I try to be an informed voter, but I find it very hard to find information that will help me become informed. I finally found this link at SmartVoter where you can type in your address and get information on what your ballot will say. Unfortunately, it does not have the most... (More)

Jonathan Likes to Sing

Jonathan is very often singing or humming now as he works or plays. He knows the first and last verses of Amazing Grace and parts of the middle verses. He likes the "What's in the Honeypot" song from his piano lesson CD, as well as the version of "This Old Man"... (More)

Noah Likes Blenheim

Whenever Daddy opens a bottle of Blenheim ginger ale, Noah takes several sips, too. Tuesday (4/2) Noah thoroughly inspected the dishwasher handle. You can tell he's in a family of engineers! He can say "mommy" now, though not consistently. He also says... (More)

Happy April Fool's Day

It seems to be the idea this year to release the April Fool's day jokes early, perhaps to give them more credibility, or maybe simply to join with the Australians. I hadn't heard of the spaghetti tree joke before, but that is a pretty good one. I showed Jonathan and Noah the... (More)

LifeType 1.2.7 released

After a slightly hectic day yesterday, when I noticed some strange behavior on one of my servers, we released a new version of LifeType . While I am not impressed that the bug existed in the first place, I think it is pretty neat that a development fixed was released within 4 hours of... (More)

Baby Ticker, Midwife Center

My friend Bonnie has this neat baby ticker on her blog, so I thought I'd look up mine. Since I'm still getting used to the baby being as old as he is, it was surprising to me to see how big he looks. I couldn't get the application to imbed in the post, so it's on our sidebar at... (More)

Feedjit Statistics

Copying the rest of you cool bloggers, I installed feedjit a while back. I originally thought it wasn't going to be very useful, since I assumed that all of the international hits were the many search engines that like crawl the blog all day long, or worse, spammers trying to post... (More)

Debian Installed Relatively Painlessly on my Sony Laptop

I am sure this will excite many of our normal readers, but I have finally (after four years) switched my laptop to Linux. Now that I am using it everyday, it is much nicer to be in this environment, instead of having putty windows all over the place. Perhaps if I had a better... (More)

"Oh, why are we not more holy!"

"Oh, why are we not more holy!", he would exclaim with loving insistence. "Why do we not live in eternity, walk with God all the day long? Why are we not all-devoted to God, breathing the whole spirit of missionaries? "Alas, we are too much enthusiasts,... (More)

Easter Stargazing

We had Easter dinner at the Venables with four families (total.) It was a fun time and we got home after it was fully dark. As I was getting Noah out of the car I noticed that the sky was perfectly clear and the stars were shining as much as you can expect in a city. I saw... (More)

It Has Begun

I should have given the phone to Jonathan. That's who she asked for. But I hesitated because after the first greeting I had doubts about whether she was my sister or not. So I double checked, "Which Jonathan would you like to speak to?" "Um... Jonathan... (More)

Note to Self

When a customer says that he has a smaller project than the one I just did, don't pay attention, and think about the quote, rather than simply estimating the time as less than the previous project. Yesterday, I did a project for a friend (one who let me have better access than average... (More)

Noah Update

Last week, Noah opened the childproofed cabinets in the kitchen. It was no fluke - he closed it after the first time, and then deliberately repeated his action. So we have disabled those and instructed him not to open those cabinets (he is obeying so far.) These are the... (More)

Quickening

Last week I felt the baby moving. This is always a fun thing for a mom, to feel that physical connection to the baby. However, this quickening has brought with it an element of surprise. I do tend to feel my babies early, but that still brings me to at least 14 weeks... (More)

Fun for the Morning

I woke up this morning to find Taiwan's Yahoo server rejecting emails that were supposedly sent using my server. I originally figured it was the regular old spammer trick of using invalid return addresses until I noticed that it was one of my servers who was reporting the failure, rather... (More)
