Vladville

So I finally get to show you why I stepped back from the road… Say hello to the new (brewing) baby boy:

vlad20

Oh, yes.. It’s exactly what you think it is. Or as I so (in)appropriately yelled out at the OBGYN: “Yeah boyeee, way to beat the cursor! Smack that arrow.”

Estimated release date, May 18.

.tp.



David Mackie |

Well Done both of you.



JonM |

Congratulations mommy and daddy.

Now kiss each other and say goodbye to sleep.

Or as Vlad calls it, Tuesday.



Alex Kingston |

When I said I needed more headcount this is _not_ what I meant.

Congrats Katie you’re a saint!



crazycuban33 |

Katie, congratulations.

I have just 1 q: When.. is… the…. PARTY?



Jeff Zidan |

Awesome! I am very happy for you guys!



Kevin |

Congrats to the both of you. So, when will he start coding?

Names?



Zane |

So I guess it’s going to be at least 5-6 years till the Mazek family has a decent coder? :)



Andy Parkes |

Congratulations!!

Your about to have your life changed in a way you couldn’t imagine possible



Micah Blajev |

Wow!!! Another Vlad! We are not ready, we are not ready!!!

Congratulations guys$#@%!@



Pedro H |

Great news Vlad & Katie! May your pregnancy be filled with joy and laughter, it is a great time to be together.



ScottC |

OK! You’re excused for the riffraff comments now. If my math is right you were having a far better than we were having in Redmond. :)

Congrats!



Robert Scoble |

Nice touch on Vlad 2.0, after all he is in a bubble :)

Happy for you man.



Amy B |

Cool. I was wondering if you were going to blog about this. Congrats again and I hope that Katie is feeling better.



Coallition For No More Vlad's |

Oh please for the love of god don’t name him Vlad.



Woony 18 |

Take THAT Darwinism.

All the coolest kid software is written for the mac. Just sayin’



EdInAK |

As Ned Flanders would say:
“Thank you, Lord, for this bountiful Penis.”

Congratulations on the baby boy!

Ed



Melissa |

Way to go daddy!

For the sake of humanity, I hope Katie develops an insomnia. I don’t want you teaching the kid the same stuff you IMed the other night of South Park take on evolution:

“You’re the retarded offspring of 5 monkeys having butt sex with a fish squirrel.”

pps still my tagline :)

Congratulations Katie!



yanic |

Got name yet?

“It’s all about the name, I cannot stress that enough!” - PHB.



mhajid |

good news of the male child. god has blessed you.



Mark |

bwahahaha… I knew you’d wait to announce this when you had a good screencap. I’m surprised you didn’t get a picture of Vlad Jr. doing the gator chomp.

Props.



Ed |

If the kid is as big of a hustler as his daddy when and where do we send the gifts? I say you do this:

Booster Car Seat with a little baby pimp hat, thick gold chain and “MAPI PIMP” onesie.



HandyAndy |

So you thought you were busy before, you are about to find out what having no time really means, Congrats to both of you,
ha



nicky |

Way to go daddy!



maria ramirez |

Nice pic, proud kid.

Tim Tebow Mazek?

Go Gators



karlp |

Congratulations to both of you.

I’m not a doctor, but I think your daughter is flipping you the bird.

And since you live in the South, I recommend the name Cletus the Fetus, at least until May.

Enjoy your last Christmas alone for 18 years!!!



tjoiner |

Congratulations on your blessing!



elfin |

If Tim Tebow Mazek is out of question will u consider Chuck Norris Mazek?

Welcome, little gator! Congrats u guys!



chris rue |

Congrats man!

2 tips for ya…

1.) GET SLEEP NOW!

2.) Put a silent, remote controlled dimmer in the nursery.

Hug the new mommy-to-be for me.



Dave |

Noice… Imagery aside, this kid has a sharp learning curve to becoming as big of a d… as his daddy :)

Hahaha.. just busting your chops man, congratulations.

Katie, two Vlad’s? Have you thought this through?



sb |

Ah crap. Another one of you?

/me sells his Microsoft stock.



bryan |

About the damn time man!

Congratulations Katie!



Walter Thompson |

Congratulations and best wishes to both of you. Nice screencap.



Rich |

Man, this is so Vlad’s kid. I can hear it now “What are you looking at, take a picture why don’t you!”

Way to go kids! Get some sleep…



Mya |

Awe he is so cute! Little showoff!

Congratulations Katie & Vlad, I can’t wait till this kid starts blogging.



Ellis |

Vlad2! Welcome kid@!

Congrats guys.



DarrenS |

Congrats Vlad & Katie!



Roger |

Great job Vlad. Congrats to you and Katie!



parnolds |

Congratulations guys, he sure looks like a healthy little boy. You’re lucky, you have to watch over them less when they grow up.



James |

Congratulations Katie and Vlad!

Now you have an heir apparent to your “domain”!



Fiona Winnsman |

Awe.

Finally, someone to help you with your pr0n collection.

Congrats guys!



Eric L |

Congratulations!!!!!

Now off to order some baby swag.



StaceyC |

That is so awesome…it’s the hardest, and most rewarding job you will ever have. You can’t resist putting the keyboard aside and stop programming when a little one comes toddling in saying “dada!”



cal |

Way to go big daddy! Got the name yet?

cal



Steve Almers |

Congratulations both,

It took me a moment to realize what I was looking at, what the cursor was pointing at. Then it hit me. Classy!



Alex Roy |

Congratulation Vlad and Katie! That is wonderful news!



Lori @ Nettronix |

That’s Vlad’s son alright! Flashing his junk for all the world to see.

Way to go!



John from mia tech |

Vlad Jr slinging his Oscar Mayer..

Wait till he does the baby sprinkler impression. Oops, spoiled the surprise!



sammy |

Congrats guys!

I don’t know if I’m just the most sadistic one in the audience but I’d pay good money to come back during teenage years so I can see Vlad Sr. fight with Vlad Jr.

Vlad mirror match!

Katie, you poor poor girl :)



TimB |

Hey there little Vlad, way to put the best foot forward.

Oh thats not your foot..

Oh……….

Good craftsmanship K&V.



mavmesa |

How much trouble and heartache did you put that sonicgram tech through to get THAT picture???

I am glad for you.

Better treat Mommy right and have lots of eggplant and peanutbutter on hand until May!



Dave Nickason |

Congratulations to you and Katie! I’m happy for you.

Merry Christmas,

Dave



expertech |

Congratulations on the new bundle of joy, this will change your life in the way you cannot even imagine.



AChurba |

Congratulations. Sure beats worrying about every penis in the world as with a girl. You’ll soon find out what unconditional love is all about!

asorensen |

Welcome to the family Vlad Jr!

If you haven’t already go get What to expect when expecting book. It will save you a lot of hair and explain whats going on with your wife.



alevin |

I must be slow, at first glance that looked like a nose. Only when I tilted my head a little did I see what it was. Whoa, good for the boy!

And great for the two of you. New baby is both a blessing and a selfinducd insomnia



OpenIDtimbarrett |

LOL @ Tavis! I totally had something good to day, but I can’t top that! Congrats Vlad & Katie!



drshaw |

Well he really “sprung” onto the web, didn’t he? :)

Great news Vlad and Katie



yani bailes |

MAPI PIMP? ROFL

You guys will make great parents, this kid is so lucky (and how!)



Emily I. |

That is such great news. You are so lucky!



Justin Sposse |

Congratulations!!!

Echoing what someone above said: skipping an IT conference to have sex is a plus any way you look at it! Get ready to skip more, you won’t want to leave.



vlad |

Wow, thank you guys!

MAPI PIMP has a nice touch, I’ll admit it.

No comments on the name, we have not picked one but Tim Tebow is not in the running. Neither is Tim Danny Steve Mazek for that matter, though I did pitch that one. :)

Katie has the book that was mentioned, Tim actually told me about it during chat today. It’s surprisingly accurate.

For those of you that couldn’t quite piece it together and figure out what you were looking at… I mean… come on, would you expect anything less of me and of Vladville than to have my first offspring flipping you the bird?

-Vlad



vermin |

Congratulations!
I wonder what is the codename of this project? And under what name given your way of naming thing will it be released? ;-)



azedison |

Way to go kids! May your journey to parenthood be filled only with the best.



Jules W |

Dude, and Katie,

Congratulations :-)

Was it the result of one of the white shirts I read about in a blog post not too long ago??

In any case, current release date makes it for a bull headed Taurean… Could make for an interesting child / youth / adult.

Very very very cool news.



Wayne K |

Congratulations to you both.

Nice to see someone arriving from the deeper end of the gene pool :)

Best wishes for the holiday season too.



Philip Elder |

The journey to the birth of your fist child is an awesome one! And, maybe a little painful too. ;)

Wait until you get to the “alien baby” stage when things are sticking out of Katie’s tummy in strange places and it seems like the kid is swinging around on the cord! They love music and Dr. Seuss in the womb. :)

Monique and I are a team: In our marriage, our business, and now as parents.

At no time does team strength show itself more than during the birthing of your first kid. Good communication between you two and your supporting her completely through the whole process will help things move along as smoothly as possible.

Suggestion: Get a birthing ball for Katie. It saved our first birth, and made the second one a lot easier.

I hope you have family around to help you during the first 3 months as they are the most difficult adjustment period after the first baby.

Vlad, the real kicker will be the first time you walk in the door and the kid is running at you screaming with delight. It somehow makes it all worth it.

Good on you two. Merry Christmas … neat present eh? ;)

Philip



Jeff Dempsey |

Congratulations!!!!

You will be the biggest hero to your son, and he will look at you with amazement and wonder as you take care of him.

I still remember the days when I would come home and my kids would drop everything they were doing and shout, “Daddy’s home!!!” It is an amazing feeling, and to be cherished.

Enjoy every minute, and remember: You will never be the same after you see your son.

Jeff
(who thankfully forgets what it was like before he had kids, all 6 of them)



Chris Knight |

Congratulations!

Get all your sleep now!

I reckon our wives are happy that their ship date slippages are nowhere near as bad as ours :-)



Carlos |

Vlad,

My friend I am so happy for you. We’ve known each other for a verrrrrrrry long time and I know you’ll rock the house as a dad.

PS. How’s it feel to see your son be bigger than you down there on the sonogram?!
