Conversation from this morning: Ethan asked, “Why do you have to go to work, daddy?” He clearly didn’t want me to go. I told him that I go because they ask me to do a particular job there and if I do it, they give me money. We use the money to buy food and…
This is great, Yiddish with Dick and Jane..
My weekend went well, but I didn’t achieve all of my goals. I got 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 and missed the rest. Still 60% is a good effort. I also reconfigured the holidays lights at the house. It looks much better now. Lately, I have been concerned over telecommunications mergers. Cingular and…
I have completed my first DOM recipe and it tastes good. Its a Supergrid to use in several different business application scenarios. It has all kinds of “better mousetrap” stuff in it. Read the JavaScript. It’s totally commented. Check it out. Here are my weekend goals: 1. Sign up Ethan for T-Ball on Saturday. 2.…
Big Joe Biden is going to run for president in 2008. Even though he is a senator, I think he is a natural leader. He has grit. He has moxy. He has charisma. He is presidential. I think Biden would be a better choice than Hillary (although I like Hillary). I would change my mind…
You gotta love John Stewart for this appearance on Crossfire. Tucker Carlson comes off like a jackass. Watch the video here. Also see his recap here. This is pure genius.
I usually only do 1 post a day, but today is the exception. A very funny Hanukah Song from the Suburban Homeboy, Eric Schwartz. Lyrics here. Make sure you have the sound on. If you have trouble getting to the links, it’s possible the flood of traffic crashed their server. Try this one.
I just spoke with a friend of mind, Misha, also a co-worker. He is a Russian Jew who has been living in the US for a few years. He says in Russia, the big holiday of the year is New Years Eve. In Russia, Santa is replaced with Grandfather Frost. He is an old man…
Last night at 2am, Katie shoved Matt at me, saying, “I need sleep, take him”. So I took him upstairs and walked in a circle with him while he was crying. I tried all my best moves. The pat on the back. The pat on the butt. Singing lots of songs, mixing up the lyrics.…
Today, Danny and Lindee are on “Who wants to be a millionaire? – for couples!” Hopefully they will win a million bucks! I’d be happy if they won more than $1,000. Lindy said Danny didn’t practice for the last few weeks, so if they are poor, it will be all his fault. Bad Daniel, Bad!…
Jared’s new name should be Echo. Sample conversation: Daddy: Jared, It’s time to get dressed. Jared: It’s time to get dressed? Daddy: Yes. Come on, get your clothes on. Jared: Get my clothes on? Daddy: Yes. Let’s go downstairs now. Jared: We go downstairs now? Daddy: Yes, come on let’s go. We are running late.…
I thought I moved to California. 1. It’s 47 degrees outside. 2. There is a ballot initiative which would split the electoral votes of the state to each presidential candidate based on population. (I believe that unless the rest of the country followed suit, and they won’t, then this would give a complete lock on…
Bill Johnston just lent me this book. It’s an autobiography of a cryptographer for the English during World War II. Very well written. I find that an autobiography gets an extra star the same way a singer/songwriter gets bonus points versus singers who don’t write. Ethan whacked his mouth on the coffee table by accident…
So Cingular has this exchange deal where you can send them in your ATT phone (only specific models) and get $150 cash back. So I switched Katie and I to Motorola V220 and V400 phones. Apparently as of Nov. 15, the ATT and Cingular networks have merged and are now just one network. In the…
