Bloggers Make The News?
I was poking around on Slashdot , a site I used to read regularly, but then decided it was taking too much time. I found an article about Microsoft trying buy a portion of Yahoo , and apparently Yahoo rejected their offer. Not too exciting, but the interesting part is that the Financial Times... (More)

Father/Son Day
On Sunday, I went to a baby shower and Jon and Jonathan went out to lunch with our pastoral intern. Then they took me home so I could get a nap, and headed out to the annual Texas Independence Day party at the Regans'. (TID is really in March, but the party was delayed.) They had a very fun...

Robin Eggs Abandoned
We don't really know what happened, but we hadn't seen any robins at the nest for a while. Three weeks after Easter, I became suspicious, and now for sure these eggs won't hatch. We're going to clean up the whole window area and hopefully next year we will have successful robin hatching. (More)

Dean Kamen Quote
I read an interview of Dean Kamen recently. I first heard of him when he was demoing his Segway invention around the mall in our very own Concord (I don't know if I will ever be a Pittsburgher - still feel like a New Hampshirite), or possibly for USFirst , but he has been around a while - I...

Exercise
Good advice: if you're tired, make yourself get some exercise, even (or especially) if you're pregnant! I have observed before that I feel better when I am getting exercise, but for some reason I have lacked motivation to be consistent. Jon has been bugging me a lot about exercising, mostly I... (More)

The Christmas Tree Survives!
Our first attempt at keeping a live Christmas tree live was a dismal failure, for two main reasons. One, we didn't take it down until April or some other such long time. Two, I misunderstood the instructions about misting the tree. What you are supposed to do is mist the branches to keep them... (More)

Fruit and States
On our flight to Boston, I made sure we had plenty of snacks. Jonathan was eating a fruit leather when he held it up and exclaimed, "Looks like Nebraska!" It really did! A recent set of bits Jonathan has seen is fruits and vegetables including: apple, baby corn, banana, broccoli, cabbage,... (More)

Family Bed
After two and a half years of sleeping in a family bed, it is surely ingrained in me. When our friends' daughter needed to spend the night with us when her baby brother was being born, I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in another room. She even has her own room at home. But I... (More)

USA Datanet
I don't think I have written about USA Datanet on this blog.  They just reminded me to tell everyone how great they are, so I will gladly do so. USA Datanet is our long distance provider.  They provide a local number that we call when we think we are going to make a lengthy... (More)

Search Engine Optimization
About a year ago I realized that the search results from search engines were returning different index pages from this blog, instead of the actual article that contained the term that the person was searching for.  This is because the index pages only show the last 10 articles and are... (More)

Making Breakfast AKA Jonathan's First Post
Italics are what I (Jon) said during the dictation, though I missed a lot, and didn't type in some of Jonathan's repeated sentences. Daddy went downstairs with me, and I went downstairs with me too.  We didn't get three scrambled eggs, we got four.  (We had a... (More)

Hardest Sudoku Puzzle?

[ Update 10/24/2006: thanks to you all reading this post and posting other links, I have since found more interesting ones -- look through the comments - the one posted on October 9th appears to be pretty hard, though maybe I just made a mistake on...

Names
Don't ever name your child the same name as you. It confuses everyone, from doctors to insurance carriers to airlines. USAir and United won't let me check-in online any more, since it can't figure out what to do with Jonathan and me. We both have different frequent flyer numbers, but it is... (More)

Little Ears Listening All The Time
Thursday morning at breakfast, Jonathan said to me, "Maybe you should try vibrating your two glasses. I'm vibrating mine!" as he tapped gently on his orange juice glass with his spoon. How does he know about vibrations of glasses? Certain family members should be able to guess! I didn't really... (More)
