It used to happen in NY in May. I would start sneezing around May 1, and keep sneezing and sniffling until around my birthday. In the Bay Area, apparently, pollen season starts in March. I need to go to the store and pick up some clariten or something. Ugh. Sniffle. I thought of a good…
Man, Dell is ridiculously cheap. HP doesn’t even try to compete. They told me on the phone, “We can’t beat them on price.” And I don’t even think HP boxes are anything better than Dell. Gateway has servers too, but they are just as expensive as HP and they are totally untested. You can go…
Last night, Jared woke up about 7 times. I kept bringing him into his room. I said, “Don’t come back until it’s light out”. Next thing I know he is tapping me on the head, “Daddy, is it light out?” (Of course, it was pitch black). Then this morning at 6:00am the three of them…
Here is the improved SuperGrid. Notice how you can hold the ALT key down and select a large group in the Checkbox grid. I really need to break this all out. This supergrid has an enormous amount of features. I need to get detailed and show each feature one page at a time.
This is a list of the Top 100 Gadgets of All Time. I think a list like this shows how inspired design can change the world, or at least change pop culture. Design is such an important part of civilization. It is so hard to design with real craftsmanship. And what philosophy is backing the…
Hunter Thompson commited suicide yesterday. I don’t know why. Here is a nice rememberance by John Dvorak. I like him. It’s a long weekend. President’s Day. I am getting alot done. Cleaning, Burning CD’s for people. Im going to go bike riding with Jared shortly. Today is a nice day.
Matt has been getting better and better at crawling. On January 17, Bapu said that Matt would be pulling himself up to standing in four weeks. Well, its about 4 weeks later, and he crawled over to the bath tub and pulled himself up to standing. Bapu was right. I was wrong. I am sorry…
I made a cool new feature to the supergrid. I made it so you can select many at a time in the checkbox type. I know this probably doesnt make sense, so I will upload it and show it to you all tomorrow.
In this MSNBC article, it states how most Americans (including Democrats) think that torture is ok, sometimes. Here is the passage: Last June, in the immediate aftermath of the Abu Ghraib revelations, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said at a hearing of the Judiciary Committee, “If we knew that there was a nuclear bomb hidden in…
Finally, a website has a picture of our street. It isn’t labeled, but it at least there. Check it out: Look near the middle. We are the street off Sycamore, facing Teraya terrace. Woo Hoo! We had a rough weekend on all fronts. The house is a mess. Katie is mad. (She will probably get…
Two visits to the hospital in three days. First Jared feel at pre-school into a triccyle and gashed the inside of his lip. Part of his lip was just hanging off. At the ER, the doctor said they rarely do anything with inside mouth lacerations because they usually heal quickly on their own, but this…
Apparently Jared cut his mouth today on a rusty tricycle. Might need stitches. I will follow up. But speaking of stitches, the last time I got them was when I was playing football in 6th grade. I jumped up for an interception in the secondary, when suddenly Emil Bodenstein came flying out of nowhere to…
I finished reading The Da Vinci code. I was annoyed through the whole book. I had forgotten why I do not read fiction anymore. This book reminded me. From now until I forget again, I am only reading non-fiction. I am still on Power Broker. Great book. Actually, I find that most non-fiction books make…
This Article from MSNBC is pretty interesting. I think the federal government, by design, is totally imcomprehensible. Articles like this at least start you off in the right direction. Not all is as it seems to be. Do not judge a policy by its PR campaign. Anyway, lately I have been thinking about my own…
