B-Day

I'm starting to think birthdays aren't necessarily a good thing anymore.

Office Pictures

Finally getting most of the home office situated. Only thing left are some pictures or something on the walls.

	The chair is the newest addition. Now Laura can read while I work (i.e. play) and/or my son can sit over there instead of crawling on me.
	The flat panel is definitely nice but I still want 2. I like the floating shelves and desk we got from IKEA.
	We took the closet doors off and put in Closet Maid shelves. I used to have all my electronic stuff stashed away in paper boxes. It's nice to now have them in clear boxes. I also like the orange wall.

The terror of being offline for a day

A few days ago I mentioned how I think I'm addicted to the being connected to the internet. I know I'm not alone but it's funny to see someone write about it.

Testing

I see Blogger now has a way to upload pictures from the Blogger interface - just checking it out.  I'm also checking out the timer on my new camera.  Of which I got $100 off by using AntiRebate.com

A little too late

Your image really takes a hit when you try and play catch up.  First Microsoft gets pounded by Google's search capabilities.  Then Google turns Microsoft's Hotmail into a laughing stock when they release GMail.  And now Mozilla's Firefox, in my opinion, destroys IE in every way.  In all areas Microsoft has tried to come back and add the extra features that they lack.  The latest one is adding the ability to aggregate rss feeds in IE.  Unless Microsoft starts getting seriously innovative then...well...it's a little too late.

Colors

My son knows his colors.  He can organize things into piles of the same color but trying to get him to say the appropriate color is like pulling teeth.

Me: Look, this is a blue truck.  What color is the truck?

Boy: yellow

Me: No, blue.

Boy: blue.

Me: What color is the truck?

Boy: brown

Me: No, the truck is blue.

Boy: blue

Me: What color is the truck?

Boy: yellow

....and on and on and on....
