After the Rolling Stones crush at Michael’s restaurant in Midtown Manhattan celebrating Martin Scorsese’s rock doc “Shine a Light,” there was a more chill photo shoot with Lisa Bunnell, VP of film at Landmark Theaters (left), Steve Bunnell, head of distribution at the Weinstein Company as well as Variety’s Madelyn Hammond.

In researching my family tree I discovered that I have some Brazilian and Chinese blood in me. Amazing. The following flags represent my children’s heritage. What a mix!!

Much excitement here in the Dipasupil household… a rare photo of the entire family (from Kyle’s 6th Birthday Party)…

Kyle’s turning six soon. Amazing how fast time flies…

Every couple of years I get the urge to document my family tree. It’s embarrassing how little I know about my family’s history. I’ve tried various genealogy programs, but in the end (for one reason or another) I end up abandoning the project.

With the continuing “webification” of apps, I think I’ve found a simple way to get things rolling again (thanks TechCrunch!). Geni is an online Flash app that allows you to easily add family members to your tree and create a graphical view. The best part is the capability to invite people via email to update their own info. This should make finding that elusive family info a bit easier.

Geni is still in beta, but looks pretty good so far. I’ve already entered 60+ people to my tree. Hopefully some family members will help contribute.

As the birth of my second child quickly approaches, I can’t help thinking about September 11, 2001. I realize that’s a strange comment, but my first child was born one week after that day. His birth was a godsend and really brought us some joy during a tragic time. I hope that circumstances are better this time when this little guy makes his arrival.

Today the local news posted more stories and audio about 911 emergency phone calls placed from the World Trade Center on 9/11. One example was from a 35 year old man who was attending a conference at Windows on the World on the 106th floor. This brought back more 9/11 memories for me… I was the same age at the time and had visited Windows on the World frequently. More importantly, I could have easily been at that same conference that morning. Luckily, I wasn’t. I declined the invitation to that conference and worked from home that day. I know… lucky, very lucky.

I won’t go on about 9/11, but it’s life events and news reports like these that bring back some strong memories. One can debate whether things are any better today than they were in 2001 (I think they are). Either way, my heart still goes out to the many people who lost their loved ones that day.
