric sizing scale is not the same. It was developed by IBM in 1956 with the origination of the term "byte" which allowed for the defining of 4-bit fields known today as a byte. This allows for 1-16 bits to be stored in this configuration.
Anyway, below is the official scale of bytes, so you don't have an excuse in the future.
