Today at lunch, Jonathan opened the refrigerator door, took out the pitcher of iced tea (about 2-3 cups left), brought it to the table, climbed up on his chair, and began pouring the tea into his cup. He was perfect until then, but he had not yet been shown how to twist the lid so the hole... (More)

Mail Statistics

It is a new month, and therefore, a new point on my email graph . A couple interesting things this month: one, you can tell I went on vacation, and probably also that I knew Heather was gone the week before, so I wasn't emailing her as much either. Two, spam has now hit the 30% mark (note: the... (More)

Water Recycling

I have discovered a fun and convenient way to water our plants. Our air conditioner drips about a gallon of water a day if we run it all afternoon. If I put our watering can under the drip, it fills it in addition to keeping water off the porch carpet. Then the next day, I have a full watering... (More)

Internet Searching

It seems that lots of people have trouble typing in keywords into search engines that result in the hits that they want. Every once in a while I have to go to the second page of results, but generally things are available on the first page.For example, I was recently asked, "How do I get... (More)

Jonathan's Recent Activities

He seems to have at least one new word a day now. Sometime before March 24, he said "boots." On March 24 he signed "cheese" and drank some water from a small bathroom cup by himself without crushing the cup to a pulp and without spilling very much. He says water that sounds like "why." Other... (More)

Puzzles and Rhythm

Rhythm is such a funny word I had to look it up to double check the spelling. Anyway, Jonathan has shown advancement in doing puzzles, having patience to turn the piece more than in the past. Today, he successfully put the triangle and square pieces in his shape sorter, where before he only... (More)

Jon is spending today and tonight at the Jubilee conference downtown, praying for the conference and conferees in the prayer room. Jonathan and I went to meet him for dinner. Now before I proceed, I want to make clear that I would have been taking the bus even if we had a car, because parking... (More)

Appreciating Fine Art

I have not been too interested in paintings or going to art museums (except I did always like to see the Tiffany glass work.) I will admit that I had my doubts about whether Jonathan would like the Van Gogh bits, simply because I had no appreciation for them myself. But I determined to show them... (More)

Exciting City Life

As we were cleaning up from my birthday party, Heather noticed a police car in our back alley. It turns out there were two brothers (one is a self-proclaimed starving musician) who live in Pittsburgh, but were driving a New York plated car, without headlights, circling our neighborhood at...

PHP Zip Uploader Script

I wrote this script a while back to upload (via HTTP) a zip file full of .pbm files, convert all the pictures to bitmaps, put the bitmaps in a zip file, and then send it back to the user.I don't know how secure it is, so I wouldn't leave it around published somewhere on a server, but... (More)

More New Words

Jonathan now says "hot" at the oven, my tea, and the furnace vent (when the air turns on.) He has started signing "please." Daddy saw that one first. He also says "all right" especially when he successfully buckles the stroller or high chair buckle. (More)

Keys and Locks

I have been locking the file cabinet because Jonathan not only likes to pull the drawers (which is fine) but he also likes to pull out the papers in the drawers (not fine!) Just now he was sitting on my lap and he saw the keys on the table. He asked for them and I gave them to him. He... (More)
