This is what the HP technical support person said to me when I called about our printer. Our faithful HP LaserJet 6L, which was manufactured 10.5 years ago, and given to us 6(7?) years ago. It printed Mom's boarding pass just fine, and then one day later, all three indicator lights... (More)

30 Day Organizational Challenge Finish Line

Here is my original post to enter the contest, here is my update . Our computer room/guest room is now functional and neat. There are still two actively-being-worked-on server computers on the card table in the room. We had hoped to have them both in their finished... (More)

November in a Nutshell

This month has been full, busy, and blog-sparse. Because we're actually living life instead of blogging about it! But here goes: Noah is experimenting more with sounds. He copies a lot. Still not much consistently, but here are some things we've heard him say:... (More)

Challenge Update

Normally, when we have an update to a post, we just put it in the comments, but since I've entered us in the 30-Day Challenge , here's a separate post to link up. Now before any other "challengees" faint when they see my pictures, I'll remind you that we have guests coming... (More)

30 Day Organizational Challenge

My friends Bonnie and Liz participated in the last Challenge, and quite intimidated me by doing so. But I put OrgJunkie's blog in my reader (one of only three strangers' blogs I read) and have slowly been gaining confidence. The real enouragement I give myself is to note what... (More)

Miscellany

Jonathan loves to create meals and side dishes. On 10/2, he made a vegetable salad that we have recreated several times. Carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, onions, with one lemon's worth of juice as a dressing. Simple and delicious. 10/12 - I was in the basement... (More)

Canadian Thanksgiving 2007

We headed out Friday morning, listening to The Nutmeg of Consolation by Patrick O'Brian on the way. At our first stop, for gas, Jon realized that he hadn't brought his wallet. One of our stops was at our "usual" rest area, the one with the pedestrian walkways over the... (More)

Fairly Mindless Entertainment

This game would be better if it were random, but still kind of fun. I think 17 seconds was my high score on my desktop, and I just it again before posting on my laptop, and I only got to 11 seconds. Perhaps I am just more tired, or else it might be showing the difference between a... (More)

Nifty Video

A bunch of people made a neat video of a lot of kids using augmentative communication devices. My guess is that most of the devices are made by DynaVox , the company where I currently (for a little while longer) work. It is neat to see our technology making a difference in... (More)

Corneal Abrasion

Sunday morning, after playing outside before church, Jonathan came to me complaining that his eye hurt. It was red and watering, but I could not see any foreign object. It continued to be irritated, so I wondered if it might be pinkeye. The pain would come in waves, hurting... (More)

15 Months

Noah is 30lb 12 oz, 34 1/2" tall. He's getting over a cold, so the doctor could see fluid in both ears, but it's mild and Noah doesn't even care about it. If he slows down enough, his arms move in cross pattern with his walking, but usually he's speed walking or... (More)

Winamp upgrade

I got a security notice that I should upgrade from version 5.32 of Winamp to 5.35, so I downloaded the upgrade (and noticed that it supports my Creative Labs portable MP3 player - I'll have to check that out at some point), and once the install was mostly finished, got this message: ... (More)

Kill-A-Watt

Peter was nice enough to loan me a Kill-A-Watt for a couple weeks to investigate power usage around our home. I have thought about buying one before, but borrowing one is certainly better, though it is quite a bit of fun to test out devices to see how much power they use. I... (More)

Organizing for your Brain Type

Here is a brief review of Organizing for your Brain Type by Lanna Nakone . This is a neat book that gives some explanation about why some people have trouble keeping things organized and why some have trouble understanding those others. She puts people in four different groups,... (More)
