Bad Behavior has blocked 721 access attempts in the last 7 days.

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)

Snowballs in June

The Carnegie Science Center has a promotion that if you bring a snowball in on the first day of summer, they give you free admission. Although this was the first year I'd heard of it, everyone else in Pittsburgh knew about it, too. We'd planned on getting there when it opened,... (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)

All Is Safe In The World Again

I am in the middle of a non-direct red-eye flight from Seattle to Pittsburgh. I was supposed to go to Charlotte, NC on the way, but USAir called(!) last night to tell me to come a half hour early to the airport (I was already there and had already checked in, and having a relaxing dinner... (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)

Lids and Climbing, Drop and Letters

Noah can now unscrew and screw on lids. He is also turning out to be an adventurous climber. He wanted something on top of the changing table and he succeeded in getting both feet on the top of the bottom drawer. But then he was stuck. He also likes to step... (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)

Beginning Puzzles, Candles, MEAT!

5/18 - Noah sucessfully put back one of his big knob puzzle pieces. In the last few days, Jonathan has been interested in lighting a candle at the table (not just for dinner, but anytime.) He can now strike a match and light the candle all by himself. (I have strongly... (More)

Car Accident on Penn Avenue

I am up late working on some code, and all of a sudden there is a really loud noise, and I look out my window and watch a car turn kind of sideways and roll over. As far as I can tell there wasn't a second car involved, but I don't know what could have happened to make him flip... (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)

It's Worth Finding A Good Pediatric Dentist!

Last month, I took Jonathan for his first dental checkup and cleaning. He did a great job, asking lots of questions and generally having a good time. But they did discover two huge fillings. The regular dentist doesn't do fillings for kids, so she had us make an appointment... (More)

Less Exciting, But Still Noteworthy

Here are the things I've written down over the last few days - and I had the foresight to take the paper out of my pocket before going sailing! 4/26 - Jonathan, playing with legos or something: "Dam it, dam it, dam it." Mommy: "Jonathan, please don't say... (More)
