So I've been sitting on this announcement a few weeks.  After all my wife hasn't done the traditional announcements and to be honest I'd rather not release exact dates and stuff on the web.  However, as noted in the title Version 5.0 has 'shipped'  more specifically this refers to the fact that my wife and I have been joined by our first child.

William Sheldon V (the fifth) was born recently weighing 7lbs 4oz and with length of 19.25 inches.  He is as you can see below happy and healthy.  Mom and baby have both been fine. So when you wonder why I wasn't at Tech Ed or have tried to cut back a bit on some of my public speaking - the little face below pretty much covers my reasoning.
