    2? man!

    so, we’re thinking about doing a birthday party. i’m a little iffy still, but… meh. no presents though. is it wrong to have a BD party without presents? we’re looking at getting him a like-a-bike, or a better tricycle.

    LIKEaBIKE: JumperRadio Flyer

    LIKEaBIKE: Jumper
    Radio Flyer: #53 Deluxe Steer & Stroll Trike

    ages ago, i’d located a tricycle with the co-pilot feature, and air tires. today, i just can’t find it. the noise of the plastic, hollow wheels on concrete is madness.

    Dear Santa,

    I realize it’s a little late for this, but hey, it never hurts. For Christmas, I’d like a ThinkPad W700 17.0″ widescreen for Professionals, rice it please. I understand that the economy is shot, so I could make due with a new hard drive and a new CD/DVD burner for my existing laptop.

    Also, if you happen to have an extra one, I’ll take a Canon EOS v1. Not too many people using film any more, so I thought you might have one getting dusty somewhere.

    Thanks,

    -Adam

    Dear Diary,

    I took my inbox from 253, down to 66.

    I feel accomplished.

    this bit about zunes turning off and not starting again makes me sad.

    Word on the street is that 30GB Zunes are shutting down around the world en masse as they hit midnight on December 31st. … [A] panicked owner says, “Yup, stuck on 100% but it’s out of warranty. What do i do?

    SAD!

    Sad that my palm m515 that isn’t supported anymore.

    Sad that my slightly less old and STILL AMAZING (all caps!) casio p505 (Link to PDF) isn’t supported. there are a few features it is missing from other exlim models before its time, and some things that need tweaking.

    if an electronics manufacturer decides to stop supporting a product, they should HAVE to give it up. allow us to continue to make electronics useful, not wasteful. there are many fine examples of the fine things consumers can do. you’ll only gain loyality, guys. your products will only become better, and more popular.

    It’s old news, but still a good excuse to get outraged at the US Government if you don’t have a reason handy.

    Times New Roman 14, as the State Department put it, “takes up almost exactly the same area on the page as Courier New 12, while offering a crisper, cleaner, more modern look.”

    FoRK

    Honestly, is that anyway to treat a loyal servant of the people?

    I’m not sold on the change. I’m going to do my best to employ as many of the Courier New 12 font faces as possible in 2009. I hope I can give their life some meaning again.

    VH1 needs to do a where are they now on the Courier New 12 font family.

    iova’s lappy now blue screens at boot. le sigh. too bad there isn’t any time to attempt to fix things like this. i suspect strongly that it’s the video card, and that ztronics should have just checked it out like i had asked them too. with the GPU says it’s at 0 degrees C, that’s not true. unless the pc isn’t turned on, hasn’t been in a long while, and the room temp has been 0 C for a while.

    0x0000000a (0x55006c00, 0×00000002, 0×00000001, 0x804ecba2), i hate thee.

        stalker!

        lovely to see you yesterday. i really liked the way you were side stepping with your mouth open while staring at me as if you didn’t really believe it was me. i also liked crashing my bike into the news stands.

      Certainly there are words to express how wonderful I feel, but this picture has peeled them from my tongue. So, this being Thanksgiving, I feel bloated…with happiness. Congratulations!

      Woot woot! Now every time I receive an email from you, I’m going to expect a picture of Iova holding another baby. Welcome to the world, Aoife!

      Outstanding! We can’t wait to meet her and see Riordan again (and their folks, of course). Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

      So. My duty and desire make my course clear: I must now watch a movie about martial arts, football, and…a dance.

      -me and her

      (I am a big fan of the stealth-baby method of family genesis.)

      Hi there friends – congratulations on your beatyful little daughter. What a pretty picture of the family:) All my best to you all, I look forward to see her. It is strange to see how Riordan is big now! He was just a baby one week ago.

      Hugs,

      Saedis
