Macintosh / Core Fun House

I started a new IT job recently, and the majority of the people there have Macs, so I have been bringing one home in order to learn more about them. They have come a long way in 20 years, when I used to play on a Macintosh SE (with three floppy drives, a nice bonus so you didn't have... (More)

Noah's Visit to the ER

Yesterday, Noah poked a coat hanger into his eye. All is well now, but I wanted to post the adventure. My mom wrote up the story after my phone conversation with her, so I'm going to paste that here to save typing. I'll interject where I want to add details or... (More)

Walk

I went on a fairly long walk tonight (take a look at the topological map too, there were some decent hills) - I am in Seattle with one of my customers who is having their annual retreat, and invited me to come along. We are staying at the Palisades Retreat Center , which is a lovely place to... (More)

BCF Orchestra Concert Pictures

Our new church has a youth orchestra that Jon has become part of. They did a few concerts at local nursing homes last weekend and I got some pictures and videos. The main reason for this post is to explain the videos. Our camera isn't primarily a video camera, so it... (More)

The Report: Jonathan "Drives" A Backhoe

Just before 7:00 this morning, I thought I heard some sounds, so looked out the window to see a pickup truck but no backhoe. The backhoe arrived just after 7 and Jonathan watched out the window while I got ready for the day. Daddy said we could go out to look before breakfast since... (More)

5/7 - "Mommy, we don't see people with spears too much." Cell phones, yes, spears, no. 5/10 - I was doing some reading on the laptop and scrolling with the arrows. First Jonathan noticed that when I pressed the down arrow, the page went up, and vice versa, and... (More)

Chef Jonathan

While cooking our breakfast on Saturday, I saw that Heather had put the potatoes on the counter, meaning that we should eat them soon, and not forget about them in their normal storage place. I asked Jonathan how we should cook the potatoes for dinner, and he said that we should make... (More)

Sunny On Sunday

In college, our friend Volus used to say that it was always sunny on Sunday. Even if it was gray in the morning, the sun was out by the time church was over. I found that he was right for the vast majority of the time. This weekend was no exception. Saturday was rainy,... (More)

The Alphabet Song

Sung at a reasonable pace, it takes about 30 seconds to sing. I have been using it as a device for preparing Jonathan (and myself) for the end of a nursing session (usually two times through.) One not surprising result is that Jonathan is good at singing it himself now. His one... (More)

One of the LifeType users reported a security problem in the RSS parser that allowed any file on your system to be read. ick. Oscar has fixed it and 1.1.6 will be released tomorrow. Everyone on my server has been upgraded already and it probably isn't too critical for them, at... (More)

Spelling and Reading

Jonathan was wearing a shirt he got from Auntie E for Christmas and he looked down at his chest and said, "zero-s-h-k-zero-s-h. Oshkosh!" That was interesting to me because when he was first learning numerals, he called zeroes "o." When I menioned that in... (More)
