Last catchup ended on the weekend of the fire company banquet. That weekend was also the beginning of the new adventure. Two different people called up to ask about looking to buy our house. No, not the one we're fixing up to sell. The one we're living in. Well, ok,... (More)

Notes Catchup Part I

2/6 - Joy went down a whole flight of stairs successfully. She slides down forwards on her bottom. Faith was with her this time. By now, she's an old pro at stairs. I bought some mini hair clips for Faith. They are the normal clear, brown, black, swirly brown that hair... (More)

Pocket Notes

11/18 - Jonathan, when meaning to say cylindrical said, "cylindicular" 11/23 - Joy took her first step, accidentally. 11/26 - Joy climbed up a whole flight of stairs. This was the first time she had done more than one small step. She was so thrilled with her newfound skill... (More)

Interesting? Message From Microsoft

I received a free "embedded" light from Microsoft a number of years ago. I put "embedded" in quotes, because I think it is funny that Microsoft considers a lightbulb connected to a USB power source an example of an embedded device. I guess I haven't looked that carefully, but I... (More)

A Couple More Links

Here are the last ones to share, I'll try to be more careful in the future to link to posts properly when I "share" things, so you can actually see the content regardless of whether facebook or google or the original poster make it difficult... Statistics in science : I don't quite... (More)

Pocket Notes

More than a month's worth of notes... 10/3 - Joy's diaper was dry all night long. She went in the potty three or four times. This was exciting to me and so the next night I prepared to be diaperless. I spread a waterproof pad, with towels on top. But she and I are so... (More)

Rest

I think Heather generally does a good job (though I think she might not be taking as many naps as she should be at the moment) of getting rest, and happy to have people come cook and clean for her, but it is always a good reminder to make sure we get enough rest . (More)

Distributed Social Networks?

I came across yet another version of a distributed social network, this one with hardware. FreedomBox Foundation is working on figuring out how to make tons of tiny little web servers that take out the centralized model. The New York Times has a decent article on explaining why... (More)

Occupy Wall Street or the Middle East?

Pretty eerie, how similar these situations are. I understand that being a police officer in a high stress situation is hard, and I am happy that there are people that are willing to step up to that job. I also know that in some cases, the videos being played are designed to start... (More)

Imagine There's No Pizza

I recently discovered that due to changes by Facebook and Google, quickly sharing items is harder than it used to be. There are a couple things I shared recently that I thought good enough to actually type up a post here. (you may agree or disagree about my choices of "good enough")... (More)

Going Back To Joy

Recently, I read One Thousand Gifts , which was recommended by someone whose blog I read, but I can't remember who anymore. It was a beautiful book and has inspired me to be thankful for the little things once again. (Briefly, the hesitations I have in recommending it: she writes... (More)

Pocket Notes

8/21 - I can't remember when babies are "supposed" to get object permanence, but Joy definitely has it. She was playing on her tummy on the kitchen floor with two toys. When she lost them under herself, she looked all around trying to find them again. 8/24 - Jonathan called the... (More)
